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.

Are people perverts or is this a market gap? (alien.top)

hi all! I'm a a 27 year old woman, I recently started photography. I have an Instagram page, I also post in local TFCD groups looking for models so I can practice.

in the past month, more weird people have found me than normal ones. I had one dude who was asking for artistic very close up dick pics, who was clearly nuts so I declined. yesterday I posted to a group looking for a model for a Xmas studio slot I have, and of course within a few hours some guy messages me looking for artistic nudes.

is this a market gap here? or are they just perverts looking to make a move just because I'm a young woman? have you had any similar experiences?

They don’t want photos. They want to make you uncomfortable. They get off on the enquiry/on messaging you.

I’m in a women photographer community in the uk and there’s a few blocked numbers for guys who call photographers up to ask for increasingly sexual photoshoots and then masturbate on the call when the photographer gets uncomfortable with the request. Unfortunately blocking the number only goes so far because they can just call on withheld.

Basically, welcome to being a woman in a public space 🙄 I hate it here
