Yesterday, after a couple of beer, it happened again...
First time was in 2005 before the days of Morre Photography's now pretty funky models' database. A model sent me an email to our modelsearch email saying she was interested in working with me. I browsed through her specified data and looked at the included pictures of a pretty fit, beautiful, 18 year's old blond girl with seemingly newly invested breast. When looking at her topless pictures an eerie feeling arrived...
"Her name... Her surname... That is the same as my first chairman of the board in my former company Roxen. Could it be? Nah? She lives in this city but do they live on the same address?"
So I checked her up on the yellow pages .
"Pheew! She does not have the same address as him."
A couple of days later I bumped into here down town and after addressing her almost the first thing she says is :
"Yeah, and you know my dad!"
Gaaah! This was her! The little girl I have been playing with at my colleagues house, riding on my shoulders laughing was now grown up, standing in front of me ten years later! Some fuses blew in my head! It is just... weird!
It's like: Does her dad knows about her doing topless pictures?
And the mindset as her as the little innocent, shy girl laughing on my shoulders do not mix at all with the trying-hard-to-be-sexy girl in front of me.
And yesterday it was time again. I was getting home with my friends after a couple of beers, Morre on stage singing karaoke, and the late night kebab when I heard someone calling.
"Morre! Morre!"
I turned around and an 18 year's old blond girl was smiling towards me so I approach her.
She says "Hi!" and she probably see my confused face so she then says "I am xxx" and telling me here name.
The problem is I am horrible with names! I cannot remember them!
But she had a pretty unusual name, so after repeating it and saying the magic words "My dad is XXX" i finally got it.
Oh! Once again pictures of me playing with a little kid rushes over me. I guess it was twelve years ago I saw her at a dinner at my colleague's house, and played with her having fun. She was 6 then!
I learned over the years so this time I do not show at all what is going on inside my, just making some jokes about it, and she continues:
"I wanna take nude pictures or at least really sexy ones! Or nude! I have a friend, I want her to join to! We can be naked both. Yeah, I already had sex with her."
For me it's fine. I have seen everything, heard everything and experienced a lot, and during a shoot it is just work.
So I guess I could help here and her probably also 18 year's old friend.
Or... Well you know... Her dad would kill me if I do!!!
So what should I do? I mean, everyone that is 18 or older has the right to make their own decision and why should not people I know be able to get good pictures. On the other hand that would be risking my friendship with my old colleague.
What is right? Tell me.

PS. The title is one of my favorite standard jokes. Why not try it yourself:
If someone yells at you "WHAT have you done!?" and you have no idea what they are talking about, just shout back "She said she was 18!"
Or if someone wakes you up on the sofa just sit up straight and shout the same.
Works every time. :-)
This is the first one I am talking about. Yup, we did shoot and she is still funny and lovely.
