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.

More than that almost, it’s just a safe idea in general. I used to do a few shoots a year for work as an amateur who could get the job done. I used to lead any talent outreach emails with the request that they bring someone along for everybody’s comfort. Like so many people said, that’s a very big, bold line that is simply too easy to enforce if you’re legitimately only interested in the work.
