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.

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.
