Because you build a closer relationship with them. This relationship shows through in the work, the work sells better and makes more money.

There are so many people in this thread who think there is an element of force applied or a girl needs to be a whore to sleep with a guy because she fancies him. A lot also seem to think a shooter/model relationship should never go beyond business.

Well criticize me if you like, but please point out the shooter who has a better track record than me. Let's hear from the shooters who are earning what I earn who have the years in business that I have, who have the cover shots I have. Many of them telling me how it should be done are no where near my level. Maybe I should listen to there advice of them and sell sets for $150 a piece. :1orglaugh

Then look at the shooters who do sleep with models and tell me where they are going wrong.

Eva Markham
David Bailey. I rest my case.

While you're in Vegas go to the AVN show and look at all the shooters who have girlfriends who are models.

Every time I read one of your threads I am more amazed that English is your native language.

It's strange as an industry what we put some girls through in order to make money. Some of the content we sell is close to abuse, degrading and insulting to women.

Yet to read some of these posts it seems the worse thing a shooter can do is have a close relationship with a model. DP her, anal fuck her till it hurts and then cover her face in cum is fine.

Make love to her and you're really are breaking the rules.

But some of the fools in this thread obviously have not got a clue. They live in a world where a set sells for $150 to $200 and would cream themselves to sell a set for $4,000. Yes a good solo girl set in my world sells for that money.

Excuse me if I do not listen to some of the advice given here.

Site owners and affiliates, what makes the difference in this business is the look in the girls eyes. Now who do you think will get the better look an employer or lover? The idea that a person the model does not like will get the look is beyond absurd.

I'm off to enjoy my holiday in SoCal.

I read that before and I just think you are talking for what works for you. You also deal with european women who have a totally different view on how to get more work.

I wonder what super models (tyra banks level) would say to your theory, I have seen some incredible pictures done where these models come off the billboards/magazines just oozing sexuality..and I could probably be safe to say they did not have to sleep with anyone to acheive that look.

I dont sleep with my photographers, and I find it easier to act stupid (or turn it on ) in front of someone I do not have an intimate relationship with...put my hubby behind the camera and I would totally freeze up..and he is the only man I desire.

brag all you want.. you cant pin point shit in this thread but what works for you...this subject is way too broad to narrow it down to such a black and white theory.

Poor English education. :(

Very true, it does work for some.

But to assume I would spend $1,000 to shoot a girl because she slept with me is a bit off. The girls who have to sleep with shooters to get work don't last long.

Off the top of my head I can think of 10 super models who slept with shooters.

probly they are bunch of nast fat greasy hoes

It's the unspoken, unwritten part of the contract that's understood between model and photographer as soon as they agree to do a shoot. It's not just in adult though. I have no doubt that many of the top female movie stars and singers had to sleep with the men in power to get where they are. But that part of their 'big break' won't air on Biography any time soon.

damn, thats a bad quality

Well, what do you do when your kick-ass photographer..pre-cum's in his shorts?

#1 reason,for me taking a step back from the "model" in front of the camera, to the "model" behind the camera. I hear about to much drama over the photographer
wanting to sleep with the model, and the model is soooo turned off, she doesn't even feel comfy shooting with the photographer again.

What a waste, mixing business with pleasure.

:1orglaugh Yeap

I though it was becuase you got to fuck the bitch and write it off as a business expense :pimp
