New Term: Photogroper
After some of the recent threads about "GWCs" and "CWSs" and models being fondled by "photographers" I offer for your amusement a new term: "Photogroper" (pronounced almost like "photographer") - Noun; Appearing at first sight to be a photographer, the photogroper usually manifests by "accidentally" fondling models at the slightest excuse. mjr. Jun 18 05 08:37 pm Link Yeah just like the groper that took light meter readings off my perky set and at my crotch....Dud had to buy a new light meter when I was done. Jun 18 05 09:04 pm Link What are the letters? GWDFB, GWDH, or just GW How about the creepy chainsaw carrying, cubbord living, boat photo loving weirdo photographers? Jun 18 05 09:04 pm Link Marcus: Excellent... I second the term! Aye: Hmmmm... maybe he keeps the lightmeter... and sniffs from time to time... ;-) Jun 18 05 09:15 pm Link Posted by Udo R Photography: ewwwwww Udo lol Jun 18 05 09:24 pm Link I would imagine there are MANY photogropers on this site. Too bad they can't be exposed for who they really are so that legit photographers don't get lumped into that category. Jun 18 05 09:29 pm Link LOL...I love it...Photogroper. Now what about the MODELS who grope PHOTOGRAPHERS ?!? What's that term? Hmmm...maybe something like fondlemod? LOL That was SOOOOOOO lame. Sorry, I suck at things like this.

Jun 19 05 01:02 am Link Posted by Marcus J. Ranum: Sorry, but it's not a new term. It was used on models.com many years ago, I don't know if that's where it was invented or not but it was around at least 4 years ago or so. Jun 19 05 05:04 am Link Posted by Eric Muss-Barnes: Posted by Venus: Models who grope photographers? I was thinking you call them again. Jun 19 05 05:19 am Link Hey, some models DO grope photographers. I don't though. lol Just to make that clear. Anyway, what's wrong with groping ?!? Hehe.

Jun 21 05 11:36 pm Link i like to grope my photos all the time Jun 22 05 11:40 am Link hehe...great term, its about time someone gave it a name Jun 28 05 08:33 am Link Posted by Brian Ruder: I hope this is false. I'm sure our models can advise newer models on things to alert you to possible less-than-professional situation. Jun 28 05 08:48 am Link I've groped a GWC before... I guess that's why he's my fiancee, now... heehee Jun 28 05 08:55 am Link Is this really an epidemic? I never come anywhere near touching my models. I make it a point to keep my distance and stay a safe distance. I know some photographers don't necessarily do the same but WOW, this sounds like a lot don't. Jun 28 05 08:58 am Link Never cared for titles, most importance is getting others to come back to you for work and getting paid for something you enjoy doing. Don't let a label define the work for which you do, but embrace those that keep coming back to you for that creativity Jun 28 05 09:12 am Link |
