Is my model partner cheating on me???
If your going to be a model there are a few ethical issues to consider when your booked for a shoot. It could be that you refuse to shoot partially nude, suggestive poses or modeling cigarettes. Well what about kissing another model? This is something to think about if your dating an insecure partner. Make sure you discuss this with your real partner before you accept these modeling jobs.
As a character model (model who acts) I was greeted by the art director at the studio and introduced to my on set boyfriend (another model). Is was an intimate scene of a happy couple spending time together. We were told to spend 30mins getting to know each other. In other words in order to make the photo shoot seem realistic we had to feel the chemistry with each other IMMEDIATELY. So we started talking and flirting with each other to find that spark for the shoot. We found it alright, he is a hot, cute guy. So when it came to the shoot we got it on right away.
However, I felt like I was cheating and couldn't help think about my husband. Holding very close poses, breathing on each other as the photographer re positions the lights. One scene can take up to an hour to shoot. Fashion models do it all the time and believe me the set gets very steamy.
Luckily my husband doesn't show up on set but I think it's odd that I get paid to kiss another man and not break my vows at the same time.
That night I felt strange to be around my husband after spending the whole day rolling around on set with another man and building a bond. Some models find it hard to leave the bond behind at the studio. The experience affects them and leaves them to day dream about the experience.
Then there are the simple couple shoots with less intimacy involved. Just fun happy shots with no pressure.
I must admit on some shoots it affected me but my husband is wonderful. He knows as a model I play the wifey role (always for some reason) BUT he made it clear as long as he doesn't see the pictures he is fine with it.
shhhh don't tell.
