What's so safe about a female photographer?
I would like to point out something that in law is affectionatly known as past precedent. A rather well known female commercial model (gay) was shooting for a rather well known company with a rather well known female photographer (gay)... photographer hit on model, pressure about images and getting the gig and so on and so forth and the model took the photographer to court. And won. And i read it in the papers at the time. So why do people feel more safe with a woman? Kerazy internet models  Gotta love 'em!Jun 30 06 07:51 pm Link I have never worked with a female photographer.. at least not that I can remember. lol I definitely wouldn't mind though. I'd let her hit on me too. It's cheating if I return the advances of a male photographer.. but not a female!  Jun 30 06 07:53 pm Link It's a false sense of security. Women are conditioned to be less aggressive than men and old beliefs still exist that we are less sexually inclined than men. And women aren't regarded in general as physically strong enough to force themselves on an unwilling recipient. So there are a lot of reasons for this attitude that women are "safe". Jun 30 06 07:55 pm Link All I can say is that when I'm PMSing I'm a danger to all living things. The only thing that appeases me is sushi and a microbrew. Maybe smoking a bowl. Jun 30 06 07:56 pm Link yeah that was kinda funny... you just offended every gay person on this site. as well as the bisexuals. i heard they dont approve of bi-curious girls too much? especially those who do it to get a man off... or on... or annoyed... or jealous. tee he he this is mad Jun 30 06 07:56 pm Link because chicks are less creepy. girls can get away w/ alot more then a male photog. I don't know why it's just that way. and besides there aren't enough female photogs at least not in the md/d.c./va area. Jun 30 06 07:56 pm Link e-string wrote: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Jun 30 06 07:57 pm Link i hear you on the safety thing... its just a weird preconception... i guess rose west used it to her advantage.

Its pretty damn curious from where i'm sitting. Infidelity is as infidelity does. Jun 30 06 08:00 pm Link And what straight man is going to complain if he is fondled by a female photographer, as long as she is reasonably attractive and smells good?? Isn't that one of the perks of being a male model? Jun 30 06 08:01 pm Link Dee wrote: Wish I could! You have some lovely fashion shots. Jun 30 06 08:01 pm Link Rose West is half of a serial killer husband and wife team... she trapped the victims with trust and being a woman and all that jazz and then they killed them together. Its horrid but i brought it up because i'm mean sick and twisted... or something like that. Jun 30 06 08:03 pm Link Sian Louise wrote: I'm gay. I wasn't offended. Jun 30 06 08:03 pm Link Sian Louise wrote: So basically, what we should be focusing on is why photographers shouldn't need an escort to protect ourselves from you.... Jun 30 06 08:04 pm Link Sian Louise wrote: No, I'm not straight. I'm bi. And that doesn't mean bi-curious, because I know for a fact what I like. My boyfriend wants me to be happy as long as I am honest with him, and no he doesn't ask for threesomes. I was purely being light-hearted.. you took it a little too seriously. Jun 30 06 08:04 pm Link i just dont like cheats. simple as really. either way the point is model safety not flirting and sex and getting your kicks. each to their own... but i ased whats safe about females? why do we trust them? are they not just as able to take advantage? Jun 30 06 08:05 pm Link i see the killer thing made you all freak... thats cool. its just a bit like myra hindley its someone people warn their kids about you know. don't talk to strangers not just dont talk to men. that kind of thinking.

Jun 30 06 08:11 pm Link having to go to court to defend mt decision to not sleep with someone because they were threatening to get me sacked. Jun 30 06 08:12 pm Link I'm bi, but I'm married, which means I don't have sex with anyone, at all, period. Ever. Jun 30 06 08:13 pm Link and as so many of you have pointed out its easier for a woman to get away with things then a man. women arent all dolls you know... theyre sometimes coniving and have claws. same as men are sometimes soft as whatever Jun 30 06 08:13 pm Link dissolvegirl wrote: LOL! Jun 30 06 08:14 pm Link i'm asexual. i hate men and women equally. or something like that.

Jun 30 06 08:17 pm Link i think its cute that you girls are secure in your work and stuff but i just wonder about gwc and new models... why do they never worry about a g[irl]wc? you know... people never talk about mean women its as if they dont exist.

Jun 30 06 08:31 pm Link I have no clue why people think they can trust female photographers more but I can tell you that trust extends past all normal boundaries. I have photographed people because they trusted me to make them look good and create a great experence for them, or to record a great experence that was taking place. So yea WE have broken all of the rules concerning models and photographers. I let people know the rules and they say "f**K the rules gimmie my wine" "I don't need no changing room" "BOOBIES" "join in or get out" "we're not wasting good sushi let's eat". It turns into a fun party every time, if I wern't a pervert I could not be happy doing what I do.

Ironically-- and this is in my limited experience; I don't spend a lot of time following the careers of people who decline to shoot with me-- the women who actively give me the "why would a woman want to take pictures of other women, ewww" vibe are the "models" who are in it to actually be drooled over by GWC's.
