A photographer reached out to me through social media asking me to shoot with him sometime. Although I’d love to have a shoot for myself, does this seem sketchy? He’s taken photos for friends i know and they said he seemed cool and laid back. They also mentioned that he took a while to send them their pictures and wouldn’t respond before sending them. Anyway, just wanted to hear some thoughts on this.

    Are you doing a lot of IG modeling? If so, then it’s not particularly sketch. If you’re not though and some photographer just reached out to you to randomly pose in your underwear, then I would maybe think twice.

    It sounds like this person might be what they call a GWC. That is an amateur or hobbyist photographer, usually a middle aged guy who photographs young “models” in skimpy clothes with mediocre lighting. They love boudoir and OFTEN refer to their low rent imagery as “art” even though it would be more classed as soft porn.
