"Tickle the Model's feet" (tickling mention only)

[Chullaxoth]

I don't know if the story is true or not, but this girl talks about her internship with a kooky fashion photographer who apparently tells her to tickle a female model's feet to get her (or them) to smile for a photography shoot:

Cool find.

 

[TickleChgo]

Yes, neat find.

But, I just have to say, who posts this kind of vacuous crap to YouTube? Yeah, we on this board happen to find her story amusing, but, I mean, did she really think people cared that much about her story to record and post it?? Did she post other stories about, umm, her taking out her trash one day?

I'vre read about the photographer who did this! He mentiones this on his website.... I will see if I can find it again and will post the link here. I just sw his site about 2 weeks ago.

I hope I didn't steal your thunder Oddjob0226.

Here's the blog:Photography blog

A person replies that it is Annie Leibovitz

Strange! No, that's not the link.

I mean, I found a website for a male photog a few weeks ago who does advertising photos in Florida, mostly for Asian markets, who either tickles his models or gets them ti tickle each other to create a happy, spontanous expression on their faces. He even posted some examples. I can't find the site now, though, although I saved 1 or 2 of the images.

I thought maybe this might have been one of his assitants, except I see that she's talking about a female photog in NYC.

Is this the website: website

 

[Oddjob0226]

No it was some kind of blog page he set up.

What a head case that photographer is! I hope most of the professionals aren't like that.

Also classy of Sophia to not give out the name; I would have been tempted.

I thought this would be a funny or mildly exciting story based on the title of the video, but I felt bad for the young lady.

Tickling a model's feet doesn't really seem that bad for an assistant to do, albeit kind of odd. From what I have experienced myself, read, and what I've seen on "America's Next Top Model", models, photogs and assistants have to do some crazy stuff sometimes.

I think that for this lady it was the final straw due to a lot of previous craziness.

oh wow

aside from the weirdness of a photographer yelling at an intern and whatnot

how awesome is it that maybe there are gorgeous models all over the place getting tickled so they are smiling in the photos

that thought is gonna keep me warm for many a night

each time i see a photo of alessandra ambrosio, adriana lima, or ana beatriz barros laughing it is going to be because she is getting her feet tickled by a photographic assistant

great find

shallow me
