concerns regarding a photoshoot
Our take
In the realm of creative collaboration, professionalism and respect are paramount. Recently, a model and photographer shared a troubling experience during a fashion shoot in a home studio. Despite the initial intent of the session, the photographer became overly aggressive, pressuring the model into compromising situations involving nudity. This behavior raises significant concerns about boundaries and professionalism in the industry. It is essential for creative professionals to address such conduct and seek appropriate actions to uphold a safe and respectful working environment.
Hey, so i'm a model & photographer, with my own home studio, and I regularly collaborate with other models & photographers
I did a photoshoot the other day with a guy (I was the model) in my home studio, this was a fashion based shoot, however once the shoot began hes became very pushy, and tried to get me in underwear, and even nude, I managed to stand my ground, but I am mortified by this conduct, and wondered what action I can take, as surely this is not appropriate or professional behaviour

- Raw imagesHey guys, I’m an amateur photographer , just started out and I needed some shots to gain some experience and confidence as a photographer. So I asked a friend to do an outdoor shoot for free, another one of my friends volunteered as well so I took shots of both of them. They came out really well and I edited them because I want my brand to be more vintage. My friend that originally came mostly complained the entire time and wasn’t a very good sport. But the other was very willing to help and was by far an outstanding model. I was a little annoyed and at the end of the shoot he asked to upload all of the original photos to his laptop, and I declined. And sent over the edited photos. And he asked for the raw images again, and I declined. Was this wrong or rude? Need some advice submitted by /u/itsmecela [link] [comments]
- Advice on how to handle a contract disputeI have a model I recently worked with on a boudoir shoot with a horse. I normally never do TFP shoots anymore as I have 1000's of photos never posted, however in this case, I decided to go ahead with it as I have done boudoir shoots for years, but had never shot with a live animal and thought it would be fun. She had also never shot anything like this with her horses so was really excited. I have worked with her before in 2 previous shoots, and even had 2 magazine prints between us. Turns out, there was issues with the shooting location as it was on her "friend's" ranch, where her friend's dad was present. They obvious didn't want to shoot around him so we sat for over an hour waiting for him to leave. Then we ended up having to shoot in the barn which obviously had absolute dogshit lighting and I only had limited lighting to use as we had planned on shooting out in fields and EXTREMELY limited space. The photos actually came out surprisingly well, given the situation. Regarding the contract, in TFP situations like this, I always have a clause that they MUST make at least one post with some of the final delivered photos we take on their primary social for exposure for at least 1 year. She's never shot this before, she's not at a level where people are going to be paying for her horse photos, so it's a mutual gain situation. We both get photos, and exposure. Otherwise I'm just out here working for free, for some portfolio photos that are ok, but if I was going to just use for my personal portfolio, I would just pay a true professional for better photos. Now she doesn't want to post the photos. Her reasoning is that she doesn't want boudoir stuff on her page. Keep in mind, she was wearing a full teady with near full cheek coverage undewear. Never going less than that. She has numerous posts wearing far less than that all over her page. What's more, I've seen now she has done OTHER HORSE PHOTOSHOOTS with other photographers wearing booty shorts, near zero coverage crop top shirts. Her response was that even though those are more revealing, they're still publicly acceptable, while lingerie isn't. I had no control over what she wore for the shoot, that was her choice. So now I'm left in a weird situation. I already know I'm likely not going to work with her again, but what do I do about the literally hours of time spent driving, sitting, shooting, and editing. I could pressure her back on the contract, but the reality is she is getting more and more connected with the local modeling scene and models absolutely love to shit talk to other models about photographers if they don't like them. I have debated doing a make up shoot, but I have a feeling now that she already did 2 more horse themed shoots she won't want to do it again.
