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.

Definitely vote for bringing a friend. It’s good practice, and I would almost insist on it as a condition. Having that third party protects both subject and photographer by eliminating “he said, she said” to a certain degree. Besides it’s also that extra pair of hands to assist the subject with makeup, wardrobe changes and other little things we don’t necessarily think of. While shooting I may ask for help holding reflectors or moving a light.
