One big problem that crops up time and again with amateur models is that they are notoriously flaky. Many of them never show up, and many of the ones that do, show up late. I can see that the biggest advantage of meeting for coffee first would be to weed out the flakes before you have set aside half a day, and spent several hours setting up for a shoot.
What I have found works well is to set up "photo parties" where even if one or two people don't show, several others do. -- Larry Colen [email protected] http://red4est.com/lrc -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
