It's not always their fault, but sometimes the chaperon comes in with the wrong attitude entirely. You have to remember that they will be behind you, in a room full of expensive equipment that you paid for.

If he thinks that his job is, to "watch you to make sure you don't try anything," take the model aside and whisper for fifteen minutes at a time, ask more questions than she does, or threaten you at anytime with any sort of violence. "IE, if you say anything to her ... I'll hit you with that camera."

Call room service, ask for security also, pay them off, get out of there, or get them gone. No one should have to work under the threat of physical violence, no matter how well intended, or misplaced. Bear in mind it might just be a front for a Scam.

There are a lot of ways things can go wrong, and most photographers never talk about it cause we can't post annon.

But is a two way street, and Photogs have bad days too.
But never put up with a barely there BF.
You have too much to lose.
