Modeling Career

[Kolejdayz]

Although an older woman, my wife is still attractive and has been asked to resume her modeling career. When she was in her 20s she modeled clothes for catalogs and ads. It's always been an open secret between us that screwed a lot of the photographers and the male models. If she takes this new job, I wonder if she will go back to her old ways?

What a coincidence. I'm a retired photographer and I was thinking about getting back into some free lancing.
Maybe your wife and I can collaborate on a few pics.

LOL

Speaking as someone in a very similar position as your wife, even relatively tame photo shoots can be sexually charged. The more risque, the more tension there naturally is. Models and photographers or other models fucking is exceedingly common and old habits can be hard to break. One of my stories is based on a real life photo shoot incident from year ago but it was hardly the only one that happened.

I have had a few girlfriends who did modeling and all of them I think ended up in bed with their colleagues

Forgive my generalization, but certain professions (modelling, acting, performing) often come with egos that cannot be checked. I knew a woman who was in high school, college, and then community theater and fucked guys at every level. I think that was her "power".

My wife did some modeling for a high armature photographer on and around his race car . She knew him from where she worked and had mentioned him several times .

Before their session was over she had sucked him off saying " he had the biggest head I've ever seen " !

I modeled extensively through my school years and beyond. The work ranged from magazine ads, billboards, a little TV, and catwalks, as well as plenty of beauty pageants.

In my experience, it’s an extremely promiscuous ambience. The sex is non-stop and on tap - with other models, with studio staff, with assorted hangers-on. For me, it was rare the session that didn’t involve some sort of (consensual) sexual contact.

I loved it. You clearly won’t. Perhaps discuss this stuff with your wife until you’re both in a comfortable place.

I realize that a lot of men wouldn't want to know. Personally, I would want to know as much as possible

Ha ha! You sound wonderfully accepting and broad-minded.

I love my husband dearly. He even helped me produce content for my cam work. But when we first met, he made the silly mistake of asking me my body count and about my early sexual history.

He never asked again.

 

[Kolejdayz]

I am intrigued by women's sexual histories and they always turn me on. I have always enjoyed the company of models, etc., not just because they are pretty but because they have such interesting stories to tell. My first wife claims to have had 70 men (is that a lot) and loved telling me about her adventures, I loved hearing them

I come from a background where the women liked sex

I've often wondered what it's like to be a photographer taking pics of gorgeous women, especially if they're in their underwear or swimwear. Surely the know the effect they're having on him....

Speaking as a photographer I have found it ironic over the years that nude or partially nude photoshoots are less erotic than mere boudoir photography.

Definitely, I have one of an old GF modeling fully clothed that always turns me on

Right. Imagining what you might see is much more tantalizing than seeing it.

I have a different point of view...maybe two.
First, my mother helped run fashion shows in NYC and I was backstage for many of them from ages 8-14, or so. I learned a lot from that. When I got to college in the late 1970s and needed some extra cash—I had two jobs already—I turned to modeling and, primarily, runway shows in malls for prom and wedding wear. Being on the shy side, I didn't see much of anything in terms of sexual opportunities come from it. But in my junior year, I taught an evening course on modeling and, as I had hoped, some of the most beautiful women on campus signed up. Classes were fun as I pulled in other contacts to share their wisdom...photographer, make-up artist, agent. The one problem is that the women hated me because I had more make-up and better make-up than they did, and I knew how to use it! But I did get some fun dates from that class.
When I returned to L.A. a few years after college, I was pursuing acting work. Besides a few part-time jobs—bartender, software tester, background acting parts—I returned to modeling for extra money. But this time, as a nudist and comfortable with my body, I did some test shoots for underwear ads which led to a few gay-themed partial and full nude shoots. I certainly got hit on by a few male agents, but with AIDS running through Hollywood, I wasn't interested.
Fast forward about 25 years, I was doing more artistic work...oil painting, pen and inks sketches, photography. For about 4 years, I offered my 30-plus years of photographic experience to help aspiring models expand their portfolios with the condition that I could capture some artistic nudes to be used as subject matter for my art, for which I did pay them. In that time, I shot about 20 models, about half with previous experience. But with my past modeling experience and my unique approach as a photographer with experience on both sides of the camera, I was able to help several models break into the business with good success, but I also attracted a couple of famous adult industry models and a couple of Playboy models who wanted to work with me. And about 6 of these models did between 3 and 10 shoots with me.
In all of that time, I never crossed the line and propositioned a model, largely because I remembered my discomfort when someone tried to take advantage of me. But also because by not crossing that line, the models trusted and liked me. Some stayed at my place overnight so we could capture some night and daybreak shots. Others would lounge with me naked by the pool or beach sometimes. That trust of being professional and a friend, not a lech, helped us to create some really hot photos and portfolios.
Do I wish I had tried to bed some of the models? Yes, particularly one tall, busty blonde whom I lusted after. But in the end, I was happy with it all as it was, even if I never bedded a hot model.

Nice story.

The girls I know weren't forced to do anything. They were just amused and horny and wanted some fun

Attitude people, please. The only issue I ever had was at a test shoot with a photographer for a hair shampoo commercial. I had been referred specifically by my hair stylist who was nationally known and used a certain brand's products exclusively. The shoot was for that brand. He told me that I had the job. After a Polaroid few photos the photographer told me that I needed to take my top off, then my bra. When I asked why he, muttered some bullshit response about how things got shot. He was just so obvious and creepy.

I knew what the fuck was going on, but I took my top and bra off anyway stuck my chest out and yelled at him to "fuck off" then quickly turned and grabbed my top and bra and covered myself before he took a photo. The whole time I continued yelling at him. I was so pissed off. The last thing I yelled at him as I was leaving was that I hoped he got a good look becasue he wasn't adding my pictures to his collection.

I didn't get the job, and didn't say anything to the stylist. He called me a couple of days later surprised and asked what happened, so I did. He was quietly apologetic and asked what I wanted to do about it. Hah, ha! Even though I didn't do anything other relate the story, the photographer did get fired from the shoot.

Btw, I modeled a lot wearing not much. Could I have fooled around? Yes. But that was the only time anyone did anything creepy. Maybe that's because I came across as a bitch. I don't really know. Some people get taken advantage of because they are afraid of what will happen if they don't go along. Other fuck around willingly.

To the OP. It doesn't sound like your wife falls into the former. You have a trust issue. If your wife wants to play, she will. Don't blame the industry.
