Photographer sleeping with Models...
StephenEastwood wrote: office romance can be very costly to the bottom line once you breakup.....i try to avoid it as much as possible.....but sometimes shit happens... Dec 15 06 08:56 am Link All through high school, I was in marching band, and coincidentally, almost all the guys I dated in high school were marching band guys. It's inevitable that if you spend a lot of time doing any one thing, you'll meet a lot of people who are involved in that same thing, and odds are, there will be some that you meet that you're compatible with on a romantic level. It doesn't make you unprofessional...it makes you human. We have desires. If two people happen to be model and photographer and decide to sleep with each other, why is that anyone's business but their own. One of my best relationships was with a photographer in Minnesota who initially contacted me on Deviantart solely to tell me he liked my look. I admired his work, and I decided to talk to him some more. We ended up dating, and yes...we had sex...but the shots he took of me are some of the most popular shots I have. If you're not raping your models or shooting them just to get them in bed with you, why should it matter if you sleep with someone you care about and are attracted to just because she's a model?

There's a difference between sleeping with people to get to the top and sleeping with someone because you care about them. Their profession shouldn't matter in matters of the heart, should it? Dec 15 06 09:21 am Link yo, I dont sleep with my models because if it doesnt work out you will alwas have there pics around you....especially if its good work...youre not going to dump the image, so you are stuck with her forever...plus they stop paying after sex!

Doesn't matter , it takes two.Not a good idea until job is done and it's over.Biz and romance is made for trouble!!!!! Be scared very scared!!! jh Dec 15 06 12:40 pm Link I'd say as long as you're getting some ass it shouldn't matter who you are getting it from... That being said... I'm damn near engaged so don't plan on getting any from me. Dec 15 06 12:43 pm Link Brandy wrote:

He had taken that bathtub pic (my former avatar with back facing the cam & face not showing) at a hotel we were in.

If it were I would have them replaced with a new better looking model. (Thats a Joke!)

Dec 16 06 10:31 am Link Bruce Millich wrote: nice:) Dec 16 06 11:14 am Link I don't look for it nor do I questioned it. I'm not saying that I wouldn't get involved with a model, but that's not what I'm there to do when we shoot, but if the situation is cool and we are both down for it, then I'm not going to bug out on it and turn it down. Friendship relationship can be more valuable and can take you alot further. I think that these forums bring out alot of paranoia. Yes, you do have to be wise about who yiou are getting involved with, especially when it's time to take care of business. Sometimes screwing a model that looks fine may not be worth paying the price. Sometimes people can be bitter and will spread things about you if things don't turn out right. There is alot of temptation out here, they come with different intentions. Some are sincere and others aren't. Dec 16 06 11:33 am Link Tikeya wrote: friggin lucky photog!! Dec 16 06 11:34 am Link sdsteve wrote: Funny. That's what I heard too. Seeing that I don't fit that description at all. Someone thought that I was a old white guy. Go figure. Nope, I'm young tall and slim. Dec 16 06 11:38 am Link Yeah....but I only stopped at my first photographer, and we have been together for about three years  And we do mix business with pleasure and we shoot together to this day. Take a look at my portfolio. My first three photos were taken last week by him. Such a dynamic duo we are.Dec 16 06 12:33 pm Link 1.) Why is this a problem? 2.) Why is this anyones business other than the 2 adults who consented? Dec 16 06 01:16 pm Link Leond wrote: ...99%. Dec 16 06 01:21 pm Link There is nothing wrong with meeting in the workplace.....I met my wife in the workplace (not photography/model).....who cares if 2 people want have sex with eachother Dec 16 06 01:24 pm Link Yes, I have to admit that models do sleep with me at times. I accept it, but I still think it's rude. Especially true when we have to drive to a location for a shoot. It makes for a very boring trip when they nod off soon after we get on the road and I have no one to talk to but myself. Maybe I'm just very boring...LOL Dec 16 06 01:37 pm Link KiKi Williams wrote: Hmmm.. so if Arnie F. (noted Playboy photog.) slept with some of the Playmates, he'd be "unprofessional" simply because of what he might do before or after the photoshoot with another a consenting adult? .. even though his photography is arguably top rate? Dec 16 06 01:45 pm Link Oh, it looks like you were asking about SEX. Ohhhh. O.K. It's none of your business one way or the other. Or were you like the alter boy who was walking by the church with his friend? He told his friend he had to go to confession for a few minutes, but to wait outside for him and he'd be right back. In the confessional he told the old Priest that he had sinned and had sex with a girl. The old Priest asked the young man who with, and the young lad would not tell. The priest persisted asking if it was Mary Beth? Sue Ann? Linda Lou?....the young man would not tell. Finally, the priest absolved him and gave him penance to do in the form of prayers and Hail Mary's. Meeting up with his friend outside, his pal asked him how it went? The young lad to him, "Not too bad...I have to say prayers and Hail Marys...but I got three new prospects out of the deal!" Have you found any new prospects LOL....oh, sorry, I mean for your "friend". Dec 16 06 02:07 pm Link i did ONCE and i married him  Dec 16 06 02:55 pm Link Hmmmm Dreampretty 6 years and goin strong!!
