Today's Escort Thread
This is why I've decided I no longer mind models who bring escorts to TFP shoots... This was the driver. First time in front of the camera. An absolute natural - I rattled off about 300 frames in about 30 minutes at the end of the 'proper session'.    I told her I want to book her in for an afternoon as soon as she has some spare time... Oct 07 12 11:58 am Link You do know the difference between an escort and a driver, right? Oct 07 12 12:04 pm Link Well I am glad you thought it was productive but I don't think this will change many people's opinion of the subject... Oct 07 12 12:04 pm Link maybe she'll bring a driver or escort with her Oct 07 12 12:06 pm Link Would you have felt the same if the model's "driver" had been a 300 lb male biker with a restraining order and the tattoo "Hulk Smash" across his bicep?

It then transpired after I enquired as to whether the model needed travel-money that she was also the driver.

I keep an open mind on llama herders/drivers/friends coming to shoots. Some of my favorite shoots were because of the husband's excitement with what we were creating.  Oct 07 12 01:30 pm Link Some of my favorite models have been friends that tagged along. The only time I say no is when a model says they're bringing their "manager" or "security". Oct 07 12 03:10 pm Link Wow... she is stunningly hot! Oct 07 12 03:13 pm Link Michael Pandolfo wrote: Eh, ask to get some photos of him on & leaning against his Harley after the actual photoshoot.

Oct 07 12 03:42 pm Link Michael Pandolfo wrote: It's biceps. Oct 07 12 03:52 pm Link Despite your good luck, most objections to escorts still remain. The last time I agreed for a female 'best friend' who's interested in photography to be an escort, the model actually showed up with her mother who spent the entire shoot make faces at her daughter because she claimed it helped relax her. I couldn't do much because the shoot was on location. Another problem with escorts, is that you then have two people who might have complications that cancel the shoot. "My driver/escort/manager" has to appear in court..." etc. I've never had a young female escort cause problems, but boyfriend/managers are the worst, and husbands, mothers and male 'friends' are a 50/50 gamble at best. Oct 07 12 04:03 pm Link  AJScalzitti wrote: +1 Oct 07 12 04:08 pm Link I don't mind escorts coming so long as their's no implied threat or attitude. If there's attitude about it, I just won't do the shoot. Model brought her boyfriend to the last shoot, but he was also a model and helped with the shoot. Entirely depends on the individuals involved. It's too iffy a world these days to not allow escorts if a model wants one. Oct 07 12 04:12 pm Link Whew ! ! For a moment there, I was afraid that there wouldn't be an llama herder thread this week. Thank god someone came to their senses and started one.

I find that things work out much better when I am not shooting with someone who fears me, isn't comfortable with me, or who feels justified in bringing someone to threaten me. Oct 07 12 04:23 pm Link ANOTHER PHOTOGRAPHER'S MODEL'S ESCORT:  Oct 07 12 04:24 pm Link @RKD- just my opinion but I'd say the driver was a bonus! Oct 07 12 04:30 pm Link RKD Photographic wrote: Yes she does but with that bangin' ass she'd look awesome even in a potato sack. Boy did you luck out! Oct 07 12 04:38 pm Link I'm still trying to process the 300 shots in 30 minutes face. That's approximately one shot every six seconds. Other than a wedding or some other type of event, I have hardly ever taken 300 shots in a complete day of shooting. Oct 07 12 04:48 pm Link Last one that was proposed to me was Husband/Manager He was to have say over creative aspects of the shoot like an art director Told model this was totally unacceptable and she quickly backed off her request. I thought maybe its was some kind of wacky test(I've had model tell me they test togs by asking if escort is ok even if they have no intention of bringing one) Needless to say I failed and dropped said couple like a piece of molten lead Oct 07 12 06:40 pm Link AJScalzitti wrote: OP you lucked out on this one but I have to stand tall with AJ on this! Oct 07 12 06:46 pm Link RKD Photographic wrote: Others who come with the model for whatever stated reason are actually hoping to also get to model, which appears to be the case here, especially if she showed up dressed that way. Oct 07 12 06:59 pm Link This shoot was almost 3 years ago. I knew the model was bringing a friend with her, but I didn't know until they arrived that the friend wanted to pose also. You tell me which was the model and which was the friend. mild 18+ http://modelurl.com/allyoursphoto/photo … 45452.aspx http://modelurl.com/allyoursphoto/photo … 45451.aspx Oct 07 12 07:55 pm Link Michael Pandolfo wrote: Better that than the model having a "Crush, Kill, Destroy" tat across hers.
