    Default quick question about modelling

    i did a little bit of modelling a few years ago, and then just sort of dropped it (i'm really not sure why, because i really enjoyed it)...

    i recently replied to an ad for a TFP shoot with a local photographer, who absolutely refused when i asked if i could bring a male friend to the shoot for my own peace of mind (and also because i don't drive)...is this normal, or was i right to be concerned and cancel?

    any tips on finding non-creepy photographers would also be appreciated

    I know that a lot of models consider it a warning sign. However, I also know of some good, decent photographers who don't like other people around.

    It doesn't really need to matter. If your comfort level includes bringing someone along, then you and this photographer shouldn't work together. On to the next. There are plenty of photographers out there who do TFP who won't mind if you bring someone along.

    Listen to your gut instict. Personally, any photog that tells me he absolutely does not allow escorts...I will decline. I learned that lesson once and was lucky to get out.

    Just put your profile on OMP..you'll get plenty of TFP offers that will not have a problem with an escort.

    Make sure though that who you bring stays invisible unless needed. An escort who bugs the photog will not be good.

    I've had photogs refuse to allow an escort. One reason is they think you will be to shy to work well around your boyfriend. They are worried the byfriend will get upset, you will get distracted.

    If he refuses an escort ask for 5 references from other models he has worked with. Check them and ask thoes girls how he was to work with.

    Since you need a ride anyway, tell photog. someone will be dropping you off, and he is comming in just to make sure everything looks ok and checks out then he will leave.

    But go with your gut, if you feel it isnt right, don't do it.

    also..you can tel a lot about a guy from his pictures. What kind of feeling do you get from them?

    I can see why it could be a red flag, but many women keep lookng off at their guy for approval while shooting... I usually suggest bringing a female friend (or two). I ask them to stay behind me, so any glances towards them are also to the camera. Lots of times girl friends can help them give up their best expressions better than any guy can.

    Why does escort = BF ???? I would never work with a Photog for free who is refusing anything ......duh .

    If you take an escort it covers their ass too .....when was the last time as a women you went to a Male Dr and was alone is the room with him ??? No a days everyone covers their ass , you did the right thing honey , screw him . Remember that LA Raiders cheerleader that they found in shallow grave , she didn't take someone with her and this guy had references too .........

    ^^ That is so scary. Did LA have the Raiders at one point? Or was she from LA?

    I think you should be allowed to bring a friend male or female as long as they stay behind the scenes and let the shoot go as planned. I always got a big red flag when a photographer said no one to come not even a female friend. You did the right thing.... go find a new TFP shoot.

    Who is it Scarlet? I know most of the photogs in Toronto... and most of them allow someone with you. I would be a little bit iffy about not allowing a friend with you, speshly for a TFP.

    A “No Boyfriend’ policy is very common on paid assignments. They tend to get jealous, cause problems or just slow things down and time is money.
    But...
    The other side of the coin is your trading services and no money is involved so be sure to say you will have a companion at the get-go . If it’s a deal breaker then it is your call. Photogs are all over, you’ll find another that will allow your man to hang. It’s really what you want.

    *nods* i don't even care if he's not in the room...i just want to know that he's around...i've also got some mild social anxiety issues, which i'm sure doesn't help matters any...

    Its kind of a double sided thing. The photographer may have had problems with girls bringing their boyfriends in the past - jealousy, nervousness, interruptions, ect. However, he could be a creep on the other hand and a male being around might stifle his creepiness. lol.

    I suggest explaining to him that this guy is not a boyfriend, will not cause any trouble or interruptions, and will merely be there for a safety issue. That is completely understandable and if he doesnt, hes not ok to work with.

    good luck!
