It's usually just me and the model (or models), for now anyway. I'm not a fan of any sort of distractions or extra bodies, and the privacy helps the girls as well... since most of them are amatuer models that are quite new to the biz.
My old outfit had the policy, for legal reasons, to never have only one person alone with the model, and doubly so if there was a chaperon with the model (BF or friend). I never looked into the matter more in details.

OTOH, I like to have an assistant on stage. A unconspicuous gofer is very handy to move a light, to empty the datacards, to fetch batteries, to help for changing the decor between sets, etc.

A peculiarity: one third of girls openly admit to hate it when another woman (bystander, not a model herself) is present during the shoot. It seems that they don't like the judgmental attitude of other women.
