In the opening act, Hemmings is late for a shoot at his own studio which causes a delay for other shoots later scheduled for that afternoon. This proves that as a professional photographer he simply does not care and that everything revolves around his timing. In addition, he leaves the models and production staff in the dust as he grew bored and fleas the scene. Hemmings ignorance certainly shines during the course of the film. For example, as Hemmings photographs strangers in a park, he quotes, "It's my job. Some people are bull-fighters. Some people are politicians. I'm a photographer." This represents the fact that his career as a photographer makes it acceptable for him to treat women the way he does and that it is a part of his job to do so. When the women whom he photographed comes up to him claiming her privacy and tries to grab the camera, he responds with "What's the rush? Don't spoil anything, we've only just met." This symbolizes that Hemmings assumed that the women desired sex right of the back, even though that is far from what she wanted. As this film revolves around sexual content, Hemmings is blunt about his thoughts, specifically to the women in his life. In particular, during an investigation, Hemmings mind is taken away from an investigation due to a distraction by two women who stop by his studio and one of the first things he says is, "What do they call you in bed?" A question like this is only asked by someone who is egotistical, which is exactly what Hemmings is. He treats women as if they are dolls and does not show an ounce of respect towards them. This provides us with how highly he thinks of himself, as if he can do whatever he wants and does not care about anyone else. Multiple times throughout this film it shows Hemmings dominance and hangs it over everyone he comes in contact with. .
