sex between the lens ?
Is it okay to have sex with a model or photographer? Does everyone do it? Is it okay as long it has nothing to with the photo-shoot? Because a lot of photographers and models, and whoever else on this site jokes about booty and sex and getting laid...all the time! I'd like to know everyone's opinions about this, especially here on Model Mayhem. Staying Creative Under the Lens, -Jack Jun 24 06 04:48 pm Link I think there are a bunch of topics on this if you'd just put "sex" in the search bar. ...and if you do it (make sure her ID is real) Jun 24 06 04:51 pm Link I would say to be careful but if you hit it off why not. Jun 24 06 04:52 pm Link Never on an assignment, never when there is a paying client, never without a mutual consent. Come on to a professional model who works for an agency and you're branded...she could tell everyone to watch out for you and you are screwed professionally...pack up and move away. Jun 24 06 04:52 pm Link Temptation is always going to be. But business before pleasure. Good one Nelandre. Jun 24 06 04:55 pm Link Legacys 7 wrote: aaaah butchered my name! Jun 24 06 04:56 pm Link Last I checked they haven't made it illegal for two consenting adults (regardless of industry) to have sex if they so choose.. On the other hand.. I imagine most of the folks here talk about it so much because not so many of them are actually getting any (or much).. It's certainly my reason..  Personally, I'll keep my banter here.. And stay professional behind the camera.. Jun 24 06 04:58 pm Link I don't know, out of the hundreds of women I have photographed, its only happened a once, at the conclusion of an intense shoots. It is always a remote possibility, and that may add to the tension between model and artist. But, I keep them seperate for many reasons. [ Tears of a clown. :`( ] But for me, shooting fashion and even sometimes shooting portraits is the next best thing. Caleb Jun 24 06 05:04 pm Link Nerlande wrote: uh oh.

Jun 24 06 05:07 pm Link Nick Ryder wrote: That wasn't the op's question. He asked if it was ok, not come on to a model who deosn't want you too. But I still say that if the doors are open, you are also opening up alot of other things that come with the territory. And all of them aren't good. Now unless both the photographer and model both have a clear understanding, then cool. Jun 24 06 05:11 pm Link Anything's OK that hurts no one and isn't illegal. It's a far smaller deal than most here make it out to be. -D Jun 24 06 05:22 pm Link I am reminded of that Seinfeld episode, where he hired a 'maid' that didn't do much cleaning.

The human in me says, "Shit happens." The lawyer in me says, "As long as each party consents to it w/o coerhision or anything & keep it private, I don't care." Jun 24 06 05:33 pm Link I get them to sign a seperate release.

Jun 24 06 05:38 pm Link I always go for the makeup artists over the models ..... they are more exciting, adventurous and better in the sack.

Jun 24 06 05:50 pm Link Christopher Bush wrote: well--honestly--isn't rape just unrequited sex? Jun 24 06 05:52 pm Link Kewl, are we talking about sex with models again? I am glad, it has only been about a couple of weeks since we had the discussion before. I am usually too busy worrying about taking good pictures to think about having sex with the model. Jun 24 06 05:55 pm Link This question comes up all the time from people in general. I shoot a lot of sexy women. And I'll tell you like I tell everyone else. My job as an artist is to do the best job in a shoot that I can to bring out the best images. I live and survive by not "hitting" on the models. I have had some that have made advances towards me. And I refuse to tell you or anyone else wether anything happened or not. Keep'em curious.... "Allure" Jun 24 06 06:01 pm Link jackfrost wrote: What? Models wanting me to provide photos and horizontal refreshment afterwards, too? That'll cost 'em extra. And I'm by no means cheap... Jun 24 06 06:04 pm Link D.

Jun 24 06 06:06 pm Link We're all grown ups here- I think its more about intention than resut. If you go to a shoot looking for ass- maybe the wrong reason. If you go to a shoot for right reasons and more developes- sure- why not. We arent splitting the atom or curing cancer. -Jose Jun 24 06 06:07 pm Link NEVER have! Ever. 30+ years. Have I WANTED to- f*** yes.......! But I look at every model as free referral material....and crossing that boundary muddies the waters. "Safe Sex", as practiced by professionals....is strictly thru the lens. Jun 24 06 06:08 pm Link photogs are people and so are models ...stuff happens.... Jun 24 06 06:17 pm Link First move by the photographer is always a wrong move. Jun 24 06 06:18 pm Link Tony Culture Photoz wrote: I can see the dialogue now - Hi, I am a professional photographer.

Jun 24 06 06:30 pm Link WTF? Sex between the Lens? Phooey, I thought this was about me and me, the teen years. Jun 24 06 06:31 pm Link i will ask why does it seem like no matter WHAT the situation is....there is always at least ONE guy that will try to turn that into a dating or scoring opportunity? LOL it could be a church service like a funeral or a BIRTH and some guy is thinking ...." hmmmm i wonder if i'll get lucky? i hope so!! " i look at MM as a way to drum up business by making solid contacts with reliable models......yes the models are gorgeous...THAT'S why they're models- that doesn't mean you have to sample the produce....SHEESH ....now like i mentioned things happen between consenting adults.....IF this were a place where the ONLY "models" were say.....billy goats...i'm scared to ask if the subject would come up....LOL Jun 24 06 06:31 pm Link I love sex.....but it's tough to pay my mortgage with it....or my car payments....food, clothes....and my wife would probably cut my cajones off!!! Jun 24 06 06:32 pm Link wow ,Iim soooo learning from everyone , it's brought up that i did'nt ask about having before or after the shoot , i never thought it that way , i just ask a question that onr of my students ask me today at my studio. so i figure i get advice from the front line ! ( I value every - photog and model opinion on here ) keep bringing me more , I'm truely taken all the info in . staying creative under the lens -jack Jun 24 06 06:34 pm Link I can hear the "after" conversation already. "How come you picked her/him for that job? I'm much better for it." "Honey, how come you don't use me instead?"....... Other models: "She/he only got the job because she's/he's sleeping with him/her." Great way to get a"head". So to speak...... Not so great for working professional relations.
