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.

I used to use OMP when I shot, it;s pretty easy to weed out the fakes, i'm guessing your not interested in artsy crap for their portfolios, I would just put in your bio looking for paid assignments and you'll also get a good idea of the photographer from their work. if their work sucks, you probably don;t want to work with them.
