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).

If it hasn't , you need better models.  Good question though....lots of things I'd love to know about the inside of a model's psyche...that will forever be a secret

I think it's normal, and flattering to a point. Can't think why it would be disgusting though. Any more than a female photographer who was "nippy".

Ew, it's disgusting because I'm there to do a job and I don't want your boner around me. It's no different from anyone else I'm not fucking getting "excited" to see me- ew ew ew! I am very particular about the boners in my life and any unwarranted ones make me want to vomit.

it's a natural reaction. what's all the "ew" for? it's not a problem unless they say anything inappropriate. i act like i don't see it.

This comes down to attitude. A professional attitude vs a Wannabe attitude.

We are all humans, things happen sometimes, when they do, keep it professional, keep working. Simple as that.

Some models will do thier best to get a reponse from you.

Then stop modeling. What do you think advertisers are going for. Sex sells in advertising. If you can't give someone a "boner" then find another profession.

I agree with Tammy.  Men get erections.  That doesn't mean that they feel the need to attack any cute girl nearby everytime they get one.  If that's happened, then it's a problem.  If not, you're fine.  Hell, I'm half to fully naked on most of my shoots.  Any "happiness to see me" is proof I'm doing what I'm paid for. 

And, uh, Tiff?  How exactly do you pick and choose the boners in your life?

I think she's just really young and immature. Sure this is a business, but you're there to elicit an emotion.....a reaction, and like a previous poster mentioned, if you can't handle that, go find another occupation.
ALso, if this has never happened to you, you might want to consider another occupation again, because what you're doing, isn't doing it for the photog, and if it's not doing it for them, it won't happen for the consumer!
Experience and maturity ought to help.

Depends what mood she's in.

"Hmm, I feel like short, thick, and circumsized today."

You sounds like such a pleasure to be around! I just read your profile and it screams..."I'm above everyone else and can't be bothered!!"
I wish you luck............I honestly think you're going to need it.

simple solution to your issues. work only with female photographers and only femaile models. problem solved... heterophobia is as unattractive as homophobia, i should note. sexual ghettoism... yawn.

whoa whoa.  it is not a phobia. you guys are looking way too far into what i said earlier. in all seriousness, i do not hate men, i have no issues with men....i just wouldn't be comfortable with an erect photographer. i know that its natural and happens blah blah blah, but that doesn't change how i feel. i'm also not comfortable when i dance with a guy and he gets an erection. why? i'm just not. i shouldn't have to validate that. 

i guess i say things in jest because in my life, not everything is taken soooo seriously nor is every line picked apart by people who can't get over themselves for just a minute. honestly, relax. although my last post was mostly sarcastic, i am now honestly saying that i am sorry if anyone was offended.  if you're a photographer in the southern california area who is prone to erections while shooting, feel free to add me to your list of 'models not to shoot'.
