You MISSED her point...

She is NOT worried about ALL photographer creeps...just middle-aged, fat, & creepy photographers...Now does anyone dare to ask what kind of personal industry standards constitute fat, middle-aged, and creepy. ((grinning))

Hey! I ressemble that remark! I even have some trees. I like landscapes. They sell better and for more money than most nudes, and the model never hands you any crap. Sometimes you meet up, though, and they're not ready to shoot for days.
If she doesn't like to shoot with us old, fat guys, she doesn't have to. I still like shooting with skinny models, though. Hell, I have fun shooting with anyone.

NO, but you can make sure that you take an ESCORT to every shoot, and ANY photographer who feel that they are ABOVE shooting a Model who feels they need an escort should get a Grip on reality!

I know of 2 cases(one on each coast, on in Pa fairly recently) where a Model was KILLed by her Photographer!! They were not some GWC, but established Photographers.

I have shot models with and without accompanying escorts, and I never had any problems with an escort being in the way.

a Models Safety is first, and any photographer's EGO who is too frail to deal with an ESCORT shouldn't be doing this!

Normally if I do not know the model I request that they bring a escort with them. I also normally bring a escort with me. Usually either a friend or my sister. Not only for the models safety but also for mine. There are some crazy models and crazy model boyfriends out there. I have heard the stories of models getting killed by the photographer but I also know of some recent incidents where photographers were killed or injured by the model and/or boyfriend. If I know the model well I will do without the escorts.

The real warning is "Look out for Wannabee Models Rambling."  People might tend to listen and think what they say is true.  Oh wait, this is the 'net where everyone is right.  Nevermind
