Escort Better Looking than Model
When asked I always tell new models that its ok to bring a friend along for their first shoot with me if they wish.... Iive had couple of situations though where the friend has been equally beautiful and photographable as the model and Ive shot both - with everyone enjoying themseelves and benifitting .. Just wondering how I would handle it if someday - the friend turns out to have more potential ( without hurting anyones feelings ) Sep 15 06 12:46 pm Link Tie up the model while you take pictures of her escort? Sep 15 06 12:47 pm Link Quietly pull her aside and pee on her. This will mark her as your territory. Sep 15 06 12:51 pm Link Take pictures of the really hot escort and the model and just use what is beneficial to your portfolio. Sep 15 06 12:51 pm Link Offer to shoot both of 'em, then tell the "model" to keep moving to her left. Keep moving her to her left until she's out of the frame. I keep my escort chipper on the right side of the studio anyway, so if I keep moving her to her left far enough, the problem will take care of itself. Sep 15 06 12:54 pm Link Ask the escort if she wants photos too? No peeing required...or "Move left" trickery... I gotta get off of model mayhem this is craziness Sep 15 06 12:56 pm Link See if you can arrange to get her back on her own. After all, she has seen you work, and should be comfortable with the idea. At least get a name address and phone - you can almost pull that off by 'recording' the name etc. of your model's 'escort' to the shoot. Then call her later. This way, your model won't feel put down. Handle it right - the model will be proud of giving an opportunity to a friend. I've been in this sorta situation a couple times, and it worked out ok. Sep 15 06 12:58 pm Link I had a shoot where a shy model who wanted nudes of her tattoos was having trouble working up to it. Her better looking escort just took off her clothes and said, "Look, i'll even go first." Problem kind of solved itself. Sep 15 06 01:03 pm Link LarryB wrote: LOL! Great!

Just refuse to take anything seriously and you'll be much happier! Sep 15 06 01:08 pm Link I pay attention to the model I have and at the end when we are chatting simply ask the other to shoot sometime. They always say yes after seeing how much fun it is and the images that come from the shoot and your model is happy because she just had a great time and was the focus of your attention. Sep 15 06 01:08 pm Link You know that is what I think EVERY time I meet a photogropher for the first time; That if I recognize him first, walk up and say: "Hi, are John, the photogropher?" and he'd be like: "Yes, I am. Are you a friend of a model I am meeting?" Sep 15 06 01:08 pm Link I had to shoot a H.S. senior one time and he showed up with his girlfriend who was totally hot. After I shot the paid session, I was up front and honest about wanting to photograph the girl friend by herself. They were cool with it and I continued to shoot images of her. Sep 15 06 01:12 pm Link Hand the model a reflector. LOL (Or put her in the chipper. Not my style, though.) Sep 15 06 01:18 pm Link LarryB wrote: Moved it to the hallway, eh?

The presumed agreement is not "I am completely willing to shoot you, provided you refrain from bringing someone more attractive, at which point our previous arrangement will be considered null and void and I shall commence to shoot the person you brought along forthwith and posthaste..." and soforth...
