In a couple of weeks I’m doing a photo shoot of this hot muscle bear jock guys who runs a gym in Sydney. He’s a sexy tall guy who loves exhibitionism etc and wants some horny shots done. We are even going to be able to do the shots in the gym after hours. It’s going to be a shoot full of sexual tension.
The question is, would it be unprofessional to do something about that sexual tension once the camera is away? Part of me says yes, it sets an unprofessional precedent between photographer and model, but the other part of me (typical libran, seeing both sides of any argument) says that hell, we are both consenting adults and I would never pressure anyone into sex, it’s just not my style. Either way, the shoot will be hot fun.
DO IT!!!!
After the photoshoot, of course…….. then publish the pics …. of the photoshoot…… and if u have any of the 2 of you doing it…. lol.
I say don’t worry about it. If it happens after the shoot, then go for it!
Having been photgraphed (and videotaped) by a professional who got very friendly during the shoot (he always acts as the fluffer), I can tell you that having something sexual happen isn’t necessarily unprofessional. I think the unprofessional aspect would be if the sex was used as either a way to get him to do things in the shoot he didn’t want or some other power play.
If you are both into it, then it’s no one’s concern but the two of you! (of course, photos of all involved is always nice, but that might cross the border into unprofessional…even if it is very hot!!)
I say the photo shoot ends when it ends and anything after that is just fun between two hot fellas.
LOL and what if he’s read this ? :)
I think if you are both feeling it, go for it. It’s not like sex is part of the ‘transaction fee.’
Just go Brenton for it. Enjoy it if it happens.
hi brenton
oh well, i have photographed 20 guys
and the tension is there, but am to naive/ shy/stupid not to grasp any opportunity, i love giving massages too love to offer them but….oh well
was recently ’shot’ by a photographer — as the photo shoot went on (i started clothed and was working my way thru costume changes and various stages of undress), he got more and more ‘comfortable’ and was naked by the end of the shoot — as was I. the tension was there from the nature of the shoot, and when we were finished with our work, just was natural to want to release all the energy between us — made for an ‘explosive’ time. don’t fret about it — let it happen.
I say go for it. :)
my only advice is not to leave a mess on the camera
Hmm that’s a tough one, I say you can test the waters and you’ll know soon enough if he’s willing to reciprocate!
Just be professional about it until he show interest, then after that, we’re human after all ;)
Cheers
Well I’ve been in shoots where the subject matter involved some very steamy and erotic/quasi-porn type pics and there was definitely tension there. On one occasion I did let it go past just taking photos and was okay. I say just go with what you both feel is natural and that you’re comfortable with. After all, it might even make for some hotter pics in the end! :-p
Umm… your “we’re both consenting adults” argument sounds pretty immature. You can apply it to any sexual situation between two adults. Two consenting adults, where one’s a boss and the other’s his employee, can have sex, but it doesn’t mean they should. On the other hand, are you a professional photographer where you expect to get photography work at many publications (in which case your reputation is important)? Or are you just taking pictures of this guy for your website and calling yourself a photographer? There seems to be a fine line with these sites that get popular and earn money from their traffic…
