Photography

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 boudoir photographer reached out to me for a shoot. Does that seem sketch? (alien.top)

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.

I would do that from time to time when it was a friend of a friend/client situation. There’s nothing inherently bad or sketchy about by itself. If he’s charging you, he’s just drumming up business. If he’s offering TFP or something, he may just like your look. That’s not to say there’s zero chance he may ask you out afterwards, but that’s just interactions between people in general. Don’t expect it to happen.
