Be a professional and pretend you don't notice. smile

Focus on the lens, not the dude.  Although you can talk about it as much as you like afterwards.  (Just not while you're there!)  Heheh.

If you have a female photographer who looks as good as you do, give her my email please... I know, this is not a dating site, but I am not trying to date YOU, just my colleague who looks like you or better... bwaahahahahaaaa smile

Udo! As a moderator, you should know better! For shame!

To the original poster, as a fellow moderator, if Udo has upset you with his almost-a-dating-site jokes, please let me know and I will personally console you over dinner at my place. Just as a, um, "professional courtesy" ... Yeah. (ahem)

Well if a model thought I was hot I'd definitely want to hear. It would certainly break the ice and who doesn't like a compliment, especially from a beautiful model? Just don't comment on my boobs smile

lololol no way...i met him in public today to discuss a shoot... i was expecting him to be middle aged nerdy guy with glasses... (which i have no problem with) but he's NOT!!!!!! he looks GOOOOOOOODDDDD and i was blushing while he was talking to me!! eeeeeekkkk!!!




ooops, this was supposed to be outside the box......Am I conceited if I say that this has happened to me? I'm a full time model (#5110), that shoots as well. Half-way through the shoot, she says she cant continue b/c she thinks I'm too good-looking and its distracting her. Seriously, she said that. I'm a pro model, so I just told her to be professional, and we'll get through the shoot. Keep your thoughts in your head, and focus on being sexy without saying anything sexy.

If somebody, boy or girl, is half as good looking or half as hot as the OP he/she should be on the other side of the camera...

OP ever down in Miami? or should I consider going to NY?

offer us a drink after the shoot or call us up later. we're usually single because our girlfriends never trust us. we're good guys though. and we have that oh so important JOB that most good looking guys seem to lack.

seriously. just treat it as any other shoot. for us it's just work. that's all it should be to you.

Amen to that! Welcome to our world. I'd say get a good night's rest. Do some exercise before the shoot. Anything to keep your mind and body focused at the task at hand. The shoot, that is.

Don't forget that you're there to shoot. Make some killer images (hell, even use your attraction if it helps the shot), but save the rest for later.
