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  |
I always tell my girls that I will allow them to bring someone with them, but ONLY if they accept responsibility for their actions, and if they are willing to sit in another room or outside until I have what I need if they are being distracting. Giving them a feeling of comfort is fine with me, as long as it doesn't interfere with my goals. I only ever had issue with ONE "tagalong" a model brought, and I gave her the choice of asking her friend to wait outside, or ending the shoot right there and they would leave with no pay. Her friend sat outside, we finished the shoot, and all was good in the world.
