What are the red flags with fetish photographers?
Pack way more wardrobe than you think you'll need and let the photographer pick what works.
— Nervous but excited.
Grip socks and a robe for between setups. Your feet will thank you and so will your patience.
— Community over competition.
Show up on time, showered, phone in your bag. Low-drama models are the ones who get the callback.
— Consent is the whole game.
A real professional won't flinch when you ask about references, the model release, or bringing a chaperone. If they get cagey, that's your red flag.
