We are usually far enough into the shoot that it is clear we have a professional relationship going, and quite often they ask me to do it for them...essentially do what I need to do to get the image I'm after.

WTF? Are you for real?

When you say we, you mean you could not shoot anymore?

lol. I've been married for longer than most models on this site have been alive, so I've kinda "seen it all":

"Let's take a short break!"
(hands model box of tampons, scissors, if needed a towel and directions to the shower)
"Great! All freshened up? Let's get back to work, then."

Hmm, you omitted to tell us that little detail in the OP. It seemed at first that you were unhappy with her been aroused, not that she became very uncomfortable.

First of all, thank you folks for your comments - I found several very useful ones. I do understand that for many this is just a " fun" thread  - I am glad you had a good time laughing...

Back to the thread,  I said that the model was alternative, with interesting tattoos everywhere. Thirty minutes after we start shooting  I noticed white milky stuff coming out. I politely asked model to wipe it, but she got very embarrassed.  I suspect she did not know it was coming uot. Once we resumed shooting, model became  nervous, her skin turned red, breath became shallow. In 5 minutes white stuff appeared again, and she asked me to cancel the rest of the shoot. I did and  I paid her as we agreed. Maybe the model had some issues or maybe I was not polite enough?

Mario, you have to admit that the whole scenario is a little, umm, humorous.

As for what happened, I wasn't there, so I won't speculate as to why this particular model may have had a heavier discharge at this particular time. I'll just say (again) that some discharge is normal in any woman between puberty and menopause, that the overall amount varies from woman to woman, and that it can vary (consistency, amount, cloudiness) based on where she is in her monthly cycle, what she's been doing, etc. This is something that you should have been aware of, given the type of material you were shooting. If it surprised you and you didn't react well, I could see things spiraling out of control, which could be pretty upsetting for everyone involved.

He didn't make MY day with them.  Not one little bit.  Posts like that take up bandwidth, and nothing further, in my opinion.

I do mostly nudes...and it happens with about 25% of them.  Even though they might self-lubricate...it doesn't mean it is a reaction to you the photographer.  I'm older and overweight...so I can say that it happens as a natural thing.

Are you implying that it's all about the size of the lens and not how you use it?!?!?!

If it is white, it will simply be vaginal discharge:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaginal_discharge
Which is something that happens to women.  I have indeed had it appear suddenly (you have absolutely no control over it, your body just releases it.  There are not external factors other than your 'cycle') on a shoot, and yes, it's pretty embarrassing.  My fellow model friend once recounted, how she was doing an art nude shoot and suddenly it trickled down her leg and she was so ashamed she said she was uncomfortable for the rest of the shoot.

Anyway, I don't know what age your model was, but nowadays, if it happens, I just smile, sigh, and excuse myself to the bathroom.  Most seasoned pro photographers - of either sex - who shoot nude/adult, tend to be aware of these various 'hazards of the job'.  Certainly nothing to write home about!  If your model was young, chances are she was absolutely mortified!  If you carry on doing this type of shoot, I would get used to it or start photographing mannequins! Plus, as already mentioned, wait til a model gets her period!

If she's anything like me, when I am stressed or embarrassed my I get very flushed looking (red rash usually right across my chest), and as for shallow breathing - nervousness, anxiety and panic all do that to people.

OMG That happened to me a couple of times at an outdoor nude shoot (what else), I was pretty novice in the spiel, and I was mortified.
I was standing in the middle of an 8-achre private property, bathroom a half mile back at the house and my sundress.. somewhere in the grass.
I had no choice but 'pose' down in the grass and clean up with my hand and leaves as best I could. (It's good not to be a germophobe sometimes) . Nobody noticed a thing (stealth!).


Now I either know what my body is gonna be up to on that day, and I can warn the photographer or if it happens and stuff just happens I'm more like "woops, lady garden doing it's own thing again, s'cuse me a minute. "

I think it is more than you've noticed. 

If the fluid is clear it usually isn't much of a problem.  Those with a milky discharge are the ones that I'm VERY POLITE about explaining my problem and ask if they could take a break and clean up.  I certainly NEVER ask if I can clean things up...but since everything to that point in the shoot has been all business...a few have responded matter-of-fact that they can't see "down there"...and just ask me to do it.

I don't understand the reaction here?  How is that any different than a photographer that bodypaints a model's buttocks, breast, and vaginal areas?

Seriously a girl doesn't know how to wipe herself what the hell does she do when she takes a dump does she need help wiping that too.
