Hello! I think this is my first post, so tell me if I'm doing anything wrong.
My hobby/passion is photography. I do any sort of photography: landscapes, still life, macros, portraits, and so on. I was recently assigned the task of photographing a young lady who wanted to be a model. This would be my first time photographing a person for an assignment. The pictures came out technically well (lighting, composure, colors, and so on), and she was very attractive. I did not photograph her nude or anything of that sort (and I pray to God that I never will let lust overcome me to that extent.) The pictures I took were not seductive.
Was what I did sinful? The Bible says not to lust. By creating those pictures, I felt a small lust come over me. Am I overreacting? Am I taking the Bible way too literally?
On one hand, I was creating lust. (Or was I?)
On the other hand, I was doing her a favor.
What do you think?
