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.

And if he even slightly hesitates, that’s a hard no

A friend/chaperone being present shouldn’t be an issue whatsoever to any professional (or decent amateur). Hell, they’d probably like having someone being on hand to hold personal items and a robe… one less thing they need to do

True. I like when there's another person - I just treat them as an assisant! :D that way they don't get bored as easily, because bored friend can sometimes be an issue.

Same. I treat tag-along friends and parents etc. as unpaid help. They typically love being involved.
