There are threads to enlist other players in other social actions such as sparring outs and chess matches, but I don't believe I've seen a thread for Affluent Photographers.
So, if you are open to Affluent Photographer requests, or want to find someone who is, post here, stating whether you want requests or want to make one, and whether betrayals are permitted.
For example.
The Hellfaring Mystic would like Affluent Photographer requests, no betrayals please.

It's a storylet that progresses through opportunity cards that function like social actions. That ... may not be as clear as I thought.
Basically, you get the opportunity card to investigate the Photographer. But you need another player's help to investigate. (Or sometimes you can pay scraps to do it on your own.) That part is like a social action - you send a request to another player. When you send the request, you can choose whether you'll really share the information with your partner, or whether you'll betray them and keep all the information for yourself. the recipient of the request, of course, doesn't know which you've chosen. If you're honest, both of you make progress in the case. As the case progresses, you have to decide whether to side with the Photographer or the Contrarian. At the end, you get a reward. The rewards from the two characters look different, but I think they have exactly the same stats.
The quest is infinitely repeatable, but once you've gotten each reward, there's really no point in repeating it, which is why so many players don't want to receive the requests anymore. If you're betrayed, I think you get to keep the messenger bat, which is at least a bit useful for characters who do a lot of Zee-research. Of course, it would be rude to betray a character unless the player agreed to it.
Drake has the rewards, but he needs bats, so I'll take betrayals for him. The Prelate hasn't finished the storyline, so he'll take shared invitations.

I'm part of this but have no idea what is happening. Is it a storylet or just social actions like sparring and chess?
