Models & their chaperones - Boyfriends?

[Xenedis]

Why not throw the BF in front of the camera, you might just find that males are just as interesting to photograph as females?

I did one shoot where the boyfriend of a makeup artist actually ended up posing.

He shouldn't be involved at all (unless you want him to be).

You're there to do a job. The model is there to do a job. The chaperone is there to stand quietly in the corner and not distract anyone. Shouldn't matter who they are in that case.

That said, I've never been on a shoot where a chaperone has been involved..

That pretty much sums it up.

Stipulate that boyfriends are not allowed as chaperons, and once they both arrive and the meet & greets are out of the way, make the chaperon comfortable in another room, nearby but out of the way. That way model feels safe and you're not hindered.

I've got a rule.
They can have a chaperon but they are not to talk or get in the way, the second they do they're out.
My girlfriend & I work together on shoots, shes also a photographer and having a female in the room seems to settle the model down most of the time, but if they feel they need someone they know in the room (parent, boyfriend, friend) I tell them that they are not to talk or get in the way and it can mean loss of payment because I won't get the shot I need.

I'm very hard in that way but when doing a shoot I'm the boss.
