You're not the only one. There's even more skeeze in the context of how the pics were taken. Apparently they didn't tell Adam until the day that he would be posing with a naked woman and they plied him with champagne - but even more importantly, the model didn't know that she'd be posing naked until the photoshoot started. Overall, I'm a little sickened by how they were both manipulated into those photos.
And another thing that adds to her object-ness: She isn't a known person with a name and history and background. Part of hiring a model is that you purchase a blank body with no distinguishing characteristics apart from rigid conformity to (unrealistic) social body ideals.
