No free meals here...even for photographers

-
What is it about models that keeps them skinny and desperate? Ego.
Photographers, clothes designers, escort agencies, bogus clients all play on young models' egos. "If you work for me for free you'll make lots of money because I have connections" or "If you come here you'll make lots of money and can stay at my place gratis. I only require that you fuck me on the first night" or some other lame bullshit. Some porn "companies" have even tried to bribe me with future riches in lieu of actual payment.

Case in point: an internationally renown German photographer who I finally had to tell to fuck off. Yes, his photography is published in many picture books plus exclusive catalogs so, apparently, rich dummies buy the prints, and I've even spotted his pictures here and there. He lives a very posh lifestyle but, according to him, makes no money and, consequently, "never pays the model." 

 Nazi nigga, please! When the job is free the river runs both ways. You can't make demands without pay.

I've posed for TFCD shoots before or for very little money but the trade off was always tangible...and the photographers, humble, polite, engaging. They offered lunch or lodgings or train fare or something in addition to copies of the pictures as a show of professionalism and thank-you. This rich German motherfucker, however, with his head up his own ass and mistaking shit for roses insisted he was doing me a favor by wanting to take pictures of my big, black cock (HIS words) because his work is internationally famous. Say whuuh? Nazi nigga, please! When the job is free or "trade" the river runs both ways. You can't make demands without pay. 

I'm already in coffee table books -- thank ye very much! -- so old dude's ego massage was missing the spot. And, anyway, of the gorgeous men he's photographed none of them have become über famous or rich from of it; and certainly not to people who defend gay pornography as "art."
