We paid out over $450,000 to talent last year. Every once in awhile we have problems with talent. Most of our talent are happy with us and work with us again and again.
Gisselle came to a shoot and when it came time for the paperwork, they had left her ID's at the house. Her boyfriend assured us he would bring the ID's..."we're professionals, etc." We ahot and paid her the fee (that her greedy boyfriend decided to bump up our normal fee), less $100 until we received the ID's....
A year later they called demanding their $$$ and claimed that they sent the ID's...I'm still waiting! They did offer to shoot again and collect their $100, but I'm not willing to pay double or triple my normal rates for solo girl or girl/girl shoots when I have 100's of models willing to work at the standard rate.
