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.

As a former professional photographer myself, my first word of advise to aspiring models always was, never accept a shoot when you are solicited/approached directly by the photographer themselves. 9/10 it will just turn out to be a creep just wanting to have photographs of you in varying degrees of sexual nature or worse, might want to make a move on you at your most vulnerable moment.
Real pros are approached by the incumbent aspiring model or a modeling agency.
Upvoting this.
I think a lot of the downvotes are coming from non-professional male photographers who solicit young women on social media for boudoir shots, and they're feeling attacked.
Yeah, must've hit a nerve there... good!
If my humble piece of advise ever serves to prevent someone from suffering some kind of mental or physical abuse from an ill intended person during one amateur photoshoot experience then I am all for it.
Complete nonsense!
LMAO. Read the update and then call my post nonsense again. 🤣
