The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

Re:'creative' industryAs a photographer, I pretty much agree with this. A few tricks of my trade.
* A lot of our equipment isn't necessary, it's just for show, and to justify the mucho cash we screw from the client.
* We often don't have a clue what we're doing, and can't be bothered to do a decent job. Thank God for photoshop, you can fix anything with it.
* It's not glamourous, just hot and sweaty, if studio bound, so we always have plenty of deodarant and air freshner. Most models fucking stink, due to their diet of booze and cocaine.
* And yes, "flowers/chocolate for the model", really does mean booze and coke. If it's been a good shoot, I go for 2 grams; if not, an eighth.
If doing porn, the room stinks even more, and it's not erotic.
