i just sent this email out to a photographer.

Note: it's been ONE year since we first shot. Over one year actually. He did send 2 images about a month ago during my trip to Tampa. (those took a year to arrive).

it was a tfp shoot. laura and her assistant came as well. we met up and shot at the home of the make up artist in one of those tall chicago buildings that's near the water. (there are two of the round cylindrical buildings). we shoot 2 sets inside the apartment, one in the apartment halls, and one on the rooftop.

how long before i can really start to bitch and complain?
there's only been ONE other photog... ok TWO... that have pulled this kinda stuff with me. hmm...

I was just wondering if you got around to doing any more photos at all besides the 2 you recently sent to me via email.

i understand that there have been problems for you as you say, but this is now over one year since the shoot took place.

Not only did i spend my full day to do the shoot with you, but Laura from vex clothing and her assistant also came that day to work on the shoot. They also spent time before the shooting to prepare the clothes and try and organize things before i had even arrived in Chicago. We agreed to doing this work for our mutual benefit and without charging a monetary fee, but we also had the expectation of receiving images to use in a timely manner.

On a different level, this has also left a blemish on my relationship with Laura, someone who I have worked with for a very long time. I continue to work with Vex of course, but since I was the one who suggested the shoot to her initially, it still reflects badly on me. She offered up her services as well as her clothes to use, and again, has nothing to even look at.
Vex is a fetish clothing house, as well as a fashion one. Each season there are new designs and new patterns and if she has to wait too long, then the images and clothing in those photos become obsolete. We can still use the images for a variety of things, but the initial impact of the brand new designs has been lost, and then we have to take the time to reshoot everything again.

Can you tell me at all how long we need to wait before we can expect to receive anything that we can use?
