I haven't been shooting very much in the past few months after the exhibition and just getting to the end of the year a bit run down. I was very happy but run down.
On the weekend though I did a shoot that i had some expectations for. The model was visiting from out of town and had been wanting to do a shoot for some time. So it was very disappointing when he admitted that he'd been out all night and was even coming down from partying. Now I fully realise that I'm not using agency represented models and that by using non-professionals there are going to be some differences in the approach. I would, however have expected a little more respect that turning up without sleep and having had party drugs.
I'm not going to say what the shoot was or link the model to this post when it comes out. I think we got enough decent shots to create a download but it certainly won't be a fan favourite.
