Debating if I should do this shoot. Advice from fellow photographers welcome!
Hi! little bit of context. I'm a photographer and over the last year have specialised in maternity photography and unique artistic maternity photoshoots. This means I've done some quite different shoots. From typical very sweet family photos to boudoir to a maternity pin up photoshoot.
Anyways. I'm usually really open and up for anything. This week I've had a request from someone who is a reserve soldier and would like a military themed maternity shoot of her in uniform showing off the pregnancy. Now this sounds like it shouldn't be a problem but I'm very anti-war and would probably identify as a Pacifist (to a certain extent)
Now the moodboard she's sent looks really cool and creative but by adding that to my portfolio am I coming across as embracing the military or creating propaganda? I want to offer the best creative shoots but I don't know if this one gives the wrong impression. Would love some more opinions while I figure things out in my head
UPDATE. After reading some comments and talking with the mum to be I've settled my debate. We'll be going ahead with the shoot but even she's admitted the use of guns ect doesn't feel right with the current state of the world. So we'll be shooting.her in the uniform and then some other outfits to make up for the compromise.
