What is Your experience with MM Casting Calls?
For Models: What is your experience with posting casing calls on Mayhem? Especially for travel models who may want to line up jobs in a particular city a month or so ahead of time? Are casting calls safe for you as a female model? When I look at them it's mostly the photographers who post them, seldom from the models.

However I think I may know how some Models might feel after posting a casting call I visited LA a few years ago before Covid and posted a casting call on MM which resulted in about 225 responses Which was quite overwhelming for me Mar 17 24 07:00 pm Link LightEnough wrote: from the casting calls rules: Mar 18 24 12:10 am Link I agree that models use the Travel/Availability section to assist in finding assignments away from home. When travelling with my family I generally try to arrange for several sessions along the way, or at my eventual destination because this gives me the opportunity to pose for new artists and photographers that I would not otherwise be able to connect with. In addition to the possibility of posting a Travel/Availability notice, models also have the option of searching for photographers and artists in areas they will be travelling to and messaging them directly.

Yes, we get those complaints frequently. A few PMs to members in an area you're going to is fine, but carpet-bombing PMs to members in that area is a no-no. Mass dissemination of your travel plans and desire to work is precisely what the travel notices are for. Mar 18 24 12:40 pm Link Personally, I welcome travel models to ping me. Sometimes I have something to book, other times I have to just say, "sorry, no"...of course other photographers may feel different and you probably should look at someones profile rather than pinging every one who claims to be a photographer in a given market,,,but, I'm cool with it, anyways.
