Question: Photographers question!.!.!.!?
When a photographer does a photo shoot with beautiful models in bikinis or nude (like in America's Next Top Model or for men's magazines) do they get turned on by looking at the model!? Or are the photographers, for the most part, gay!? Because they seem so poised, like, it's their sister in a bikini or something, you know!? They don't seem fazed by it! So what's their trick!? And how come the photographers who are married, like Nigel Barker from ANTM, doesn't cheat on their wives w/ the models!? I always thought that male fashion photographers are somewhat unfaithful to their spouses b/c they are constantly surrounded by beautiful women (same for female photographers who shoot hot guys for magazines!)!. Or what goes through the photographer's mind when shooting a model!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

it's all about being professional and respectful!. It's a job, just because they look good doesn't mean you have to jump on them or try to pick them up, that's a very bad career move to try to hook up with your models!. Besides working around models all day you get kind of immune to it, so you don't think of it in the way you are thinking we do!. I can appreciate a beautiful body/person, but that's about as far as it goes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am a photographer part time and a firefighter paramedic full time!. I assure you I am interested in women off the job, In fact my wife says I look too much!. But when I am working either of these jobs I am a professional!. I stay professional when I am treating a patient and do not get aroused!. In fact it would be unethical for me to and society accepts that as a given and in fact expects no less!. Why would it be hard to understand that a person could be just as professional when taking photographs!. The models I have worked with have been hard working professionals also that deserve my treating them with respect!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

They must have alot of will power to resist cheating, like you said!. As far as the photographer being gay who's to say whether that is or isnt true, you'd probably have to ask one and that may be a personal question!.

If your married and in that career then you must have some very good ethics/morals and some serious will power to resist something like that, I agree!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think that they are professional for the most part and view it as a job so as not to be tempted!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think that not as much cheating would happen as you think!. Im sure, there is probably some!. And not all male photographers are gay!.!. and even if they were there wouldn't be cheating with other men as much as i think you think there would be!. Its more professional when you shoot someone!. They are your client!. Gynos don't get arroused when doing whey they do all day!. also I think alot of times the nude body gets taken out of perspective when shooting it, especially if its for art!. The person is just a "subject" not a "hot naked person"!. Its about the light hitting the persons skin and the curves of their body form!. At least this is how I feel!. Im a photographer!.
