Just a simple question for models and producers. How much do you truly enjoy wam?
Most moves the models are clearly having fun. Some enjoying the textures. What we don't see is all the messages to and from organising the shop, the travel and the dreaded clean up. Then the editing and uploading of course.
Does all what happens before and after the shoot make it less fun? Especially knowing the messier it is, the more clean up there will be.
I am not a professional photographer. So I am not that experienced with models but years ago I have hired some. I was somehow disappointed when I have put exactly that question: "Did you have fun?" The basic answer was yes it was fun, BUT ... When I questioned a bit deeper, the reply was more like: It was not that bad, the good thing, I ad not to do nude shots, and for good money I am doing any job.
The pre and post work is hard like you mentioned. It gets easier the more you do it and develop shortcuts, but the amount of physical work and financial investment that needs to go into setting up and tearing down a shoot will always suck.
And yet, none of that matters once everyone's present and ready to shoot. Then it's legit some of the most fun I've ever had. And not to speak for the women I shoot, but I'd say most if not all of them had a blast as well. They may not all like "WAM" the way forum members do or to the extent that video consumers might want them to. But if you do your due diligence and find people who match what you want to shoot, you're going to have a lot of people who can find the fun in getting slimy for a few hours.
Love you, too
