When I'm working with models I wear an over-sized t-shirt, not tucked in.  It obscures the bonal region and saves everyone from distraction.

That is forever going to be my favourite phrase EVER:

Bonal region

Maybe for models that want a robot to shoot em to find a gay photographer or another woman. Yes photographers should be professional I agree. But to expect them to be biologically uneffected is a bit silly.

this subject has brought forth so many interesting perspectives and catch parases (bonal region). that's great. well I have to say it happens to the best of us. but u just have to ignore it if its not what u r going for or use it if those r the emotional response u want from your viewer.  I'm glad this was brought up. hahaha. was gonna post something else different subject like : is it just me or does windows vista suck? does anyone like this version? I thought xp was great and seemed reliable. then they had to be all nifty like apple and made a cute windows version but a not so friendly interface. I swear its like they don't even try it out themselves before releasing it. its got a mind of its own and not so smart programming. I wonder if all of microsoft personel and employees actually update immediately as a new version comes out or r they using macs or windows 98 or windows 2000.  ok... I'm off on a tangent. sorry. figured we were done with the boner talks.

OK Guys! ...no more boxers...use Duck Tape next time you are going to a shoot..it works well, you may feel a little disomfort and may walk funny at times, but the models will never have to see your emotions and you will keep it verry professional!

Case close...ohhh, and Ladies....STOP LOOKING!!!!

XP

Duct tape?  Just jerk off several times before you shoot, that way the fucker will be too exhausted to rear it's evil head...

Nice threadjack but I'm gonna ignore it...

I was sleeping the other night, and when I woke up, I had stiffness in the bonal region (told u it was my new fave phrase)

How disgusting was that?  I mean like, there was no-one else around, so I must have liked, turned myself on!  How awful, I felt like I would vomit, to think I got aroused in my sleep by myself!  I'm never sleeping with myself ever again

It may happen, but personally I'm too concentrate on the lighting/shadows, pose, composition while shooting. And the brain is the 80% when it comes to sex, just keep it busy and learn to concentrate, it may be useful in private occasions too wink

this happened to me recently and i wanted to vomit....

but it didn't stop there...the guy began text messaging me the weirdest messages about us being together...FOR REAL.

I ignored his messages for the most part, took an escort with me to pick up my cd, and i haven't talked to him since.

weird people, very weird people....*gross*

You wanted to vomit because the guy got a hard-on? Grow the hell up.

The rest of it is creepy and stalker-ish, but a guy getting aroused, what is the big deal?

wow....I would have to say that it's fine until they cross the boundry....it's always a plus for a photographer to be happy when u come around...that means ur probably doing something right or that you could potential make it in this industry....I say if the photographer means no harm or disrespect then don't act like a sidity bitch towards them cuz they may be the 1 to lead u to ur BIG BREAK (u never know)

Respect and behavior is what matters.  A person's actions and treatment of others are the important thing here.  Professionalism goes both ways... in front of the camera and behind it. 

When you get the creeps during a shoot, maybe it is time to politely bring the shoot to a close for the day. 

Some of the most beautiful people in the world spend a lot of time in front of a lens operated by people who would not be comfortable being photographed.

just make sure to email the model and ask her if it's OK, that'll end well for sure.

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).

Why are you curious about whether or not photographers are aroused by models?  That's a tad creepy!

I heard once that Jack Nicholson would tell his co-stars before they began an intimate scene...

"I appologize in advance if I get excited... and I appologize in advance if I don't".

That about covers it all I'd say... I think if that works for him it should work for us all lol...

You're kidding, right? The shot in your port of you wearing white pants and nothing else has amongst its comments nine instances of "hot" and/or "sexy" (the one with three "hot"s counts as one).
