Yosh claims to be a showrunner for Infographics, which sounds fancy. Infographics, which is animated show that is on youtube . To best understand, he writes and produces this stuff and oversees the animation, etc. Here is a sample of his work on a youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuZgKJmLq8Y

Yosh is relatively successful but not hot in the Hollywood sense. It is tough. There's no reason for models and actresses to see him as a portal to success. He can't get them on TV or into a movie and he's not a force in cinema, etc.

So, he just wanted to cry.

I noticed the moderators had nothing to say about me getting rude on this post, but they sure did erase my response to someone on an earlier thread, telling me I was too, "rude". Humans are an eternal amusement. But then, they'll probably erase my comment here too.

lol  not yet. Rude would be the OP.

I used to live in Jacksonville which very close to the Georgia border. And it is true, Georgia Peaches are better than peaches from other places, they seem sweeter

I make a point not to work with dramatic toxic people like the OP.  Lashing out like this is sus.

I shoot bondage and I don't have the issues the OP is describing. Worst that happens to me is I don't get a response.

Feel free to speak for yourself and leave the rest of us out of it. Perhaps you need to reevaluate your approach rather resort to blaming everyone else for what seems to be happening to you. Your experience is not mine, and it's not even close.

I have been thinking about my post here and some of the others. We all got pretty defensive and then the jabs start in none of which is productive.... We want this forum to be fun and people to come back to it, some are going to see this thread and run the other way......The first post, yeah way out of line and even he could probably admit he could of posted in a more diplomatic way which is where professionalism comes in.

  One of the nude models I worked with told me a photographer pulled out and showed her a picture of his penis. That stuff happens and will continue to no matter what. For the record I do not have a picture of my penis or anyone's penis, I can never figure out the right aperture for that, F11 or F2.5......Anyway one of her friends, that nude model came to me for a shoot and I asked what she said about me and she said "she said your the only photographer she ever felt comfortable with....

  I bet these models, for the most part, that are having all these problems are ones doing nudes and they are following the $$$$$$$ I am not saying it makes it right or other wise. Models need to look for photographers who have done multiple shoots with multiple girls that were not paid shoots. When it's paid a girl will put up with more but where it's TFP shes not going to put up with anything so it says more about the photographer. I have plenty of shoots that have been one and done and then I have a number of girls that I worked with for years or like one named Sarah it was 2 years before she decided to shoot with me and then we shot 3 days in a row all day each day and she said she had a blast.

   Dating models........ I always want additional shoots and don't want to chance screwing that up so it's never a thought..But not to be forgotten photographers are human. I mean it's what happens what's said and so on like showing someone a picture of their penis that photographer should be slapped. It's all in the situation but the model has to be smart too about the photographer she works with and there's ways to go about that. It's not "our" fault that if you as a model are continually working with shit photographers so you get paid and you end up having all these problems.....  Generally with quality of work comes quality of the photographer. Not always but more often then not.

Recruiting models for me was difficult for 8 years, but now that I don't suck at photograghy and work with better and better talent, it's easy.

Work with one girl who's been in Playboy, make good art... suddenly doors start swinging wide open (Tabitha Elm)

Work with one LA girl who everyone has a crush on, suddenly ever other LA it-girl starts DMing you directly.

My advice is to make sure your work is the best it can be, and work with the best talent you can afford to.
