Does TFP really stand 4 Time For Pu**y???
I'm not feeling how earlier, some of the first responses by people involved she must have been shooting with a pervert with a digital. Granted digital cameras make it easier for people to just say they are a photographers and see women naked, but there are people out there who shoot digital and not about that. I'm pretty sure before the creation of digital where was just as many film photographers who did the same thing using that to get women, so don't put the spotlight and make it seem like if you shooting with a digital photographer that's what you can expect I'm fairly new to photography by most people scales, and i shoot in all digital, all the time. I however can stand by my record any model i've shot I have never ask for sex, made an gesture, remark, or suggestion that would make an model feel uncomfortable. Shoot by nature i don't try to even shoot anything remotely of the nude nature. I'm just not into that kind of photography. But ask any model i've worked with and i stand by my record, and i'm a digital photographer. Let's not assume a digital photographer equates perverts or GWCs. It's GWCs not GWDCs so Guy With Camera can be either Film or Digital.

Aug 29 05 04:42 pm Link Kinel, Given the wide array of responses your thread has received, do you think your question has been answered to your liking? What do you think now? (LOL, that think word again hehhehe) Aug 29 05 04:52 pm Link Zach Watkins wrote: I could be wrong, but I'm thinking she might be referring to attitude. Aug 29 05 05:00 pm Link Two things: 1. I purchased a hidden video detector for my wife at a cost of about $35.00. You should get one. and 2. Always put your finger to the mirror anywhere you are changing. If you see a gap between your finger and the reflection, then it is a real mirror. If the reflection "touches" your finger, it is a two way mirror.

Maybe unapproachable is the best word I can come up with, but it doesn't sound right to me...but maybe somethign along those lines. Perhaps if some other female models could comment? Aug 29 05 06:13 pm Link again. this thread is so icky, it should be dead. euewwwwwwww at this thread.

Aug 29 05 07:24 pm Link You should stop shooting with the 'America's most wanted' guys ... Aug 29 05 07:35 pm Link Kinel, You have men and you have pigs. Men are there to work together with the model to create. Pigs are there for something else. Unfortunately, pigs do know how to use photographic equipment. TFP/TFCD is a very handy way for everyone to get what they need - photos. I have a print portfolio that I bring with me to my shoots so there's proof of the kind of work I do as well as the websites.

Aug 29 05 07:59 pm Link I've worked with some photographers who didn't ask for sex but would tell me they are getting turned on ... But then again what photographer dosn't get turned on when they are looking at a beautiful model? Answer that one.

(he or she) Aug 30 05 10:26 pm Link Well i have talked to alot of photographers and it seems most think it is normal to get turned on (not saying its a bad thing) but they basically ay it's what you do after you are "turned on" that makes you unprofessional or not Aug 30 05 11:22 pm Link I'm sorry I got around to reading through this thread so late . . . . Kinel: ditch the pictures. All of them. Start over with a head shot. I think you also have a full-length snap shot of you casually (fully) dressed and that may be helpful until you can replace it (on the first chance you get). Babydoll and buns-up poses plus scene / setting / implied context send a message, and through your pictures you may have unwittingly signaled the photographer to play you, which neither faults you at 18 nor excuses the shooter. As it's something you can fix today, fix it. If you can get to Laurel, I have an hour for you for head shots and casuals just to get you going. Probably, by height and figure, you're going to get glamour, implied nude, and nude offers but you need not invite nor endure ambush a second time. I got a kick out of the comments on "old guys", especially from that young whippersnapper, by golly, by gumbo. Lol! Aug 30 05 11:45 pm Link Kinel wrote: Yeah, right. It's not normal. You're talking to perverts with cameras. Aug 30 05 11:50 pm Link Marvin Dockery wrote: I don't think this is a good analogy. Why? Cause a patient is rarely attempting to be sexy during an exam. She's not putting her finger in her mouth. She's not throwing her hair back. She's not tugging at the side of her panties and giving you a look of "Come get me" Aug 30 05 11:51 pm Link Hi Kinel, I'm a mua out of Alexandria, VA. I have to say that you have to take the next step and report that scumbag, and fuck off your manager. If he really cared enough about your carreer he wouldnt get you involved with that project. To be completley honest, the images I saw from the link, are not the best, rather cheesball, and ghetto. If you want to shoot with some really good professional photographers contact me.

Sep 01 05 07:53 am Link Zach Watkins wrote: People have bad attitudes no matter where they grow up. next excuse please. Sep 01 05 08:01 am Link This sort of stuff always makes me shudder. I never work with models alone. I always have at least one female assistant (at one point when I was working with a [gay] male makepup artist I always made sure to have a female assistant as well) so I won't have to have any unnecessary physical contact with the models. I always encourage them to bring an escort. I don't want there to ever even be the APPEARANCE of impropriety. This business isn't that big & I wouldn't want people talking badly about me. I've had business disputes with some models who might give me bad references on account of it, but even then no one would veer accuse me of anythign like this. As for becoming visibly aroused, I am generally FAR too focused on my work for it to be an issue...in response to comments some have made, I should be able to shoot photos that might make someone else hot without having to be "hot" myself, it's called being a professional. Being male & physical responses being what they are, I wont' say there is never an unintentional physical "response" but I certainly always dress in such a way that it wouldn't be noticeable and would never bring it up. When I see stuff like this it just makes me sick tho, becuase it tars those of us who're looking to work legitimately, especially if we work with nudity in any respect, no matter how artfully. A few models who get burned by perverts make us all look bad. Sep 01 05 08:27 am Link Dax wrote: Me too.....glad you're not a girl, that is Sep 01 05 08:36 am Link Lora wrote: I agree.

I KNOW that there ARE those that do that and worse stuff...my suggestion is to CHECK before you shoot with someone...check their portfolio and ASK the models listed there or the MUA's listed and GET A REFERENCE on the photographer...photogs that pull that crap should be SHOT!...just my 2 cents ...but, that pisses me off....sorry, soapbox time...lol...done for now....Ralph Haseltine Sep 01 05 04:38 pm Link Tommy McI wrote: professional photogs may use their power and connections with stuff in the industry to get what they want. girls are afraid that if they report them, they will get blacklisted from whatever magazines the photographer shoots in Sep 01 05 09:23 pm Link Josie Nutter wrote: just because a photog behaves well with other models doesnt m ean he is going to behave well with you Sep 01 05 09:26 pm Link Stuff like this happens more than most of us know. Why don't the victims report it? Easy... fear, embarrassment, the âhis word against mineâ thing, and as 'bebewood' said... getting blacklisted or bad mouthed to others. Reporting a crime like this can be VERY time consuming as well as emotionally draining/disturbing. I'm sorry for your ordeal Kinel... I hope things will be different from now on... no model deserves to be treated like that. Just remember you can always say, "You are making me feel extremely uncomfortable..." And walk away.
