>>4347132If you're a dude, people now see "man seeking woman" photographers as serial killers and creeps trying to hire a prostitute on the down low, and largely have since the 70s, which is how every portrait studio type gigs amateur segment became female dominated ("mommy with a camera"). It just doesn't work.
And why? Because, in lieu of aggressively applying physiognomy meeting up with random dudes with cameras actually is a good way to get into sketchy situations. Men have a bottom % that matches the brilliance of the top %. A gender that contains jesus must contain satan. Shoot weddings and realestate until you can look like a trusted name and then you can do portraits. it also helps if you aren't single or hire a female assistant for makeup cooridnation.
