Oh and no names have been changed to protect the innocent/guilty/ or passers by because I'm not going to say any :-)
Anyway, yes it was way back when I had my first DSLR, my kit could fit in only a small bag and studio work was still a distant dream, I was trying to decide on a direction for my portfolio and what kind of photography I wanted to get into.
There was a girl who worked at the same place I did who was into modelling and offered to do some photos with me so I could improve my portfolio, get some experience and she could get some shots too ( hopefully).
So we had two shoots, one outside at a ruined abbey and one inside. I was happy with the results and both shoots were perfectly innocent.
However I had forgotten how quickly things can change in the workplace rumour mill.
So I was surprised to hear that the shoots had turned into "artistic" shoots.
Which seemed strange to me, but then things got weirder.
They then changed into me taking nude pictures of her. Which I found astonishing but the rumour mill upped the ante.
The final complete rumour was that I had been taking nude pictures of her in my secret underground photography studio.
Of course what no one was ever able to explain to me when I pointed out the flaws in the scenario was
- If I had a photography studio why would I be working at my current workplace?
- If I had a photography studio why would it be secret?
- If I had a secret photography studio why would I tell people I was doing work in a secret photography studio?
- Why would I have a photography studio underground?
It was probably the one time I ever wished a rumour about me was true!
I would love to be doing regular work in a studio anyway, let alone own my own studio!
Maybe one day!
