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?

As an amateur photographer as well, what I did was ask friends. I made it clear from day one there were no nudes on the menu. Got some great portraits Again these were long term friends and I wasn't looking to burn bridges.

My ex wife and I also paid a photographer to take artistic semi-nudes / implied nudes of us.
