Many years ago as a young man I was living in South Spain.
My girlfriend said that we were going to have some visitors - a real blokey bloke and 6 very attractive young women turned up, one of them his wife, a model, the rest also models.
Turned out that he was a builder, the building trade was in recession so his wife told him to buy a camera, and while he learnt how to use it she taught him how to pose models for slightly down market glamour magazines.
They made a fortune, and left this young lad very envious.
I did get to help with one shot, of a couple of mating tortoises.
Think I'd have preferred to be involved in some of the other shoots.
