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.

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 think there’s a fairly large chance you’re encountering creeps, but I also think there is a market gap.

There’s entire subs of women ridiculing men’s nudes as low effort and not artful. I’m inclined to believe some men feel insecure about theirs and don’t know how to take pics of their junk that women would like.

I’m not saying the consenting woman won’t like it, but a penis alone ain’t the most attractive organ. Paying a pro to take them and set them up “right” could be their answer.

There’s also a double standard with boudoir among photogs. So, you’re probably encountering a mix.

But I’ve been told the bulge is more attractive than the organ. I’ve also been told to take it at certain angles.

Idk, by the individual.
