Expert Answer

Establish clear and open communication with your model. Discuss boundaries and expectations beforehand, and encourage them to voice any concerns they may have. Throughout the shoot, be respectful of the model's comfort levels. Check-in regularly to ensure they feel at ease and address any issues that may arise. Always ask for consent before making any adjustments or suggestions. Also, take the time to genuinely get to know your model and show interest in their experiences, preferences, and reasons for participating in the shoot. This can help build trust and rapport, creating a more relaxed and collaborative atmosphere. Lastly, maintain your professionalism at all times, treating the model with dignity and respect. Avoid making any inappropriate comments or gestures, and ensure that the model feels safe and valued throughout the entire process.

What happens if a female photographer wants me to have erection during the photo session?

Community Answer

If you are comfortable with that, try to think of something that arouses you. If that makes you uncomfortable, request that she finds a new model.
