I'm Moving....! Sep 30 08 06:40 pm Link K E S L E R wrote: Oh please. I'd slap my photographer boyfriend for not shooting hot girls like he's suppose to.

We have to grow, that doesn't mean grow beyond shooting with them, but we cannot limit ourselves to just being our husband's or boyfriends model. We are not very marketable then. Sep 30 08 07:38 pm Link jealousy and insecurity is a bad thing for ANY relationship, regardless of the profession. i know that i've lost some really great models due to jealous and insecure boyfriends/girlfriends.

May 1960 Princess Margaret marries photographer Anthony Armstrong Jones. She is the first of the royals to be thought of as cool, glamorous, and soon becomes the paparazzi's target. Hope for the many photographers out there!!! Sep 30 08 07:42 pm Link K E S L E R wrote: No, I would not. Cause two artists equals a disaster. One of the people in the relationship needs a solid, dependable career. My bf right now does web design which is perfect cause his career is stable. I dated an artsy guy before, and we never really did anything with much productivity, if you know what I mean. Could never see myself having a family with someone unless they did something with a solid paycheck, not being superficial, just don't want to live on foodstamps Sep 30 08 09:13 pm Link Let me tell you... It's the worst idea ever. Well, if you're dating... But don't expect a ring. HAHA. No, it's not funny. Really.

It sounds like the model isn't being jealous and insecure over something totally insignificant, but the other way around. Sep 30 08 09:59 pm Link I think a model/photographer relationship would work. Their chemistry would lead to better direction, and translated on film. There was one photographer I worked w/that was really laid back and had a renaissance man vibe. We had a great shoot. *wished he would've asked me out for lunch but oh well. ho hum. lol.* Sep 30 08 10:08 pm Link I highly doubt it. Wheres the hot young female photographers? Sep 30 08 10:10 pm Link no. i wouldn't date a photographer. Sep 30 08 10:29 pm Link It certainly would be cheaper... Sep 30 08 10:32 pm Link When I first started modeling I thought that it was unprofessional to date in the industry so I held off dating the attractive and eligible photographers I met. Then I realized that everyone dates within their job/career and the most successful couples in the industry are generally model/photographer or makeup artist/photographer couples. We're going to have different issues than some other couples would, but we're going to not have issues that a lot of people do. Mature and loving people can make relationships wherever they find them. I would totally date a photographer, model or makeup artist if s/he caught my fancy. Oct 01 08 01:37 am Link I think it would depend on their professional relationship like, how often they work together. Oct 01 08 02:09 am Link if i were single... the answer would still be no. one night stands maybe lol Oct 01 08 04:47 am Link Of course I would date a photographer if I were attracted to him or her. I definitely would not get jealous because they were shooting hotter models than me. That's so stupid. I wouldn't want him or her to shoot models who were UGLY, that would make their port bad. I could definitely appreciate the work because we would both be in the industry. It doesn't matter what industry you're in, really. People date their co-workers or other people in the same industry all the time. They tend to have common interests. Jealousy is everywhere, it doesn't matter what industry you work in. It's just the way some people are. They're insecure about something. Oct 01 08 05:07 am Link BOBO! Oct 01 08 05:16 am Link B Debauchery wrote: A man dating a model has many reasons to be insecure. No model in this forum is going to actually come forward and say "I have a bf/fiance/husband... but I just couldn't help myself... I've slept with a photographer I was working with before/during/after the shoot... or days/weeks/months after the shoot"... And believe me... they're out there. And those people are reading so I'm sure the guilty parties are a little sympathetic to a bf's concerns. Oct 01 08 01:37 pm Link HottShotz wrote: I can see your point. But I don't think that has anything to do with them being a model, but instead a shitty girlfriend! They'll get hit on anywhere, and not cuz they're a model.

Until I found out that he had the same idea about another one of his models.... Long story short, I no longer date in the industry. Ha. Oct 01 08 01:54 pm Link B Debauchery wrote: This industry is primarily about sex. Sex sells... You know... being suggestive... nudity... etc. The girl next door is exposed to the world... but she's not exposed to "our" world. There's an ADDITIONAL level of concern from a mans perspective when it comes to a woman who is "in this industry". Make sense? Oct 01 08 01:55 pm Link I think the matter comes down to insecurity, and if anyone is insecure, then they shouldn't be in a relationship in the first place. Having said that, I think that a model/photographer relationship could work just like the rest of relationships. I know I'm not the most attractive woman on the planet. There is ALWAYS going to be someone more attractive, no matter what line of business your significant other is in, and the same temptations can be found anywhere I think. Oct 01 08 02:06 pm Link I would say absolutely not to dating someone that you've worked with- but recently, I broke my rule ;-) Oct 01 08 02:09 pm Link Any relationship would work if you make it work. I think alot of models are saying "No, I won't date a photographer" for the old "I don't mix business with pleasure" rule. If you're attracted to someone and you want to make a move... make a move, no matter what the circumstances are. Personally, I go after gorgeous woman. 9 times out of 10, gorgeous women model. I won't be deprived of dating because I'm a photographer. Sometimes when I approach women, I don't tell them what I do for a living JUST so things can stay ON track. Once you tell them you're a photographer, they start talking business, then you never get back to the personal. It sucks www.myspace.com/hottshotzphotography Oct 01 08 02:11 pm Link To me the most difficult part is having to justify why the one you love doesn't fit the "cast" on a personal project.... The "sorry love but..." hurts more often than not... My main activity in the past was more involved with directing actors and I have been living with an actress for 15 years and guess what we made it a rule that we don't work on the same set. It did protect integrity and self-estime. Love in the same trade ? why not ! But it sure can create situations :-))) Good luck to all the ones falling in Love ! lol Jean P.S.

I guess I'm just so separate about my shit it doesn't occur to me O.o I'm a club kid and frequent the goth/fetish scene. I guess for me, being surrounded by it enough just makes me certain of what I do want--cuz even if someone was fun for a few hours, it still would never compare to my SO who comes to visit me in the hospital and still likes me when i'm gross and haven't shaved in days! and who I already enjoy *wink wink nudge nudge* very very much.

Oct 01 08 03:12 pm Link So if you met a really interesting attractive man at a bar, and he told you he was a garbage man, would you not date him? Chemistry cannot be judged by your occupation. His or yours. Would you rather live your life trying to maintain 'professionalism' and get to the pearly gates, look back, and ask yourself, "what would have happened if I had given that a chance?" No regrets. No labels. No judgements. Oct 01 08 03:46 pm Link Yea, I have (dated another photog)... except it doesn't work when the photographer ends up getting involved with the models. >  Oct 01 08 03:49 pm Link |
