I know what the point is. I have read through the thread. I was just commenting that there is a huge difference between the previous thread and this one in terms of people's answers. I was surprised to find that. I got trampled all over in the last thread for my feelings about this subject. Most people thought that it was innapropriate for a photog to pop wood during a shoot. It seems like most of the participants in this thread feel the opposite is true.

In the case of Tiff, who stated that a photog she had worked with did not get an erection, one person who responded to her said that it was not something Tiff should openly admit. Thus, the person who responded to Tiff's statement, was basically saying that she wasn't doing the job well enough if she didn't give said photog a boner. But the responder could have been sarcastic.

lighten up. as if this is strictly a "professional" forum with strictly professional advice...of course you're going to get both sides of the coin....it depends on who's reading it at what time.

crap. you just made me lose my boner.....

I wasn't aware that I was assigned a boner. If I was either FedEx hasn't delivered it yet or it got sent to the wrong house.

he he, here's a funny thing...wouldn't it be slightly ironic if it showed up in your mailbox instead?

And now you've got that to worry about as well...

My boyfriend's name is Charlie, thusly I named his "The Charlie Horse" for 2 reasons:

1) Like a horse, it can be ridden.
and
2) If it's a good O I'm having, I'll point my toes and oftentimes will get a charlie horse in one or both legs.

I'm an oddball.


But he's odder.

His horse has a bit in its mouth, even.

Somehow, I thought this was going to be about saddles and size....

Your profile seems to have a typo in it. There's a "2" where there should be a "1."

As for the question, I rarely if ever display such a reaction while I'm shooting. All my blood's in my head at that point. smile However, when I'm *not* concentrating, it can happen for any reason or *no* reason. I don't parade it around, but it's entirely possible I might not even notice until I move the wrong way and feel a bit, ah, restricted. There's no reason to be upset about it. Like so many things in life, the proper reaction is simply not to see it.

Ummm.. maybe that's why you see a lot of us shooting from a 'squatting' position? LOL   Ok... that was almost a joke.  I'll stand and take a bow in a few minutes. 

Seriously, though, if you are not moving your photographer to see you as a desirable object, how are you ever going to live with the rest of the world looking at you as a walking clothes rack'? 

I agree with the 'evoking emotion/response.  That's what we ALL do it for.  However, professionalism is something that should be in place at ALL times...

LMAO!  I find this very funny and sad at the same time.

I've spent so much time around naked chicks that simply seeing one naked, no matter how hot, is not enough to raise the flag.  I wish it was...

Now, if she were doing more than posing, well that might be different, but I've yet to shoot that...

If I were a model and the photog got a boner I'd storm out ASAP. humans are animals whatever..its sick imagining that.


..Lets say I am photographing a HOT HOT HOT male model and he is all naked and were trying to sell AXE or something, so its gotta be all SEXUALLL.
sure, I'd think "ohh he is cute" and then when I start shooting, I don't think like a sex-crazed teenager thats never seen a porn or a decent looking naked man before.
I personally think its a problem if a photog is getting all hot n sweaty over their work.
like..its not work..its not passion..its a sick obseessssion... i dunno..
Professional or NOT. sick in my opinion

LMAO again!

You gals do realize that we don't actually have any control over that right?

It is not something that can be helped. If I were modeling (I model also) and I saw the photographer had one, I would feel really uncomfortable, be if he got a hard on and I never knew, I could care less.

in conclusion.. just hide it, and you have nothing to worry about. where tighties, it helps.

Thanks Don. I'll make you something to eat. Your welcome anytime.

Don't be sorry. Sometimes one feels compelled to make contact with another. Perhaps I reminded you of someone you used to know...

Hey

Well I met a photographer who was happy to see me. He didn't do anything to me but it's just disgusting! So I was away as soon as possible. It´s also  the reasen why I hate the pictures even though some are good. I do now that if someone tries to touch me and I don´t want it I will solve the problem my own way gehe.

arousal isn't something a person can control. unless it's a GWC then the photog is likely not leering at you and deliberately thinking, "goddamn i'm gonna blow it if i don't fuck this broad right now!!"

i think unexpected hard-ons are the cutest of all. if i noticed one, then i'd say, "thanks!"

Anyway, this is a question for models, and one of no real merit--I'm just curious.

Have any of your photogrpaphers during a shoot obviously been "happy to see you" and was it of any concern to you, or do you think it is normal?

Is it flattering?  Is it disgusting?

(It has not happened to me).

It's a natural reaction.  I have had this happen... and I just let it go past without a word.  It's not something that is worth bringing up.
