I don't think that asking an art nude model so pose nude, and semi nude, on a nice old couch is unreasonable, but I had no idea we were catering to a fetish with it.

By now I'm used to people making comments about the feet on open leg shots, or the armpits on topless portraits. But this one REALLY amused me. Someone invited this (18+) http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8373/8417 … 6e16_o.jpg to a CHAIR FETISH group.

That's outrageous.  It's obviously a couch.

Having a completely random person on deviantart send me a message asking me to take pictures of myself looking like I was being kidnapped/beaten/tied up by terrorists. Worse part was he was from Afganastan.... Just a little bit odd...

Having a photographer want to take images of me in black and white while I'm menstarating- the blood being the only color in the image. Uuuuuuh.... no.

Having a "photographer" ask me to do web cam modeling for his private collection: masturbating with a stormtrooper helmet on... O.o WTF!?

I would do the last two.  the latter only if it was good pay.

I've seen some pretty poor concepts in my time but I thought I'd throw it open and ask the question...

What was the worst idea/concept that a photographer has ever pitched you for a shoot, and... did you actually end up shooting it?

I remember talking to a model who was going to do a trade. She told me it was going to be edgier shot. She was going to make her mark. I thought of the stupidest thing I could to guess what she would be doing. (I saw a barbie doll in her clothes bag). I though of breaking the barbie in two pieces and having it come out two sides.

Worst idea in history I though. But she was amazed that is what they were planning on doing.

someone told me they wanted to put me on a hamster wheel and make it look like i was trying to get at a water bottle that had crack in it instead of water.

I have a short video of me running in a human sized wheel- it's a lot harder than it looks!

I've had a lot of interesting and awkward exchanges during the shoot, but
as for weirdest pitch...I'm looking forward to the day!
