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 are perverts out there and you should make sure you are comfortable with everything you agree to, including feeling safe and not being unwilling participant in someone's kinks.

But I'd just ask you not to assume all men are perverts. It just takes a small group of people to ruin the experience for everyone.

And it's not just men, I've dabbled in kink scene and met quite a few women with exhibitionism kink or worse. But they had no problem with finding people who were okay with that and often it was reframed as something else.
