Hi, I just got a new client and he said he could take professional photo's of me for free, since i don't have a portfolio. Does this sound kinda strange to you? I mean it seems very generous and all but IDK. Thank You All.
Once they've cottoned on you're new you will get offers from the world and his dog wanting to be your photographer, web designer, security, driver (as well as the age-old AW stalwart 'I'm a male escort - shall we do some shared content pictures to help our profiles so I get to shag you for free?'). My advice would be bin the lot - some may be genuine and well intentioned but you can never be sure - I have a trusted client who is going to take some pictures for me, but I would never allow a stranger to do it, and even then the images will be on my memory card.
You will get used to the pile of emails arriving daily offering you the world on a plate (and see the one I posted above which I got this morning - they still think we've come down in the last shower, evidently), the trick is to ask if you're not sure, which you're doing already so I wouldn't worry too much. You very rarely get anything for nothing and I would be very wary of this.
