Hi all!So for context my boyfriend photographs as a hobby and also does some gigs he gets paid for (mostly for free). We have been together for 6 months (long distance, we see each other about every other weekend) but we have known each other for 3 years. He has never been anything but lovely, considerate and loyal to me. Things are going great, but there is this one issue that I'm not sure how I should feel about and I thought that maybe you guys could help me get some perspective.One time he went to photograph for a business where he had to take photos of women wearing swimwear. He did not know this beforehand and didn't tell me right after, but he did send me the photos that he took. That's when I told him that I would like to know if he has to photograph women in bikinis. I would've been okay with it of course but I just want to know. Also I told him that I would not be comfortable with him taking boudoir pictures etc. which he isn't into fortunately.Today he is doing a photoshoot for a female artist who is also a very good friend of his. I have met her before and she is very nice and kind, also very beautiful. My boyfriend just sent a cover photo that he took for her album, and she is topless in the photo. Not showing anything but her upper back and her face, but clearly topless. This makes me somewhat uncomfortable to think that she has been topless around him and also photoshoots are pretty intimate in general. He did another shoot with her earlier this week where she was only in her panties and a t-shirt, didn't feel great but I didn't say anything.Am I in the wrong to not feel 100% okay with this? It's not that I'm angry or that I would say no if he would ask me if it would okay, since of course the artist has to get photos that she wants and ultimately it's his job. I would just like him to ask his clients beforehand what sort of photos they are looking for and then we can have a discussion if there needs to be boundaries set. Not that he just takes topless photos of his friends and sends them to me like it's nothing (is it nothing though?).Any advice or perspective is very welcomed, thank you so much! via /r/photography https://ift.tt/2cNgjWl
