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?

I shoot boudoir and one of the local Facebook groups they found a sex offender in the group. The mod that runs the group band this person.

I do boudoir for a few reasons one good money to be made. Two I don't have to run around like a animal like at a wedding and be out in the heat and drive around all day long.

Shoots are about a hour and a half and I still have the rest of the day to myself.

I can work year around with boudoir unlike weddings and senior portraits.

Also I have other interest other then photography so I can make good money to fund other ideas I have.

As a photographer what I hate is the hustle of always finding work. It just does not come to you and you have to learn marketing and stuff.
