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.

The majority of dudes who do that kind of photography are creeps with most of the remainder being hobbyists (who May or may not be creeps). There’s very little market for that work professionally… especially non commissioned.

Still, in the end it’s up to you. If you want those photos taken of you for some reason then it’s a free way to get that done. But make sure you are 100% comfortable with the dude or bring someone with you.
