I'd like to ask a question of those of you who shoot....
I have been offered jobs modeling, and I feel uncomfortable if I am not given "permission" to bring along a chaperone, which typically is my husband. He doesn't interfere, and usually stays within earshot, but out of view.....but unless the prospective photographer can give me very reliable credentials, I certainly couldn't say it feels safe to go meet a stranger and shoot.
How do you expect a model to ensure her own safety without a chaperone?
I'm not talking about this particular incident that started this thread, but I mean in general....
There is no way my husband will allow me to go to a shoot without him. He's not trying to interfere...he knows I will not do anything he wouldn't give me his blessings for...but he wants me safe. Sometimes it's a drag...I've lost a few jobs because of it; but I am very aware of the dark side of humanity, and I do not want to put myself in a situation that could easily turn me into a victim.
