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.

Well, looks like it depends on the country. Where I'm from, there wasn't a modeling agency that was focused on boudoir/nude for a long, long time. All other agencies were focused strictly on fashion, so there was no way to get a "pro model from agency" for a shoot other than fashion or maybe beauty. So while that's sketchy for you, it's less so for me. Except for stalking contacts, but we don't know if that actually happened.
