Even worse, the offers for TFP bodypainting, oh, and by the way, he doesn't have a studio so he'll have to come to your place.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!

It's a little long but this was the funniest one so far.

This is very much a modeling positon. . You would be the client receiving the massage, keep in mind that like any massage you would be positioned laying on your stomach with a towel or sheet covering your back side. A very beautiful and professional massage couple will be giving the massage. The scene would be lit by a dozen candles and the last scene of the video would be you wearing only a mans white button down business shirt. you would have a flask of massage oil and would be dribbiling it on the females back while the male massages the oil in. After a while the female would get up and kneel behind you and the male would kneel in front of you. Kind of makeing you the middle of a sandwich. the male would slowly unbutton your white shirt and the female would slide the shirt off your shoulders. it would be shot from such an angle that although you are nude, nothing will be seen because you are being blocked by the male in the front and the female in the back. the male would lean over your shoulder and kiss the other female model while you reach around and run your finger down the males back....then it fades to black.

When I turned the offer down they accused me of being immature and out of touch with my sexuality.

I'm still hoping to patent the bra based on men walking behind women holding up their boobs.

Just a note to people out there... A concept description that reads like a Penthouse letter is probably a bad thing to send to a model.

The only thing that could have made this better would be if he ended by saying "and then I will get up from in front of you and turn the camera off"

I said no when...
a new local photog asked me to shoot some lingerie TFP... at his house... in his bedroom, because he doesn't have a studio. Uh-huh.

I've since met him at a photography seminar, and he seems like a nice guy, but still!

He's now asked more than once for a shoot. As soon as I offered to meet him for an in person go see to view one another's books, and suggested we start with an on location fashion style shoot, *whoosh* he was gone.

90% of the shots in my portfolio were shot in my home. You may not like them but the models I have worked with have been very happy with the results. Nothing wrong with not having a studio. Just my 2 cents......for what it's worth

I don't do body painting but I have had some of my photo models volunteer to do body castings.  It is fun, but you do have to be friendly.

That's why you take someone with you. I have a nice series of "silk sheet" shots that were taken right here in my own bed.... With models who have lived to tell the tale. lol

I guess it depends on your trust factor.

Hmmm. It seems that I guess we all have to have studio to be recognized as a professional here...or I guess that we cant shoot things unordinary. I would rather look at the persons credentials and/or plain talent as an artist b4 I make any judgement...Damsel in Distress or not, body painting or not. It was only a few years back that photographers who were shooting Goth were being criticized as well as the models. Look whose laughing now. photography is an art and any predisposition taken against it without consideration for the art or artist is a fools position. The main concerns a model should have are 1. safety 2. payment (i.e., tfp, comp, etc.) 3. understanding / agreement 4. safety 5. payment (i.e., tfp, comp, etc.) 6. value to their port / career 7. safety 8. payment (i.e., tfp, comp, etc.) 9. opportunity 10. safety, payment (i.e., tfp, comp, etc.), possibility of career advancement/portfolio advancement

Well, so many girls who take pics think they're going to be the next Tyra Banks or Cindy Crawford, standing at 5'5 so they think if they take a certain pic ( a nude one) then their "career" is ruined. HAHAHA!!! I've had a few well known and unknown models models at my house for shoots. Be it the house in Alpharetta or the one in Cascade Heigts to the loft in West End all the way to the townhouse in Ohio. Long as the shoot is done tastefully and respectably, no checks bounced and the shots came out to OUR liking, who cares what anyone else thinks, you know?

Some photogs like studios, some don't.
Some models have blond hair, some don't.

Bottom line is, variety is the spice of life.
