Model #27 by Als Photographer

Budapest 2010 Casting Assessment: Not Selected
Samantha is a model that we were pretty sure that we were going to shoot based on the sample pictures that were provided to us by our agent. However, when we casted her it was absolutely horrible. Samantha spoke and understood absolutely NO English and NO Hungarian; not even one word if you can believe that. So there was no way what so ever to communicate with her. She just started into these exaggerated, stiff, calculated poses like some machine in a vacuum. This is not what we want; we want to see a girl's personality and get her to do poses and positions that she may have never done before. Samantha is a pretty enough girl and has a wonderful body, but I cannot imagine how anybody other than a Russian photographer would be able to work with her. Without any form of communication, it is impossible to work with her. Aspen was there but offered little assistance because even she could barely understand English. Jimmy and I knew immediately that we would not be able to shoot Samantha.
