There's ahuge difference between the photogrpaher and the model enjoying the work than either of them becoming arroused. It's work to me. When a photographer starts getting too into it, it tends to make me feel uncomfortable and I leave. I take my sexuality to be personal and posting up pictures from shoots is as far as it's going. What do you want the end result of your photos to do? Once the picture is taken what feeling are you expecting that image create?

I know what it's supposed to evoke, but that doesn't mean I'm going to go around saying shooting it made me arroused. That's personal and unprofessional to go around saying.

I can understand your view point about not wanting to say it publicly, but if it does, and you would just rather not say, thats fine, but don't say its unprofessional for other people to speak their mind.

I see it this way: Two beautiful, qualified girls walk into a job interview. One says she's arroused, the other does not. If the employer is a male, who is he going to favor?
So many people make the argument about escorts saying "It's not professional to bring your boyfriend to your job interview, so why would you bring him to a shoot?" Why does this change when it comes to discussing sexuality? You wouldn't say that to your employer, why would it be okay at a shoot?
It's just my opinion, and I don't appreciate being slammed for seeing the unprofessionalism. A photographer made a mock thread of this and got slammed for saying he was arroused. Why's it so different for the model? I see modeling as my job. It's a job I enjoy, but it's still my job.

I really do see your point, if it was a regular type job. But if the job is to create titillating photos, and the model is really getting into it, I see no problem with it. Everything can still remain on a "professional level" as in the photog isn't going to jump the models bones, and vice versa.

It amazes me to see how many people see being" turned on" as only having a sexual meaning.

And if you are reffering to me slamming you, I don't see where I did.

Yes you can keep it professional and do those types of shoots. But their are all sorts of personalities out there, some more liberal then others, it takes all kinds to make the world go 'round. My point was, if she can enjoy it that much, then good for her, its really not hurting anyone, and she is not screwing the photogs, she goes home and takes it out on her poor, over worked hubby.

Gawd, don't i wish! I'd cancel my AARP membership if it did!
Actually, I'm so concerned about getting the shot i want that when I do,
I get excited as hell, mentally and emotionally but not physically.
Usually by the time the shoot is over, both the model and I, and the MUA and my assistant are too tired to tango... I just want them to leave and let me chill down.
But, 35 years ago, shooting wet tshirt contests and posters and calendars and having some Columbian "inspiration" ie and some cheetos.......... well, now, that didn't count.

For some reason photoshoots turn me on like crazy. Sometimes I don't really realize it until I'm driving home, but almost always my husband gets mauled when I get home from a shoot. Does this happen with anyone else? You can expect your plane ticket to arrive momentarily. More models ought to include this information in their profile.

I have fun shooting, lots of fun actually--ask anyone I've shot with. I just don't think it's professional to say that you get turned on by a shoot. It's just my opinion.

Shooting turns me on like a picasso turns me on.
although sometimes its just work,
but when the flow is right, the world stops,
and these wonderful moments just begin to appear.
i think the japenese printmakers called
it "floating world" ukiyo-e
i like it there.

Models are overly sexualized as it is; why exacerbate the situation?
If you were at a meeting trying to sell...let's say duck lips that gynecologists use and you got a woodie, you wouldn't announce it to the entire staff.

From a professional stand-point if I'm doing a shoot that is meant to "turn people on" it had better work on me first. Not to the point where I'm a drooling idiot fumbling with my epuipment but where the look and the feel of the image (model, lighting, pose, the whole shabang) "flips my switch" so to speak.
