Question about etiquette of shooting models

[sdo]

I was at a recent model shoot and I took a picture of a model while she was not "modeling". She was just standing there, but I loved the shot... this is the shot:

I liked the dress and the boats in the background... I sort of thought this was the image of the "trophy wife/girlfriend" admiring the expensive boats and yachts.

But... being that this was really my first model shoot, I started wondering if I'd violated an unspoken code of ethics by taking / posting that shot. Thoughts? Personally, I think it's OK in this case. If I was sneaking a shot of a model in a highly unflattering position or exposing more than she'd intended to expose, then that would be a no-no. But this? OK or not OK?

Thanks,
Steve

It's just a candid. I think it makes her look a bit thick in the middle but that's neither here nor there ethically.

I'm asking more about etiquette than ethics. I have no issue with it ethically, and I agree... just a candid. But at a model shoot, is it "bad form" to publish photos that were taken when the models weren't "modeling". I would think that in model photography, reputation of the photographer and rapport with the models are important attributes. Does taking and publishing a candid affect those attributes?

You're seriously over-thinking this.

I agree that you are overthinking it. Especially given that you cant see her face and havent identified her in any fashion. If you took a candid of her with an eye twitch grimace and named her then it might be more apt.

OK, fine. Like I said... I'm new at the model shooting thing. I didn't want to over-step any unspoken bounds.

You're seriously over-thinking this.
