Hi! Apologies for the silly question… a semi-professional photographer offered to do a shoot with me. However, didn’t mention a price when I asked what was needed from me & their general process. I have never been photographed before… (& I would obviously tip regardless if it’s a free shoot or not…) I just feel a little confused? If you reach out and offer to shoot somebody is it generally for your portfolio/free? I should add it is boudoir style photographer- & while I ironically had intentions of hiring him in the near future, he reached out first…? Thanks all! I am aware I could directly ask I fear I’m bad at picking up social cues & don’t want to come across as unintentionally naive
Don’t worry about asking - ask them anything you need to know. It’s not about not picking up on social clues as these can be misleading, so for clarity and your own ease of mind you need to ask. If the photographer gets irked that you are asking them questions then bail out on them.
p.s. take someone with you to the shoot.
