boyfriends and photoshoots!
I was just wondering what everyone's perception is on boyfriends coming to photoshoots??? good or bad? Nov 09 06 07:46 am Link A: There have been many threads on this topic. B: It would depend on the personality type of the boyfriend. Nov 09 06 07:48 am Link thanks, so it really doesn't bother most photographers? Nov 09 06 07:50 am Link Kelli Charmae wrote: I didn't say that. What I said was it depends on the personality type of the boyfriend in a lot of cases. If the BF is the jealous "in your face' type he'd probably be a lot less welcome than one who is more likely to just sit in the waiting room and read.

The last time I worked with a model who brought her boyfriend at one point early in the shoot he was watching as we were shooting on some playground equipment and made the comment under his breath...but loud enough for us to hear "this is stupid". So much for support, it clouded the entire shoot, at that moment the mood changed and never recovered. I now refuse shoots that include a boyfriend anywhere in the vicinity.

Some photogs are fine with any escort. Some go so far as to tell models to always take an escort to any shoot, regardles what type of shoot it is or who the photographer is. Some don't mind an escort, but won't allow a boyfriend or "significant other" because boyfriends have a way of turning jealous and ruining shoots (or punching the photog in the face for saying the model looks "hot"). Some photogs don't like escorts at all. They think the model should check references and not attend a shoot where she feels uncomfortable. They take the position that they have a reputation to protect and are therefore less likely to be an ax-murderer with a camera. Whatever you want is fine. Just realize that if you feel you must have your boyfriend with you there are some photogs who won't work with you. Photogs who don't allow escorts understand that there are some models they won't be able to work with either. Nov 09 06 07:59 am Link The best answer I can give you is that you know your bf if he's the kind that will get in the way or not be supportive of you (ie say 'this is so stupid'during the shoot) don't bring him. Also, ask the photographer what he/she would prefer, if they prefer bf's stay home don't bring him. Nov 09 06 08:00 am Link When will these escort threads end???????????????????????????????????????

Nov 09 06 08:10 am Link Mark Reese Photography wrote: lol, no he hasn't thought like that but I don't want him too, he probably won't though! but if he does I will just tell him he needs to get rid of his trust issues, : ) Nov 09 06 08:13 am Link dang apparently it wasn't a band thread, it got much more love than my first thread.... Brand new 2006 model : )~ Nov 09 06 08:15 am Link Kelli Charmae wrote: oops mis-spelled again Bad instead of band ha ha lol Nov 09 06 08:16 am Link Kelli Charmae wrote: Like everything else -- it depends. I've had boyfriends come along who were great cheerleaders and helped bring out the best in a model. I've also had boyfriends who completely destroyed the shoot. And pretty much everything in between. Nov 09 06 08:19 am Link I would recommend a girlfriend to go to the photo sessions with you. They are more supportive. But if you need/want him or he wants to go to the photo session and he starts to complain or gets jealous. Then it is time to show him the front door and say good-bye. Besides who is getting paid for the job?

Nov 09 06 08:22 am Link Edwardv wrote: yea I think that might be a better idea, I will just bring a friend and maybe he won't mention anything about coming along : ) Nov 09 06 08:24 am Link If Pat is your boyfriend. I would say, "no, but hell no." Nov 09 06 08:25 am Link LHC Photography wrote: lol yea that is true too... although we have been together long enough for us to know that one... atleast I thought so...lol Nov 09 06 08:28 am Link Edwardv wrote: what? explain Nov 09 06 08:29 am Link Kelli Charmae wrote: My first impression about him is his appearance/eyes even though he is in a photograph. I have met a lot of model's boyfriends and I have be able to know who were supportive and the ones who weren't. And looking at him doesn't seem right. Then I could be very wrong. It is your call, take a girlfriend to the photo session.
