Ummmmm, if an 18+ year old model's gramps is 50, then her mom must have queefed her out during a spelling bee.

I know a woman whose mother had her at 15. This woman had her own daughter at 15, making her mother a thirty year old grandmother. Room for an 18 year old grandchild, by 50, with a couple of years to spare. Not as uncommon as one might think.

LOL! shes an idiot (is that allowed? haha) oh well, moving on. Funny thing is that usually photographers get better w/ age and experience as their craft and art develops while models have a short shelf life and expire rather quickly. Its a sad situation.

Poster above also hit it dead on ... so many models would love to shoot w/ you!

I had a model cancel on me when she found out that I had a mustache. She had a phobia of mustaches.

So, the young beautiful, voluptous model looking sooo sexy is laying on her back naked, wet from prespiration, looking so sultry (most young men would want her passionately, yes)....when all the sudden Phillip who is mounted over her with this look startles her as he quickly while unzipping his pants begins to sit up more erect and she screams "Please, don't. Please, I don't want to have sex with you." Then Phillip, old man that he is says "Please!"...."Let me get up." ...... "I have to pee soooo bad!"

smile


edit:

The above is a humuous scenario. Fiction. I made it up. I respect Phillip. His work is amazing!

When people think "Old man" they think over 60. And men over 60 think of sex less and less. That is because if we are not taking Flomax we are "peeing" alot. Just life.

what a way to burn bridges with a good photographer. don't expect a young models to be all mature. If she's in LA/socal (it seems like she is), PM me her MM# so I can make sure I don't hire her.

I can't seem to find the logic in straddling the model like that.  At the very least, stand and zoom!

With that said, I totally agree the model sounds like an immature train-wreck waiting to happen.

You aren't too told to shoot nudes or anything else for that matter. Helmut Newton shot when he was old as well and his work was amazing smile

Not reading 14 pages.

If she got scared at the straddling shot as some one suggested, she never saw "Blowup".

Plus at this age to stand and get that angle of shot, means bending over and getting a bad back. No thank you.

And a ladder means if you lose your balance you drop a greater distance, so increased hazard.
