your a photographer? an uhh yea. i had stuff happen with two photographers (one was the other ones friend...shooulda known!). i felt kinda stupid and naive because i shouldve just stopped doing stuff when i felt uncomfortable but didnt so both times i felt taken advantage off at the end. and thats why i figure its good not to come to strangers houses even if its seems for a professional or artistic purposes lol
Just as a hobby. Couldn't make ends meet when I tried years ago and I enjoy it more when I don't have to earn a living from it. Also I only ask friends to model for me as that avoids most of the awkwardness, though generally I don't do nudes for the most part unless one of my stupid ideas calls for it. Fortunately I know a load of artist types so they love to show off. But I've had my own share of crap experiences while behind the lens too, it's not just all you pretty girls that get the creepy come-ons.
And being a pro photographer doesn't make them any less sleazy. An ex of mine used to work (as a secretary/assistant) for one in London back when we lived there. Urgh. Though the girls themselves pretty much all screwed him, I've no idea why since he was teh ugliest little spud you've ever seen. I suppose they thought it might help their careers or he had a gun to their heads or something. Creeps me out to this day.
