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.
This is the ultimate end-all-be-all red flag for any professional photographer. If they don’t want anyone else but you there, run in the opposite direction. Even if it’s in good faith, you never want to put yourself in a position where you don’t have a safety net there with you at all times.
