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.
You got marketed to, nothing particularly sketchy.
That’s probably how he found your contact information, through friends-of-friends connections on social media.
Your friends vouched for the photographer as legit. Take up the marketing offer or not, the photographer doesn’t care.
