Male or Female Photographers?

It seems to me that the hottest chicks are alot more willing to do more with a male photographer than a female photog incuding getting naked. There is so much apprehension when asked by a female to model, why?

I like the female photographers. Well.. that's mostly because I'm Hetero and I dig chicks with cameras.

That depends on the model, some feel more comfortable with females when exposing their body, some feel more comfortable with males, and it would also depend on how well they work together and how comfortable they feel. I would feel quite uncomfortable with a insenitive unprofessional male photographer yet feel comfy with a male photographer that kept it professional and chatted a bit lol. < thats just me ( case study eheheh)

One of my photographer girl friends asked me to get naked for an assignment she had so I said "why not!"  "but your getting naked for me," I said.

Yeah I really don't think I could make that same deal with one of my guy photo friends.

You're making an observataion, and then arriving at an assumption.   But your assumption has holes in it.

I seriously doubt that "there is so much apprehension."

Just more male photographers. And (hetero) males love naked women.  Hence, lots of the "hottest chicks"  are working with male photographers. 

Numbers and Nature.

Wierd because I would have thought the assumption would have been that it was easier with a female photographer to "get yer kit off"so to speak.
Being as they have all the same bits n bobs as you do just in varying sizes.

Either way its the person I am being photographed by not the sex they are.
the sex doesnt really matter, its who they are all about and how they are that is the important bit if we are going to work well.

Well put...I agree. It all depends on the person.

Well I know the OP asked this question of "hot chick" models, but I will answer it anyway.  To me, it generally does not make a difference as to what sex the photog is for most types of work.  However, if the requirement was to "get naked and look sexy", it would probably be much more natural to interact with a female photog.  But on the other hand, its a job. If model and photog are the same sex (and heterosexual) than at least you don't have to be concerned about ulterior motives and you can focus on creating the look that is needed for the shoot. So I guess for me, it all depends more on how professional the photog is about his or her work. And how they interact with me. - I like to work with open-minded, respectful and friendly people of either sex.

I do not understand this mentality at all. You are in an industry that thrives and breathes on finding attractive, beautiful and, yes, even *gasp* sexy things about the models being photographed. But you "feel weird" about it if those same things that drew the photographer to work with you are still on his mind while shooting???

Sometimes it's not about the professionalism of the photographer but about the sensible modesty of the model.
