I'm part of a photography group on FB from back home and they like to do a lot of themed collaboration shoots (not my cup of tea but it's a good thing for the most part. It creates community instead of competitive hostility.)
Well, one photographer posed the idea of buying Native American headdresses to use as props for models. Now, personally, I would not do a shoot with the headdresses unless I was getting paid mega-bucks and had a really sweet setup. But, otherwise, the controversial nature of the subject and the inevitable "meh" images that would likely be produced kind of deter me from it.
What do you think? Is it a case of cultural over-sensitivity or is it justified?
