You might be asking yourself this question about now. The answer is fairly easy to determine, you just need to be a bit honest with yourself, and it more or less boils down to "should I be spending my money on camera equipment or on lap dances at the local strip club?"
You may be a GWC if:
- You take your wallet to the pre-shoot meeting instead of your portfolio
- Your studio is a bedsheet hung up in your apartment
- Most of your shoots include a bed, but you don't shoot for Sears
- The sheets are never changed
- You find yourself saying "all the fashion models pose
topless"
- Or "let's see what it looks like with one more button undone"
- Or "try this one on, I think it will show off your figure better"
- "Make love to the camera baby"
- "Can you do your own makeup?"
- You figure the model will enjoy a nice glass of wine to start off
- You own a collection of lingerie that doesn't fit your
wife... or you
- You figure "lighting" means pop up the camera flash
- And "creative lighting" means turn on the table lamp
- You have 234 models and 3 poses in your portfolio
- None of those models has ever asked for a print
- None of those models are male
- You don't allow escorts because they distract the model
- You figure it's your job to tuck those puppies back into that skimpy top
- You call breasts "puppies"
- You spend the entire shoot with an erection
