I shoot mostly film, have a canon ae1 & recently joined a photography group on facebook and came to realization that most of the photographers are just horny perverts tryna bag chicks calling themselves photographers, I seen one guy make a comment on another guys photo with a chick in a pool with a bikini on about "can i come next time just to look"
yeah, i feel like 90% of cameras dudes, professionals included are really just perv ass nikkas. cuz a few big named photographers have been gettin hit wit metoo lawsuits... even by dudes 
LS + google nik 95% of the time. I only go into PS if the persons skin has a lot of tonal variation and use frequency sep to even it out. but i dont like that beauty, super smooth, or see every pore plastic lookin shyt. I'm tryin to get away from portrait shyt unless its my own shyt, so that i dont have to worry about clients face insecurities
that's real shyt. With portraits it's always a gamble on how much retouching they want. I just started using freqency separation methid, I always try to tune it down though.
Get that bag bruhI got asked for a quote this week for a pretty big job... if all goes according to plan, I'll be able to cop that A7III if I land it. Waiting to hear back from them now
Trying to balance is a job itself.My kid turned 1 last weekend, so ya mans be tired af juggling all this
I have a lot of content I could share on IG but just haven't got around to it cause every post on there I try and curate it and make sure the stuff fits everything else on my page. I be feeling like a damn DJ with how I operate on there... be having to make the transition from post to post make sense so it's just not a random vibe and feel to my page.

Need some more help brehs,
Usually do candid photography or impromptu shoots, but I'm trying to get more into studio photography
My questions are:
Is Chroma Keying a good idea for studio photography?
I'm thinking of using a green screens as backdrops so I can change it to any color/thing. I've noticed in that examples I've seen on the net the subjects don't look as cleanly cut out and lose some data at times in editing. Can this be solved through better lighting? I've been working on that area as well but don't want to use my time running in circles.
Is Chroma Keying how COLORS achieves their aesthetic?
Or should I invest in white and black backdrops? They seem to separate the subject from the background more cleanly and I can do what breh did here?
Trying to generate consistently clean, quality images I can alter and boost colorwise relatively easily.
