3/3 few more things
Do not post your work of them on social media or any platform without their consent. Bring an assistant too, so if she turns around and tries to sue you for revenge porn, you have a witness. Been there and done that too, she quickly fucked off once my lawyer got involved.
And for the love of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and all that is noodly, have some god damn hygiene, take a shower, put some smelly shit on before you shoot. Treat it like a job interview, dress nice. I've heard some horror stories from people I've worked with.
Keep the ball in their court. Show them examples of what you want to do "Are you okay with this" "Are you comfortable with this" "Strictly professional" "It's okay to say no"
This is a big one, DO NOT TOUCH THEM.
>>>>>>>DO NOT TOUCH THE GOD DAMN FUCKING MODELS<<<<<<<
They are perfectly capable of posing themselves and moving their limbs, they don't need your help. I don't care if you had someone come on to you on set, work and pleasure should be separate. Don't shit where you eat. Do not touch them, I don't care. If you can't direct people to pose you have no business working with models, go do a workshop or something hosted by someone with some experience first if that's you.
Do you know why Bunny Yeager got so many clients and shot so many nudes in the 50s and 60s? She's a woman and women knew she wouldn't take advantage of them, she even said it herself. You want your model to feel comfortable working with you, she needs to trust you first and know you won't try to show her your pp.
There are three kinds of people shooting nudes, morticians, photographers and GWCs, which one are you?
