I work early in the mornings so most of the time I go to bed pretty early. Last night, im sleeping away and I get a phone call..from a photographer I shot with on my very first modeling shoot. I didn't answer it because it was late and i was half awake. So as the photog (for you none industry people, thats photographer) is leaving a voicemail, i read the wonderful text he had sent me. Something along the lines of "i think we need to talk. Im hearing you're out talking shit about me." Let me start off by telling you this photographer has one of the worst reputations out there in the industry, in fact I had heard bad things about him before I even started modeling. Secondly, I did not talk "shit" about this photographer. I simply told a couple of models that asked about him the truth. The truth is that he let the other models get wasted. Not just tipsy, we are talking wasted to the point of having difficulties standing and not getting any pictures taken (and yes i had one drink with these girls but i stopped at one). This was not a good first impression of the photographer, let alone the industry! I would say im sorry, but im not because i did nothing wrong other than speak the truth. If he cant handle the truth, maybe he shouldn't behave the way he does! So of course being me, a person to not hold back how i feel, i told him that i told people the truth when they asked about him. I didn't care there were other people around, i cared that he provided alcohol for these girls and that he was the one that put out this vibe. So of course he insulted me saying the only reason why photographers work with me is because i get naked (which i only do for 1 or 2 of my favorite photographers that i trust and we have a creative vision) and that nobody likes me. Am I the only one that thinks this is hilarious?!? So i write him back and tell him I honestly don't give a fuck what he thinks about me and to have a nice life. And then i get threatened that "i should care..." umm okay. Lets see you bad mouth me and try to ruin my reputation when you have the worst reputation of anyone in the industry in the PDX area...good luck with that buddy!
and now onto happy news :)
I shot with the fabulous Julian Wilde and his wonderful wife Raven last friday. Honestly, they are my favorite duo in this industry. They just ooze creativity and were made specifically for this type of stuff. And I always have to give a big thanks to julian for seeing what I could be. He gave me a chance when no one else would and I cant thank him and his wife enough! I got to be such an awesome angel!!! and we did some video which im sure is just hilarious..i had to run very girly and soft.
Then I shot with Josh aka MrTPdx again. I had originally shot with him and his now ex-wife a couple times in the past so i was excited to meet up with him again and get the creative juices flowing. Well we decided to go to the corn maze on sauvie and man was it muddy (muddy but fun!). We decided no shoes was the best option ha! So much fun with Josh and he just cracks me up. Im glad to hear he's happier than ever and on his way to making his life more positive! Here is a pic from that shoot:
