I dont allow escorts, ever. In fact, I work with alot of agency models who would be dropped or in alot of trouble for bringing somenone along to a shoot. Its only been recently with these internet girls playing model that escorts have even become an issue. Real models working for agencies come alone. Here are 2 fantastic reasons you shouldnt allow escorts either, both of these happened to a friend of mine.
Model shows up with escort friend who drove her. He spent an hour setting up, she spent 2 hours getting ready and another 90 min driving to the shoot. 15 min after they show up, the escort's mother calls and tells her that her 10 month old baby was having a severe allergic reaction and needed to be taken to the hospital. So because they drove together, bye bye model, no shoot and alot of wasted time.
Another time model brings b/f who is standing over his shoulder while he shoots taking pics on a point and shoot they brought. Then everytime the photographer has to make minor adjustments to the lights or his camera, model runs over to sit on b/f's lap and kiss him.
If any model questions why I dont allow escorts, I tell them to contact one of the hundreds of other models I have shot for a refference. If thats not good enough, they can shoot with someone else, end of story.
