Any advice you guys can give me to weed out the fakers and the creeps from the serious photographers?
A lot of them want to "shoot me for their portfolio" and I'm thinking Are you going to pay my rate just so you can put some pics of me in your portfolio?!
and some are like "artistic nude" photogs, not XXX, which I CAN do, but it's not really WHAT I do, ya know.
Aalyah, my wife was a witness in a murder case from OMP, Definitely do your background check on these guys. They are mostly perverts that want to exchange Photos for your book and their portfolio so they can get free pleasure.

They are not all bad, but do your homework and never go to a shoot alone if you have never worked with them before.
