Emerging Photographer or Perv?

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months
We have a friend who just took up photography in the last year as a "hobby". I am all for hobbies but his main subjects are young women who want bikini shots or playboy audition shots (nekkid). The other day DH jokingly said that he is going to be his "spotlight assistant". I was not amused.

I would not be cool w/ my husband or SO taking naked pics of young women in our home but his wife claims to be totally cool with it. Meh....to each their own. Would you be ok with your husband taking naked pics of other women in your home? I should add that they have a 2 1/2 year old daughter but, as far as I  know, she has never been anywhere near the "photo shoots". Who knows...maybe I am just jealous b/c he makes money living out his porn fantasies from the comfort of his own home. Now if someone would only pay me to Bump...

    I'd have an issue with that because its kinda grody.

    DH went to art school and had to sketch nude models, but that's totally different. It's learning about the human form, not taking skanky photos of wanna-be porn stars.

    I think if it was provocative imagery then yes, I'd have to question some things on that.

    On the flip side, I took three different drawing classes in college that involved (live) naked women as a subject and the class was always 50/50 men to women.  All the guys were very respectful, some seemed uneasy by having a naked subject shedding their clothing. 

    I think a woman stripping down for a chance to be the next bunny would make me uneasy with his decision.

    I know lots of girls who have had these photos done, including myself (DH took mine) and it's not as skanky as you think.  The girls are pretty much covered up except when the photo is being taken.  You can't see much except boobs (unless they are actual porn shots being taken - then that's a different story).

    My DH is into photography and I told him to take some pics of girls as practice because we know so many that want them done.  I have absolutely no problem with it.  I trust him completely.

    If my husband took up photography- fine, good for him and I would help him and back him up.

    If my husband took up photography and only took pics of playboy wannabees and girls that should be on a calendar in a biker garage. No. I would not be standing beside him.

    I'm sure it's legitimate, but sometimes people get attached to people who help them "break into the business" or seem like they could (hence the stories of people hooking up with producers, photogs, professors, etc).

    I have no issues with the idea of someone making money by taking naked pictures. Some people are good with flowers, others babies, some just make naked ladies look good in pictures. However, I think doing it out of his home is grody. To me, that's something that needs to be done with the utmost professionalism, and alone in your garage is just not professional, IMO. Some of those girls will do anything to get into the business, and when the business is porn ... and if they think someone can help ... I wouldn't be cool with DH doing that unless I was his assistant and with him at every shoot.
