I'm a photographer and videographer. I've been on jobs for sports games and events like bike week in. I'm still working on growing and letting go of past beliefs.

I feel awkward as hell taking photos and videos of the bartenders, cheerleaders, etc. I don't want people to think I'm just a creep with a camera. I also don't want to be ashamed of my sexuality.

I've had some girls straight up offer to take sexy shots and know other girls who work these and say they'd be pissed if a guy took photos without offering to pay or some bullshit.

Can you guys help me reframe this and offer advice on how to handle it?
