Your posts are great

I understand the idea of knowing what a model looks like before photographing her. I just like calling out guys who take photos with their penises.

God bless you, then, because you'll leave a ton of paid gigs on the table for other models.

Pretty much every model I know who has or currently does make a living from modeling loves GWCs.  Yeah, their lower brains are making the choices on whom to shoot- and they pay good rates to take pictures (good or otherwise) of girls the Little Man finds attractive.  I don't know or care what they do with those images after I leave their presence.  If they produce a release, great, I sign it, because I was paid to show up, work just as hard as I would for a Vogue shoot (yes, that is an analogy, I know that I will shoot for Vogue the day pigs dance the can-can down Fifth Avenue), be polite and professional, and leave when they had the shots they were happy with.  If they make giant pop art posters and sell them for millions on Etsy, awesome.  If all they do is post them on MM and occasionally give their pickle a buffing while looking at them, awesome.  As long as they don't try to get ME to see/touch/hear about their pickle and it's activities- God bless them.  (And for the record, out of hundreds of shoots, very few have made inappropriate offers or tried to touch me inappropriately.  The most egregious offense ever committed against me was at a group shoot, with 20 other models and photographers present.)

I never said I wouldn't work with a GWC. I do all the time. Like you said, they make up a good deal of the paying gigs found on MM. Nor did I ever accuse GWC's of being inherently impolite or otherwise treacherous to work with.

There are plenty of photographers on MM who do not fall under the category of "GWC" who still only shoot llamas that they find sexually attractive, which is why male llamas, even outside of the GWC realm still have a hard time finding work. This is what I was refering to in my post.

OBVIOUSLY I need to reword this question.

1) How do I guarantee my safety while doing nude shoots in private places without an escort?

Escorts raise the propencity for the downfall of a successfull shoot - and occasionally end in violent attacks on the photographer. Trust me

2) Can I just put up some nude photos of myself so that the photographer can see my body so I don't have to let them take their own pictures of me that they could keep without my permission?


Once again, can i please have some honest answers. Please keep your sarcasm and insults to yourself.

I don't understand #2. You're being hired, but the photographer won't have your permission to take any/some photos of you?

That's how you make money freelancing on the internet...GWC's.
