He must think youre beautiful to be going out with you. Try not to let this worry you, its only his job at the end of the day. Tell him how you feel and get some reassurnce.

Consider why it is that your boyfriend wishes to be with you. I'm sure he's told you how much he thinks of you and I bet him photographing beautiful women is simply just a job to him that he doesn't think of in the way that you may be considering. I know how difficult this is but you could talk to your boyfriend and explain to him how you feel. I'm sure he will reassure you that you have nothing to be concerned about.
It would take quite a cool individual to not feel a little bit threatened by their partner's profession if it involved the opposite sex in this way. Do consider, however, ways of building your confidence and self esteem. Remember also that beauty is not only in the eye of the beholder but is also skin deep (excuse the cliches).
I'm sure your boyfriend thinks you are beautiful and adores who you are as a person. Just ask him.
