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.

Trust your instincts. Don’t work with a boudoir photographer you don’t trust 100%.

I’ve had several photographers proposition me and one of them came off as super sketchy & wanted me to sign a release. So not comfortable! A photographer with a solid portfolio renting out a air bnb for a hour or two while the female homeowner was also home 100% comfortable. Listen to your gut!

Model releases are pretty standard. I would be more concerned if there was one in place.
