After being group drugged and raped I just cannot see "everything worked out okay" as an acceptable answer in any way.

A photographer once told me about his strong belief in other worlds and that we, as Earthlings, are being watched by a higher society of peaceful, yet intelligent, martians.

Maybe he meant the NSA ..

I'm curious as to what to do when a photographer gets a little too touchy-feely/personal/intimate. It's weird because they do great work, have great references, and previously it's all professional. But then things get, well, weird. They'd want more. They'd start "posing" me in ways that feel off. Ask odd questions, etc. I love the work they do and don't want to have my reputation potentially shot by saying anything, especially publicly since they are well known.

I can't tell you what you should do, beyond "tell the photographer to stop it", but this is a conversation I have with every model when she arrives, as part of setting up for the shoot. My approach is to touch as little as possible, never the core (torso, thighs), only approach from the front, make sure the model understands that I'm going to make contact, and by all that's holy, if you don't want me to do any of that, say so up front or before you start to get really uncomfortable. I don't promise up front to never make contact because I'm usually working alone, and there are sometimes situations where it's just not practical. (If the model has said "don't do it", then obviously we move on and try something else when we reach that point. Oh, well, c'est la vie and all that...)

And here's an all out bad experience I had years ago (Trigger warning-):

When I was in college I worked as a gogo dancer. The club booked a shoot with the dancers to use for ads and their website. The photog was a little creepy and decided to pick me and a couple other models for "Special" photos after he did the ones the club wanted. He gave us drinks which turned out to be spiked with roofies. We blacked out and found out later he took pictures of him raping us and sent those images to rape-themed porn sites. I got in trouble with my college and the club got in trouble. Things eventually got straightened out and the club sued the hell out of the guy. But it was awful.  The club was very legit and professional and the owner felt like crap because they had no idea. The photographer did work for many businesses and came off as highly professional with a great portfolio and everything.

If this went down like you say, this guy needed to be prosecuted and sent to jail.

And finally, is it okay to warn other models about photographers you had weird or even bad experiences with or let them go on ahead and see what happens?

I believe you should warn others, yes, but MM doesn't make that easy, and lot of people will say even a "don't recommend" list is going too far.
