trust between you and your man is important. smile
Once he believes you have your own mind, and are intelligent enough to make decisions safely on your own you'll both be happy.

Thats what this thread is really about, no?
Maybe this should be moved to off topic?

That's good to hear but far from being over with for sure, sounds like he has serious trust issues or is insecure as hell. Be prepared for the grilling about what you shot with him not around.

Geez does THAT smack of insecurity, why would he care? Seems like he'd be proud that someone would want to take photographs of you parading around in your underwear.  Hell, my wife has done a ton of nude/explicit modeling and I love bragging about her to people...I'm proud of her.

Hope this works out, like you said...baby steps.  smile

For the first little while, you'll probably have to go a little overboard to calm his insecurities.  Show him the pics, spend time with him, and keep reminding him that, even though other guys may be photographing you, he's the one you come home to, and he's the only one who gets to touch you.  As he starts to accept this, then you can gradually start backing off the excessive reassurance.

I think this is a good idea for not having an escort at the actual shoot. Having someone drop you off and pick you up is a good safety method so someone knows your wherabouts when you're meeting up with someone you don't know. Escorts can definitely be avoided if you're escorted to the shoot and picked up. I'm meeting with a new photographer tomorrow for coffee (that way you're not complete strangers when you meet to shoot) so then at the actual shoot you only use your escort for a ride to and from. Good way for both parties to feel comfortable without the escort at the actual shoot.

You could always burn him a special mix CD to play in the car while he waits. Something to let him know you appreciate his understanding.

Just don't put J. Geils' "Centerfold" on it.

I simply stopped asking if he was available for an escort. Told him I'd checked references and where I'd be. Golden! I still tell him where I'll be though. Better safe than sorry.

Total props, though. Seriously. smile

Having someone know where you'll be is a good strategy.  So is riding with someone, as long as they don't get bored and make a pest of themselves.

Isn't he a photographer?  He should know how NOT sexual a shoot, even a lingerie shoot, is for the participants.

It really is that simple and should be required reading for any and all models on the escort issue. Well said!

Psshh I had the opposite problem. I never bring anyone with me to shoots, but the day before my last shoot, the photographer texted me and asked if I was bringing someone along. I said no, and he said, "Well, could you? I could use the help holding reflectors, etc."
Ummm...
So I asked my boyfriend if he would come help, and he didn't want to! He didn't want to spend his one day off following me around a park holding lights and things. I guess I don't blame him, but it was a backwards situation!

Oh, man.

I don't do "one step at a time."

Take me as I am, I take you as you are.

My parading around in my underwear infront of other guys is a non negotiable item in the package.

Maybe you have more patience than I.

Hope it all continues to work well for you.

Never had that problem, but there is a lot of trust and probably because I don't go telling him take it or leave it.
