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.

I'm a new photographer and I see groups that have traveling models that pose in lingerie and bathing suits etc. I see you have to pay to shoot them which is not a problem but what do photographers do with the photos?

How do photographers make money of Implied nude photos?

How do joggers make money of running around? How do people make money of watching sports on tv etc etc.

The truth is that photography is just a hobby, with a net loss of money for a lot of people. This can make it a bit hard/problematic to navigate if you are wanting to do it commercially as you often find yourself on two different planets when discussing photography with someone. They might be in the business of buying very fancy gear and take crappy photos of hired models while you might want to do something else. After a while you get better at spotting the marks that shows if it is a hobbyist or someone wanting to make money (both types are more than okay).
