Photography

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.

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?

Open minds are great and when you’re starting out you hate to turn down business, but I think most or all of these guys are perverts. Dudes who ask young women to take photos of their junk are thinking about sex, whether it’s some faulty “if I get her alone with my junk she’ll want to have sex” logic or just enjoying having women look at their junk.

You should 100% feel free to accept or decline this stuff.
