Mag Ingat sa mga UW photographer/videographer na nag ooffer ng free shoot.
May nakita akong post sa FB about female freedivers being taken advantage of, and na-trigger ako nang very slight kaya gusto ko rin i-share experience ko.
There’s this guy I met from a sikat na diving school sa Batangas. At first okay naman. Usap usap, wholesome, parang leaning pa nga toward serious relationship yung vibe. At that time, nasa peak din siya ng kasikatan as an UW photographer/videographer.
Walang sexual sa conversations namin. Tapos nag-ooffer siya ng free shoots and content. Sobrang wholesome nya so sabi ko, mukhang okay naman. So eventually we met, only for me to realize na ang habol lang pala niya was to get laid.
After that, tuloy tuloy pa rin yung offers niya ng “free” underwater shoots tapos boudoir eme eme. Pero obvious na yung intention niya at that point kaya hindi ko na pinapansin. Nangungulit pa rin from time to time pero wala na talaga akong interest after seeing through the bullshit.
Posting this for awareness. Please be careful sa mga “free shoot” offers from UW photographers, especially if hindi niyo talaga personally kilala at trusted yung tao.
I won’t drop names, pero he used to dive sa isang sikat na freediving school sa Mabini. May nakaaway siyang isang UW videographer, hindi rin sya certified at walang balak magpa-certify kahit na nag ooffer ng UW shoots. May sarili rin siyang photography business and workshops.
Hindi ito chismis. Alam kong nandito ka sa Reddit. Obvious naman sa username mo. Itigil mo na yan. Stop taking advantage of female freedivers just so you can get laid.
