    I am maximum frustrated. Traveled to shoot a model. Planned 6 weeks ahead. Expensive location. Distinct styling. Model canceled shoot the minute we were supposed to meet due to a jealous boyfriend.

    Can’t believe this. She is a professional model (meaning it’s her main job). How can this be true?

    Now I am in an expensive place all by myself. I feel empty and so disappointed.

    • Holy fuck. Has this happened before? Will you be compensated in some way anyway?Continuity
    • No compensation. All at my own risk. Last time it happened was 2013 when a model partied too hard the night before our shoot.SimonFFM
    • fuck all. find somebody local asap, and forget about it.

    • I tried to find a local model but didn’t succeed.SimonFFM
    • Good god. And I suppose you don't have a contract you can forward a lawyer to sue her?Continuity
    • Also, did you have a hair & makeup person there, too?Continuity
    • Luckily no mua. Contract is after the shoot. Doesn’t cover things like that. Barely happens. But when it does it sucks.SimonFFM
    • Maybe it's time to re-think this, and make them sign on the dotted line before the shoot happens, just to protect yourself.Continuity
    • This is not how the biz goes, unfortunately.SimonFFM
    • Eh. Obviously that thought doesn't help you. Sorry.Continuity
    • Thanls for your kind words! I'll get over it.SimonFFM
    • That sucks. Also, she's not a professional model is she acts like that.

    • I'd still have a contract that at least forces models to acknowledge their responsibilities (including stupid shit like this).formed
    • Personally, I'd probably be posting a comment about her warning other photogs. Not that that would help you, but pros shouldn't be doing this shit.formed

    • Agree with shapes. Ultimate apple pie in exotic locations.misterhow
    • boyfriend was jealous because of your apple pies, I heard he can barely fry an egg.oey_oey
    • There are barely agency models in my business. Agencies are like pimps and you cannot plan the styling as you cannot speak with the model directly.SimonFFM
    • In 10 minutes I have my second shoot. I always have a backup shoot when I am in special locations and traveled far to shoot.SimonFFM
    • Okay, so it's not a total wash.
      Have a good shoot, mate!      Continuity
    • I was gonna' say plan it like a hotels&airline – over book if one ghosts the otherone gets twice the exposure. You keep doing you!ArchitectofFate
    • It's UN-NICE week for me. Go find a real problem. "Oh no, my model didn't show and I'm accidentally on vacation" is not something that should upset you.garbage
    • Hopefully you did a shoot anywaycannonball1978
    • Ouch! So sorry Simon :( Hope you can recover quick from this... And yes, she is totally un-professional, what a prickOBBTKN
