Strange Characters !

You meet all sorts of people in the modelling world from professional photographers to hobbyists and I love working with most of them , however occassionally you do come across the odd perculiar character .
Last summer I had the chance to work down in the south-west , basically I was on tour . Had some great weather , met and worked with some lovely people, but on one particular wet day I had an outshoot arranged . I turned up at the photographer's address and we decided to risk the weather and set off to some ruins to take a mixture of images predominantly artnude .
The shoot was going pretty well, dodging the rain, using an umbrella as a prop etc and at one point the photographer asked me to get a pair of boots from my car .
I couldnt have been away more than 10 mins, but when I got back to my amazement the photographer had set up his tripod ( no euphamism lol ), stripped off and was attempting a few poses himself using the timer . I hid, stood and watched for a few minutes it was rather amusing . As I approached the photographer he remarked he quite often liked to have a go himself , and could he have a few images of himself naked with me . My comments were kept civil, but that photographer model rapport I spoke about in my previous post was certainly not created in this shoot . I kept a very professional attitude for the rest of the shoot and even dutyfully dropped the photographer back home, but I was rather tempted to leave him there in the middle of rural Dorset in the rain !

This image was not taken by that particular photographer but by another one I worked with on an outdoor shoot down there and is a reminder of the sunny days of summer .
