Galina’s panties
Berlin-based SP Hermann is responsible for the excellent Clothing Use shown above. It is fairly common for SPs to direct models to wear their panties on their breasts as part of the Clothing use Solo assessment area, but going the “whole way” and using two thongs to make what looks like a real bra is unique. While it is encouraged for SPs to recreate known successful ideas, it’s when an SP continues to develop existing ideas in new directions that good content is elevated to excellent content!
In the above images, Galina is doing something unusual with her clothing, not because the assessment system requires her to but because this action is appealing in its own right. All content created to fulfill Solo assessment areas should prioritize being appealing above simply ticking boxes. Hermann’s approach here was fantastic!
Take Aways:
- Recreating successful images, GIFs or ideas is valuable, but spending time further developing those ideas in new directions will lead to improve content.
- When SPs invest time deepening their understanding of abbywinters.com concepts, the easier the SP will find it to deliver.
SP Brad reschedules a shoot
Model Liaison Leena was impressed with the diligence and ethics shown by SP Brad (Los Angeles, USA), when he postponed a shoot due to the model’s prescribed pain medication (following a foot injury) affecting her state of mind.
The green light was given to shoot the model with a clean bandage on, so long as it did not impact her ability to do the shoot. But SP Brad noticed a change in the model’s personality and on investigation, discovered her pain medication was narcotic-based, meaning the model was not in fit state to consent to her actions – making the Release form void – and shooting unethical.
In addition to his ethical treatment of the model, Brad also did the right thing in rescheduling the shoot, asking when the model was due to stop taking the medication!
If Brad had not already been in verbal communication with the model as part of his pre shoot planning process, this issue would have remained undiscovered until the day of the shoot. Cancelling or rescheduling shoots at any point is always an option but doing so on the shoot day is always more distressing for models and SPs and is also costly – in model travel, accommodation and everyone’s time.
Great work, Brad – very impressive!
Take aways
- Pre-shoot communication with models helps SPs not only plan for a good shoot, but pick up on potential issues before they happen
- If an SP doubts a model’s ability to consent to anything this should always be followed up on. Consult the Collective if unsure
- If a shoot needs to be rescheduled, immediately gather information to select a new date. The longer a booking takes to arrange, the less likely it is to happen at all.
