| Vas Model | I was just reading a thread created by a model who had unfortunately worked with a creepy and disrepectful photographer. What surprises me is that so many people call this 'unprofessional' and tell others that they, in contrast, are 'professional' in their conduct. Can we please use other words here? Professional has nothing to do with anything here - it doesn't matter whether you're in a professional environment or not, the rules don't change. I don't class basic decency as professionalism. So how about using: Decent Respectful Polite Reasonable Civil Considerate Gracious Courteous Thoughtful Or any of the other words that actually apply to a situation where, in most instances, neither of the people involved are actually professionals but still act like decent human beings. /rant |

| mattharper Photographer  Location United Kingdom Devon Paignton | I often moan about the use of the word professional when used as a description of behaviour. Respect and decency are what matter, no fancy words needed for that. Comfort and safety should be taken for granted, sadly, this isn't always the case but that has nothing to do with professionalism. One of the best photographers on here was outed recently for being far, far from decent, the title has nothing to do with behaviour and that is where the confusion reigns |

| kenp Photographer  Location United Kingdom Dorset Weymouth | Claims of 'professionalism' are like claims to 'GSOH', they usually signify the very opposite. |
