A lot of Dom's want webcams and photos but there are some that don't mind not having them. Depending on what you're doing a webcam can be more helpful in determining your state. However, if you're not comfortable with it, then tell this person right out that you're not comfortable with doing that. I've done it before and the person I was with was perfectly comfortable with it.
To make sure that you're safe, do not give out too much personal information. Don't give out your first name and last name, or information like what city you're in or where you work.
