Model limits

This grew legs since I posted! The question that's getting answered wasn't originally as I read it so might as well add a second post in here.

Firstly, my interests at the minute are fashion style shoots, possibly swimwear/lingerie included. My current "bill" requires a certain type of model. Unfortunately overweight/bad skin doesn't fit the bill right now so they'll get a no. I'm not judging them on whether I think they are attractive or not so anyone suggesting that I only shoot models that I find attractive are talking bull (and I know no posts were directed at me specifically! Just making the point :))

Secondly, if my bill changes and I decide to shoot something to do with weight problems or similar... then all those "pretty" models would get a no. They now don't "fit the bill".

Anyway, wouldn't mind replying to a couple of posts too while I'm here! :D

For those who won't shoot 'adult' models, are you embarrassed or scared of the model or is it that your better half won't let you.

All 3 in most cases I suspect.

Don't want them on my porfolio just yet. Might in the future. But you're making quite a presumption there in that it's all 3 in most cases. I would hedge a bet that most people that are in a relationship only fall into the third bracket. I don't think my other half wouldn't be happy with it. If so I wouldn't do it out of respect, would be nothing to do with her "not allowing me". She knows I'll do what I bloody want anyway and if she said "you're not allowed" me being stubborn would probably do it out of spite then! :lol:. But, we know how each other work and I have a feeling she wouldn't like it, so for that reason I'm not awfully bothered not having it on my portfolio.


I'm under the general impression that a lot of amateurs enjoy shooting models precisely because they enjoy shooting girls who they think are attractive. Leching under guise of "hobby"

For 90% of the cases that's just rubbish. I'll photograph blokes too, does that make me homosexual?
 
If they're paying i will shoot just about anyone but if it's tfcd/tfp i will shoot people i want to look at, otherwise what's the point in me giving up my time for free :shrug:
