And what keeps the photographer from doing the same thing?

I suppose the ultimate answer is to use a fighting cage like on Ultimate Fighting, no holds barred martial arts - winner by KO or tap out.
Model and photographer enter the arena and the victor gets to either shoot or run away

Or, my personal favorite because of it's special blend of savagery and comedy: Bricks and Blindfolds in the parking lot!!

Why be surprised?  There are lots of paternalistic, patronizing photographers.

I was wrong - the ultimate defense would be a proximity collar worn by the photographer - he gets too close and boom, his head blows off (saw this in a movie, but cant remember which one )

[1] No SHOUTING (Posting in all capital letters) Especially in thread titles. It's hard to read and just plain rude and annoying.

Best excuse you'll ever get for patting down, or even strip searching if you feel it necessary , every model on arrival to the shoot.

Yea, no shouting - it may wake me up...

I just had a big sign made for my studio that says "Escorts Welcome - Warning Guard Cats on Patrol.  Please check your handguns, stun guns, brass knuckles, mace, and other weapons at the door."

Hence, when a model from MM gets a shoot offer from a photographer on MM, who's to say he/she is a completely reliable member of the business?
...

It all has to be taken in context.

The last sentence of your post answers your own question.

In context means:
- you choose to work only with photographers who have good portfolios that obviously show a body of work which means their photos are not just oneoffs or stolen from multiple real photographers.
- you talk to model references of the photographer, not that the photographer gave you a list of friends to talk to, but click links of models s/he knows and send them emails.
- you look at his/her web site and see if they're a photographer or not.

I all has to be taken in context.  If you're that concerned about your safety then only work with real photographers

my solution would be for models to stop doing B/S photoshoots with B/S photographers

(i.e. one on one TFPs)

how about one on one paid sex sessions with an escort?

I just developed a new policy.  For every thug the model wants to bring, I get to have 2 larger thugs to protect me from Gina Lee's thug.  If we work hard enough, we can have so many people standing around the shooting area eyeing each other that nobody will be able to get anything done!

lol true true

Just noticed the new ads running on the home page here for self defense and mace / stun guns.

Sounds like the perfect answer to the chronic problem of escorts.
All models need do is enroll in a self defence course or two, and while they're earning their black belt (those spinning reverse axe kicks to the head do take time to learn, you know), carry mace or better yet, a stun gun / taser to a photo session.

Nasty photographer makes unseemly advance, (or even look rapes) and whoosh - photographer gets face full of mace, or 50,000 volts into his body leaving him writhing on the studio floor while the model makes her escape.

Sounds like a plan

I thought it should be repeated once cause it seemed a bit oddddd.

So all my shots now will have the little mace bottle in the clutches of the models bound hands,  and a string in my direction if she hs a blindfold on so that she can know where to point it.

Sorry,  enough of this foooooolishness.

Let em all learn jujitsu and perhaps learn how to do some phone reference research.

thanks to all my models who have come and allowed me to shoot without concern for whether the sound in the background meant that they might be thrown into the chipper.
