I would say that .... 1 in 10 for me is creepy by that description. Am I working with the wrong people?? Why don't these photographers I work with put out the "I want to have sex with you" vibe? I must not be bootylicious enough.

you're pretty.

What does anyone else think? Maybe she's not thoroughly checking her references? Or maybe she just has the dumb luck of attracting creeps?

Yeah dude, shape up! Don't be that 1 of of 10. I give creep lessons. Tell her I said "Hello baby!"

If you think about it, our profession is creepy, We photograph  and leer at beautiful people , (mainly women) in  a state of flirtyness, sexiness, and desire. Yes ,I love beautiful women and am I attracted to them of course , I am a hetero guy, to say that I wasn't I would think that the model would get insulted because that would mean she is not doing her job!

I've said it before, many times, and I'll probably say it again, any photographer who thinks horny thoughts during a nude shoot is simply not working hard enough and should examine his (her?) real moitives for shooting nudes.

Hey that wasn't a photo shoot. It was the set of the Jodie Foster film "The Accused." And that WAS creepy lol.

LOL what I meant was the photographer was like "do that! That's good!" Man I gotta be careful what I say on MM!!!

It depends on your def. of horny thoughts , I appreciate the female human form and can easliy say that if it is a nice figure I am in no way "repulsed ' by it .

Maybe she'll tell that story to the next photographer. Only this time he'll be the 1 out of 10...

hah.. same here.. my booty is not bootyfull. Or whatever kids these days says it!

But it makes the job done without them trying to have sex with me

If the photographer is trying to have sex with the model during the shoot, he's giving part time effort to two full time jobs.

Sounds like she has a fairly low bar set for what creepy means to her.  "He kept STARING at me through the viewfinder! It was SO creepy!"

Either that, or she's using reverse psychology to make up the tale to get anyone she shoots with to ensure that they 'behave and rise above that'.  Could be her own overblown exaggerated way of making her thoughts known on what kind of behavior she expects.

Maybe she was secretly disappointed that you didn't try...after all, she was 9 for 9 before you...you broke her perfect record!!!

Sounds like a case of "I'm so beautiful everyone just WANTS me!"

Some are just way to impressed with their own looks!

If she doesn't like being looked at or having cameras pointed at her, then she shouldn't model.

Maybe the model would think the same thing of museum visitors as they study at a painting.

Maybe the model confuses the photographers observation of the subject matter as something else.
