my photoshoot policy - photographer safety
Okay I changed my policy. I now demand that no escorts allowed and the models must have at least 3 alcoholic beverages prior to shoot and one drink at the shoot supplied by me. Cosby approved method !! Nov 20 15 11:13 pm Link Have many false allegations have been made against you ? Nov 20 15 11:16 pm Link I'm assuming OP has been doing this   Yeah ok Nice pics of Shelby mate. Nov 20 15 11:26 pm Link I'd be fine with this - as long as I get to add an addendum to the model release saying that nothing from the GoPro is published. Otherwise, carry on. On a more serious note, there are photographers who get taken advantage of, and I think people should be more aware of that. People will contact them and then steal everything once they show up. Or, a model will contact them for a meet and greet only to have a partner rob their vehicle. Photographers need to be guarded as well. There is legitimately terrible stuff that happens to them as well. Nov 20 15 11:29 pm Link I have had no false allegations made against me. I've been alone shooting many nude models. Sometimes multiple nude models. Nov 21 15 12:55 am Link The GoPro sounds fun, I'm glad it's working for you. Do you think they'd go for me in a Hazmat suit and several off duty police officers attending as witnesses? Never can be too safe.

If they don't have a real MM profile I will ignore them. I've had offers that nude models around a pool would be mine to photograph and all I had to do was show up at a certain address. I had one guy that sounded like he was from India promises me endless models to do a shoot in a garage in downtown Miami. He kept calling for months. Yet when I mention MM or OMP and they have no idea of what I mean I know it is not for real. Nov 21 15 05:07 am Link hapiemedia wrote: I think you're being paranoid and silly. That GoPro stipulation may be a hurdle for some models, but I'm not going to tell you how to conduct your business. I've had about 1000 shoots with probably 700 or so individuals over the last 12 years, and I haven't had a single situation where video "evidence" would have been necessary or useful. Nov 21 15 05:14 am Link ASmallWoman wrote: What the hell? Seriously? Nov 21 15 05:20 am Link I'd probably never agree to shoot trade with someone who felt the need to wear a camera. Maybe if they paid me really well. I'd assume that they were jaded and difficult to work with, and not likely worth my time for anything except cold, hard cash. Nov 21 15 05:40 am Link "Hi model. I am going to be wearing a body cam and video tape every move you make." Naa, doesn't sound creepy to me.

If you don't want to use a GoPro use a sound recorder. Or a video cam mounted in the studio. I usually don't have those problems, so never gave it much thought for my work. Although, I did have a problem in Amsterdam. I was shooting for this project... nsfw http://dewallenrld.tumblr.com/ A trans prostitute masquerading as a female agreed to let me shoot her for 5 - 10 minutes for $40. The prostitutes all demand $ upfront. After I paid her she said she now wanted $100 or she would call the police and say I attacked her. The few prostitutes I hired almost all cheated me. I normally don't hire models I am a street and doc photog. But if you want inside shots to round the book out you gotta pay for access. BTW, if you think $40 is high for 5 minutes photo access. The vast majority of the 40 to 50 prostitutes I solicited for photo access refused the offer. Some would allow a couple of shots of a body part, photos of their kamer or an interview for $, but no photos of them. You wont be able to walk around with a GoPro in the Red Light District, you will get your ass kicked if caught. Photography is outlawed. But tourists sneak low quality pix all the time. OP...just be happy your not a street photog. These are the type of people and problems I deal with... nsfw https://danielteolijr.wordpress.com/201 … tographer/ Nov 21 15 06:07 am Link hapiemedia wrote: Perhaps you should only shoot with models who have Verified Credits on MM. Nov 21 15 06:17 am Link I used to be against escorts, but now when a model brings an escort, I bring Guido, my escort/bodyguard. I find a 6-5 muscle bound brute with a kevlar jacket, helmet with go-pro mounted on it and semi-automatic weapon, provides a nice, safe environment for everyone so we can relax and get on with the shoot with no worries of anyone doing anything inappropriate.

Nov 21 15 11:29 am Link It's easy to avoid false allegations when people aren't showing up at all. Nov 21 15 12:04 pm Link Jerry Nemeth wrote: Most models could out-run you.

Nov 21 15 05:33 pm Link I think the OP may be onto something. However, why stop at a video camera strapped to your chest? Don't forget to place cameras in the dressing room to prevent wardrobe theft too? This serves a double purpose too in that it gives you great content to post to Redtube..
