I was on a recent trip to shoot a sizzle reel for a TV show. I really have the hots for one of the female talent. We really clicked and had some good vibes going on. However, I did not act on any of my romantic feelings and kept it strictly professional. A big reason being that if all goes well, all these shows that I have shot sizzle reels for with this company could provide me with lots and lots of work, and really help my production company grow. I did not want to begin a workplace romance with a bunch of production executives watching it happen. I feel like I made the right decision, but at the same time, it sucks to not be able to act upon it when cupid strikes.

How do you fellow cameramen deal with such feelings towards talent while keeping it professional?

Thanks!
