Why do models cancel so often? Or do photographers cancel more than models do?? Its a conundrum!

I ave gotten many photographer cancellations. It's tough for us models, too. It's a letdown when we're all packed and planned to shoot. If there's comp invvolved, it's even more disappointing when ur counting on that pay.

@Elki yup I know its tougher on the model cause she counts on the payout. But its a big loss on the photog too- making up the set (or paying for one), putting together and adjusting all the equipment, adjusting other commitments like other jobs is a money loser as well. I always inform models that I can deal with a cancellation outside of 24hrs, but within 24hrs its a real bummer

Oh, I had to cancel, but not the Day of...... or while the Model was waiting for me..... They have plenty of time to make other arrangements or for us to re-schedule for another date.... I've traveled 7 hours to work with a model, to only get sick once I arrived.... had to cancel the session.

@CSDewittPhotography I got you beat! I traveled from NJ to Indianapolis by car (10hrs btw) and the model cancelled when I arrived. I thought it was a sad practical joke. This after talking an texting for two weeks straight without 1 problem! I'll never do that again....

I went to Westchester from Brooklyn about 2hrs. Cost me train fare($5) plus metro north fare ($20) and I had texted the photog before I left. He was supposed to pick me up at the station. I waited and texted. Finally, about an hr. later, a text saying he was stuck because a storm the night before left a tree in the road. I had to just get back on the train and go home. I couldn't believe it. This was a TF shoot. He wanted to reschedule, but I agreed to reschedule, if he reimbursed for the trip. He refused. That was my biggest disappointment.
