Quick story.
Not quite the same thing, but similar enoughhahaha8230;
I get phone call from a friend, re a brand new girl, just entering the biz, who doesnhahaha8217;t have ANY pics, and if he sends her round, would mind shooting a couple of pics that she can use for promo, as a favour to him?
I say yeah, OK, so she turns up about half hour later, has a few outfits with her, one of then is nurse, and can I at least take a few of her, stripping out of that? Well, where I was I had various sets available, so off we trot down the long corridor to the room with the 'gyno table in it' half way down the corridor, I realize we are being followed by this hulking great fucking brute of a guy, approx 7 foot tall, and knuckles dragging in the carpet... I'm informed by the girl that this is her boyfriend, whohahaha8217;s just come along to check shehahaha8217;s ok...
Well, we are at the gyno room by now, and its only tiny as it is... and hehahaha8217;s like just stood, taking up more room than me and the girl together, completely in the way... i politely explain to him, that I cant shoot with him actually "IN" the room, but if he wants to take a seat outside, just around the corner, he will still be within calling distance should she need him, etc etc etc and please fuck off... Belligerently, he agrees and disappears.. Anyway the girls brand new, and slightly nervous, so to put her at ease, I begin shooting away, and lavishing lots of compliments etc, flash, yeah, thathahaha8217;s it flash, wow your great, flash, natural, pure natural, etc etc... After shooting about 50 or so shots, without even really focusing, she starts to loosen up, and we get going for real... Thathahaha8217;s it, take your top down a bit, flash, donhahaha8217;t wanna see nipps just yet, flash, squeeze em together, and Ihahaha8217;m now paying attention, and in order to get the shots that would do her the most justice, Ihahaha8217;m slowly stepping backwards towards the door, to get her all in, and suddenly...
Ihahaha8217;m flying backwards, my brand new 20D is heading up into the air, away from me, and just as i realize whathahaha8217;s happening, i feel the mother of all pains in the back of my head, and then a white flash... Before... Simply nothing...
OK, so at this point, you may well think ive been mugged or attacked or similar ? Nothing could be further from the truth.... Infact, the boyfriend had decided that in order ti 'watch the shoot' it would be a good idea to crawl along the floor like a snake, and was actually on his hands and knees, in the doorway.... As I stepped backhahaha8230; I fell over him...
Needless to say that was the last time, that I didnhahaha8217;t have full control of my set... and unsprisingly... It will NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN !
