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.

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.
