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?

There is a whole sub genre of amateur photographers and models. I hit up a couple of "workshops" that I thought were about making my photography better, and they ended up looking more like people building soft core spank bank content. Not that I would tell others that they can't have fun and do things like that...but it definitely wasn't my thing.

If you're looking for TF opportunities, be specific about what you will and won't do. Weed out the creepy stuff up front. Hopefully that gets you the right collaborators for you.
