I have no problem with an escort bringing the model to the shoot, taking a look around and then leaving. I also don't have a problem with an escort hanging out at the shoot as long as they are not "on the set" or within eye contact with the model while I'm working with her. The last thing on my mind is "making a move on them". The first thing on my mind is getting good content and doing it in an efficient and timely manner. Anything that slows down the shoot for any reason is something that I take very seriously.
I've had shoots where the model and her escort got in an argument. I've had a models escort try to run my shoots and tell me what poses look best and even how I should be setting up my lights? Ahhh - no thanks. Escorts are more trouble then they are worth IMO. Of course I'm not talking about all escorts but from my experience...most of them

The words of a professional. I'm in business to make money and if they need to bring a friend I will tell them to go find another shooter. Fortunately I have an enormous studio and enough kit to prove. Plus my wife is doing the interviewing and shooting.

Careful what you do.

Very true.
I will sometimes let a friend come in on a casting, but never a shoot. I don't care if they are the other end of the building, they could put off the model. On video we need them moaning out the orgasm, tough if their mate is sitting in the next room. Break times they are chatting away while we're trying to build a bridge to her to improve the work.
I find it very easy to get rid of males and especially boyfriends from shoots and castings. Those that insist on being there can go home early and take their friends.
