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.

A photographer reached out to me through social media asking me to shoot with him sometime. Although I’d love to have a shoot for myself, does this seem sketchy? He’s taken photos for friends i know and they said he seemed cool and laid back. They also mentioned that he took a while to send them their pictures and wouldn’t respond before sending them. Anyway, just wanted to hear some thoughts on this.

Photographers do reach out quite a lot. So, it’s not outright sketchy.

If it’s TFP then it’s an area where there is so much flakiness; models not turning up and photographers not delivering/taking forever. If you’re happy to wait and your friends spoke well of him apart from the tardiness/responses then go for it. But if you value promptness and don’t want to be jerked around find another photographer - you will find plenty on FB or model mayhem…but they’ll be potentially harder to vet.
