Working with a model
dolgachov:
indeed, i don't have any paid shootings and always refuse them. that's the way i do in photography. i have other buisinesses so photography never was even part-time job for me. always hobby and always pure pleasure, nothing more. i consider myself pro, but i never ever pressed a button for money and i want to keep it that way. that's why i only shoot those i want and only if they trust me. i have a long-long list of "if you're not ready to ..... - please don't even think about working with me". this list is the first thing i give to read to any new person pretending to get to my studio. maybe that's why i never have a problems with touches.
unlike you, i have a longer than month schedule. here and know it's June-July 2008. as long as i don't take any paid jobs ever, it's very comfortable for me to have it long - it's another good filter. i want to be sure those who finally get here are really ready to work so i apply as many filters as i can. monks use similar technique in Tibet and you could see something like this made by Tyler Durden in Fight Club.
1. it's the way i do, that's why i'm talking about it.
2. it's all not so very typical and it has nothing to do in common with hired models or hired photographers. that's why i told people should use your way, not mine.

i'm a bit confused with your "unexpected touch" theory. what's the shooting distance you use? i can tell you it would be really hard for me to touch a model and make it unexpected. in addition, i mentioned professional and friendly touches. these are not something you do from behind or without person noticing it. these are exactly the way you hug or shake hands.

sure i would. believe me i would. i guess where i live it's a major difference. it's absoluthely ok here to be touched by professional working with you. doctor, hairdresser, fitness instructor, make-up artist, photographer, trainer, lector, teacher.

I tried once to explain my first boss that I do not like him touching me. In friendly way. No use.
Lev, this is simply not true.

what is not true? i didn't speak about bosses. again you brang here bosses, not me. boss is not "professional working with you". in the case it was not clear, i will extend my sentance to "professional working with you as a subject". to make clear i'm not talking about colleagues or bosses. considering "friendly way" - i said "professional AND friendly way". not "professional OR friendly way".
once more: where i live it's absoluthely ok to be touched by professional working with you as a subject. doctor, hairdresser, fitness instructor, make-up artist, photographer, trainer, lector, teacher. to be touched professional and friendly way.
for example: i need a PASSPORT picture, i go to some small studio and photographer touches my hair to make my haircut look good or touches my shoulders to make me sit straight. it's ABSOLUTHELY accepted where i live as long as he does it professional and friendly way.

No, not weirdo... it's just what society has become, and I, for one, am just careful.

--- Конец цитаты ---
I do not speculate on subject, for example, how to make model trust you. If you will need a lawyer to defense you in sexual harassment case will you ask him how big his experience in photography is? I'm not a lawyer and I'm not giving a legal advice, just another example.
