A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

How to find people for portrait photography? (alien.top)

I’ll be honest and say that I don’t necessarily have many close people around me. Nor do I have a huge portfolio that would make people interested to pose for me. This means I’m kinda just alone when it comes to photography. Yet, I want To experiment with portrait photography to learn and make myself a portfolio. I can’t really take pictures of myself either considering I plan on using an old 1970’s film camera when it comes to portrait. Though, I do have a digital one with remote control functions, but that one won’t be nearly as immersive. What are your suggestions?

Offer free shoots in your local community Facebook groups. Keep the guidelines clear - you choose the place (choose a safe, public place like a park), the time (just before sunset is good), the duration, and they must agree for you to use the photos in your portfolio. They get copies of the photos in return.

Aka "time for print", right?
