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.

I just read the edited update.

1000% called it. Fucking creep. I wonder who the hell all of these upvoters are saying it's normal to make unsolicited offers of free semi-nude photo sessions to strangers.

An open ended offer for TFP is one thing (though still weird for intimate shots), direct offers is something else entirely.

Agreed! Plus there are so many photographers out there some just claim they are and some are legit and there's many that do boudoir she could easily find another and get that done or contact for modeling many advertise on their page.
