(If you’ve been in the industry for at least a week, you’ve surely met some “photographers”. To help you understand their coded languages I’ve created this mini-dictionary. Enjoy and never get tricked into something creepy again!)“I only shoot in natural light.”TRANSLATION: I have no idea how light works or how to use studio equipment.“I would like to shoot you in your personal environment.”TRANSLATION: I have no budget to rent a studio or book a hotel room. And, of course, I can’t shoot at my place (my wife’s at home with our baby and she doesn’t know I take pictures of naked girls).“I’m working on a series about female masturbation. I’d like you to forget about me and the camera. It’s very important that it’s all genuine and real. It’s for art, you know.”TRANSLATION: I’m single (or have been married for 25 years) and my sex life is non-existent. Seeing a girl pleasure herself in front of me is the closest I can get to getting laid.“I don’t like directing models. Just do your own thing.”TRANSLATION: I have no idea how to direct a model. And I don’t give a fuck about how the photos turn out. Most importantly, I get to see a naked girl. Poses and angles? Who cares?!“What are your limits and conditions?”TRANSLATION: Are you willing to pose in the most provocative way till I get hard and then let me fuck you while I snap a couple of shit quality pictures, then cum all over you and snap a couple more?“You don’t need to wear any makeup and I never work with MUAs.”TRANSLATION 1: I don’t understand a thing about makeup. Girls in magazines aren’t wearing any. That flawless skin, perfect eyebrow, long lashes, rose cheeks and juicy lips are all natural, aren’t they? It totally doesn’t take like 2 hours to get the look, does it?TRANSLATION 2: You can wear a paper bag over your head if you wish. All I want to see is your boobs, your ass and, if I’m extra lucky, a close up of your pussy.“Would you accept to shoot a duo?”TRANSLATION: I want to fuck you. The second person is obviously not another model, it’s me. I had no pussy in a while. Escorts are too expensive. Plus a model won’t mind if I take pictures during the action.“According to my philosophy, no money should be involved in an artistic exchange. I only do TFP.”TRANSLATION: I’m broke as fuck. I’m approaching my 50s and my wife has left me. No girls swipe right on me on Tinder. This is my only hope… Look, I spent all my savings on this camera. All I want is to see a naked girl. Am I asking for too much? Please!!!“I prefer working with inexperienced models.”TRANSLATION: I like to work with girls who don’t know the industry, are naïve and easy to fool. They blush when they undress, which is a major turn on for me. They don’t know how to pose, so I get to touch them inappropriately “in order to adjust”, obviously… If I get a hard on and something sexual happens during the shoot, I don’t have to worry about them spreading a bad word, they don’t know their rights, they don’t know what’s normal and what’s not, they don’t know about the contracts, laws, etc. It’s ideal. For me.“I don’t edit my photos. I can send you all the pictures tonight.”TRANSLATION: I don’t know how to edit. All I wanted is to see you naked. Who cares about the pictures? via /r/AmateurPhotography
