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.
I think the issue lies with you, there’s nothing sketchy about it. Like many have said if you don’t feel comfortable don’t do it, also if you do decide to do it, bring a friend. But simply reaching out is not sketchy and if I was the photog and found out you thought that was sketchy I wouldn’t be working with you at all. You seem more sketch to me than the photog reaching out. Now if something was said that’s sketchy that’s different.
