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.
Not a huge red flag upfront, this is how a lot of people connect. However shooting boudoir with someone as a first shoot isn’t something I’m a huge fan of.
Definitely bring someone with you. If he’s against that it would be a giant red flag.
About taking a while to deliver pictures I would discuss beforehand what to expect. Both the number of pictures and the timeframe. Not responding to a request for a status update is a shitty thing to do. Clear communication is key, especially when doing something like boudoir.
