DP is right. Just request very nicely that you need to concentrate on your shoots as you are building up your portfolio. Just let her know the shoot is very important to you lar. Since this is your second shoot, so she should feel a little more relax liao.

It happens sometimes................:bsmilie:
I don't think is her not comfortable with tdubs, it's the bf ... typical ... he is not comfortable, he is insecured, and he is an idiot
that is why he insisted on crashing her photoshoot ... simple as thattdubs must draw the line somewhere, and there is really no other way but to give it to the model straight up ... bf is not coming to the nexdt shoot
Well, I don't know what the fuss is all about. If a model already promises that his bf won't get in the way, and his bf has proven to you that he will not be in the way, then it is your own fault for not having enough courage to direct the model. I know which are the two models you guys are talking about. Personally, I don't have any problems with them.

eeeerm... I am currently in Vancouver, Canada, The models I am talking about are in here as well.
If I am not wrong, you are in Singapore.;p
First and formost, it's everybody's right to have another person around during a shoot. I would not say that they are unprofessional just because they show up with an escort, a little kiasu or kiase? Yes, but I can accept that.
A model have a right to have an escort during a shoot just as a photographer have a right to have a PA around during the shoot.
Let's flip the coin around, the model is the one who say, she's not comfortable with someone else in the studio, said it's her first shoot and she's shy, no MUA, no PA. Just you and her. I'm sure one of the things going through your mind is, "What's going on? Is she trying to set me up?" This cuts both ways.
This applies to both normal/causal and espically sexy/nude shoots.
What is important is, this have to be made known to both model and photographer first, before the shoot, during the planning stage.
I always tell the model the concept of the shoot. If they say they'll bring an escort for the shoot, I always make it very clear that I don't mind having another person around but that person must not get in my way or affect the shoot in anyway. If it happens either the escort will have to wait in another room or the shoot is off. The model must also convince me that she can work in the presence of her friend. Failling which, it's better to look for another model.
On the subject of comfort. As a photographer, the image is my main concern, not the escort. I'm not going to change my images because of someone not related to the shoot directly. As the photographer I have to take charge of the shoot, why should I let the b/f affect how I shoot? If the escort is affecting the shoot, making the model uncomfortable or getting in my way, I'll inform the model and ask the escort to wait in the next room.
It all boils down to how professional you project yourself to be. You may not be a professional photographer, but you still got to let people know that you're serious about the image, you know what you're doing and they can trust you to do a good job. The more you're uncomfortable about others, and it will show in your action, the more others will think "what is this guy so uncomfortable about? Is he up to something?"

I think that's the case.
If the b/f will affect the model even if he's in the other room, than the b/f can't come for the next shoot. She can bring another friend/girl friend maybe, but she'll have to wait in the next room. Other wise, the shoot if off.

you think too much and jump the gun lar :bsmilie::bsmilie:
BTW, TS already said that with the b/f around, the model was not comfortable, so the b/f is affecting the mood of the shoot, in other words, the b/f is getting in the way.
not here at least :sweat:
Just to share with you guys how some studio works
Many years back, while I was still a PA, my photographer was shooting a model whose b/f is a local singer. The photographer also knowa him as she's shot his CD cover before. The b/f turn up unannounced and the model was not too comfy about it. The photographer went up to the model to check if the b/f was affect her and once the model said yes, the photographer went to the b/f and requested him to wait outside as he's affecting the shoot. She than ask me to keep him company outside ( actually wanted me to make sure he didn't try to come back in ). :bsmilie::bsmilie:

if you do that to siam ns it goes on your permanent record...you're basically outted!
Happens alot, unfortunately ... not the escort problems, but insecured jealous bf problems.
That is why, the following escorts are not encouraged ... bf, father and brother ... in that order.
Many years ago, I am shooting an artistic nude session with this model, and the escort was her father, he totally lost it, was affecting the mood of the shoot. On one hand, he wanted leave becasue he knew he was causing problems, but then on the other hand, he is her daughter's father ... I can't remember how old was the model,b ut old enough, she was a uni student. Really funny thing though, he is an astistic nude photographer himself.
At the end, daughter told father to go to a movie and come back later ...
My case many years back when I was shareing someone else studio, was the les. lover, damn did she loss. I ask her to wait in the next room and she called the police!!! :angry::angry:
