"We Are The New Vintage"
Tags:
There are many reasons why a photographer won't work with a model who wants to bring an escort, and expecting them to get nude is only one of them. Some of the reasons are very good ones; escorts often ruin shoots. A lot of prep work goes into a shoot, and often a lot of money. The wrong escort can easily make all the time and money a waste.
Some of the reasons I have heard are goofy ones, "it sets up an atmosphere of distrust and a lack of confidence in my professionalism." Well, duh. If you don't have a killer port and credentials, then a young lady going to a place to meet a strange man should NOT trust him. Someone who says this is just on a bad ego trip -- if he can't understand why a young woman should not trust him until she knows him, his head is in the sand.
There are two kinds of escorts I like: the first one will come in, look around, see that the model is safe (there are always at least three people at our shoots) and then leave with, "call me when you are finished." The next level is the one who comes in with a book or a computer and finds an out of the way place to read or work by themselves. Anything beyond that becomes a problem that someone who is busy (the photographer, the MUH, the stylist) has to deal with.
I don't know how a model would know if their escort was a problem or not. I know that we try to be gracious and professional and won't come out and tell a model that their escort was a problem, unless it got so bad that we had to end the shoot, which has never happened. I imagine the model might be able to guess in some circumstances, and if she is invited back to shoot with the photographer again, she can know all was well. It is a choice one has to make-- take an escort and risk it not working out, or don't take an escort and, well, risk your life.
