If a model needs an llama herder, I don't need the model.  I'll find another model.

I have started insisting that every woman bring an escort to shoot with a photographer - it's the right thing to do!

If a photographer doesn't allow escorts, he's up to no good.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-iw5TaUpM1OI/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAABg/oWjr6XtVW8o/s120-c/photo.jpg. If a photographer insisted I bring an escort, I would cancel the shoot.  1.) It's just creepy.  2.) I don't like "escorts" any more than most photographers do. The idea of having somebody on the set, or even just "waiting" for me in the same location as the shoot makes me nervous.  3.) There is no need for an escort when working with reputable photographers who have good reputations.

UNLESS your name is fashion photographer... he doesn't trust himself alone with models.. He doesn't know what he would do if he was alone with one... so to keep you safe.. he tells you to bring an escort.

But what he doesn't tell you is that he is going to drug him/her and take him out then do unspeakable things to you while your escort lay unconscious.

April 1st isn't what it used to be.

Is this real, surreal or post surreal?

There was a time a photographer asked me my schedule so he could plan the shoot.
I told him (and it included days I could get a ride from my father only, he always comes with me)

"Oh, you don't need to bring him, or even tell him, I can come pick you up"

"No, I always bring my father with me to shoots for safety and seeing as I'm a minor, he'd need to sign a release form."

"I don't use release forms. I only give you a release form if I plan on using it eventually and I haven't seen the pics yet so I don't know if I'm going to use them. Waste of paper. Seriously, I can pick you up"


Something along the lines of that.
We decided not to work with him afterwards.





On a funny note. A friend of mine things bringing as escort involves the use of escort services, smh lol

Always let your husband know where you are, so that he can come rescue you if necessary. Pepper spray can't help you if you are locked in a tower, guarded by a dragon!

Actually pepper spray can help in a tower guarded by humans, but Dragons actually like the stuff.

I encourage my models to bring several knights as escorts and to come packing with all sorts of Medieval weapons.



. .I also tell them a Chasity belt is not a bad idea either, because i cannot be trusted.  I have some awesome Chasity belt close ups if anyone is interested.

One knight should be enough, if he is good enough.

Chastity belts are overrated, and easily circumvented. An escort with honor is the only safe way to go.

And what they lack in honor, they often make up for with extra possessiveness and insecurity. And a need to look tough for the GF.

In 4 goddamn years, I have never felt the need to bring an llama herder, ever. And guess what? I'm still in one piece and breathing.

If  you be knowing how to circumvent....(is that a pun!)  you need to be sharing that with me.  I had serious cuts the last time I tried that.

If I felt the need to bring an escort for my protection, they'd have to be more skilled than I am at kicking ass. I have experience in 7 martial arts. There are very few people that are more able than I am that I'd be open to asking... and most, if not all, are female.

If someone uses a gun, I'm probably not going to get far anyway... but neither is your standard escort.

If I'm locked in a tower, I think it's safer just to count on myself to get out of it. I know how to fall. wink

and based on the picture, you already have a ladder.
