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?

Perverts by your standards, yes. Definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, but the art world is varied and wild. Asking for dick pic photos in a Xmas shoot model call is definitely out of line. A simple “do you shoot explicit content” is actually fine IMO, just be careful and vet them well if interested in taking on the job. Also 27 isn’t young, hate to break it to you.
