| I hope someone will reply and help me out a little bit. My boyfriend wants to be a photographer and is just starting out. Im having a hard time dealing with the fact that he is going to go out and take pictures of other girls barely wearing anything, and some pictures where they will be nude. This is something we used to do ourselves and we had fun, now he doesn't want to do it with me anymore. He keeps saying he needs his own space and this is something he wants to do and not have me involved. I don't know what to do or think. Im not sure how to support him.

I generally shy away from giving relationship advice or insight, but in this case I think the time is right. I always have the rule of if someone you love has a problem with you attending an activity either announced or unannounced then you have something to worry about.
It's not the photography aspect that is causing the issues, it happened to be the tool which is being used.
My wife had the same concerns with me in photography whether I was photographing models or while I was out in the field teaching my workshops, so I made every attempt to make the ability for her to attend every shoot or workshop so that she would see that i am keeping it professional and not turning it into a pick up gimmick.
Since then I have chosen on my own not to do the modeling photography any longer while I still will teach my workshops. I have made a personal professional rule never to lead a workshop by myself if i only have one other female participant.
To put myself in a situation that would raise doubt, would just be plain stupid.

| Well given a little hstory and the way he reacted and goes behind her back, the problem goes way beyond photography.

| the problem is not the photography, its probably not a problem at all, my boyfriend is a musician and i a photographer, we both want our creativity space and we trust each other with that spce. if you can't trust him, then there's your problem
