Photographer in North West UK
Jump to: Newest in thread
I'm a semi-professional photographer and I was wondering if any ladies are interested in helping me to expand my portfolio and they will get images for free.
Unfortunately, I can't upload any of my proper work on here however I can provide a link to pages where my work can be viewed.
I have my studio and I'm also willing to travel.
Some form of nudity will be expected and identity can be kept hidden. No images will ever be used unless I do have your consense
I don't expect anything in exchange of that, your time is more than enough to me!

"OP, these kinds of claims are made a lot on Fab and people are often wary given what they've seen before. I say, in the nicest way possible."
 I've received a few messages offering such photo shoots over the years & I always think its just an easy way to get yourself some wank material. I have a few friends who are photographers who do raunchy/kink photo shoots who I'd happy allow to take my pics for me I certainly wouldn't be comfortable with letting a stranger take such pics. That's just me personally however good luck OP |

Thank you for your comments, but why would I invest thousands of pounds in equipment just to be able to photograph wanking material?
As I said I would send a link to pages with my proper work, unfortunately, I'm not allowed to post it on here.

You claim to have this material, no one knows that for sure. People lie on here every single day. And you might have it for other purposes but also use it for wanking material or worse.
It's not you necessarily. This place makes you jaded.
Photographers, massage therapists, personal trainers, physiotherapists, even occasionally doctors... people will claim any fucking thing to try to get an edge on here. Personally I delete messages from anyone opening with that. (I have encountered some people who seem to be genuinely in some of those professions, but it's something that came out in the course of conversation, not come meet me because I'm an X) |

I didn't say you were just after wank material or that you aren't a credible photographer offering a genuine service.
There are many on here claiming to offer shoots etc some are genuine others aren't.
I gave my thoughts on the scenario & for the amount of people that hold the same view there are likely to be as many who would take your offer up.
My view is held from a safety & what I'd be comfortable with point, it was no way intended to discredit you or anything. |

I know and that's why I thanked you for your comment.
It has opened my eyes more to what people think when they read a post on a forum.
Safety comes first and I would do whatever necessary to make people safe with me.
I sent you a DM with a link to one of my profiles where my work can be viewed. |

every man and his dog seem to be a photographer !! and posting on here saying you are normally ends up with a ton of abuse.
It will help if you have a profile on one of the many photographer/model websites, with your work on view.
I have found it is all ways a trust issues, most people dont want the pictures going public, so keeping control is the main concern. but it's catch 22, to prove you can take a good picture you have to show off your work. there are plenty of models on them sites, and are very easy to work with.good luck |

Your post says some form of nudity will be expected (I cringe at this use of wording but perhaps that’s just a difference of opinion) but your profile says nudity is not a must?
You will find most people on here value their anonymity extremely highly and are unlikely to allow someone they don’t know to have compromising photos of them (you say identity can be hidden but it’s pretty much guaranteed faces would appear on some of the original unedited images that you hold).
I would suggest you are better off on one of the various photography social networking sites that allow amateur models and amateur photographers to come together to benefit each other’s portfolios - I know of several photographers who have used them to great success. |

There’s plenty of models who also offer their time time in exchange for the photographers. A couple of my Vanilla friends do it |

Exactly.
OP you'll be far better off either using a site such as PP or even by putting an ad in your local paper than you'll ever be looking for models on a swingers site.
People will rightly or wrongly make assumptions as to motives.
If you want to do something professionally- the use a professional route.

what i mean is, you need a model to take some pictures, so that you can show you are a photographer !!but to get a free model you need to prove your work.
or do as most photographers do a work with a model

I’ve met Marco. It was years ago now and the images he did for me were really great. He does have a ‘day job’ so that’s why he calls himself semi-professional.
I just kinda came to say that what I know of him he was a nice guy and I’m confident his advertising for models on here is genuine.

Being paid for something outside of your day job doesn’t make you “semi-professsional”. it’s a meaningless word. Either you are professional or you’re not. I get paid for all sorts of things, but wouldn’t dream of using that term, because it nearly always gets used by people trying to up their rating. What’s wrong with just saying “I enjoy photography”. Secondly, if you are “semi-professional”, with your own studio, and therefore not a hobbyist, you should be paying for your models, especially if you’re calling the shots. Every week we see a post from men with a bit of kit offering their services.

I was chatting to a guy for quite sometime on Fab. He led me to believe he was a professional photographer. He sure roped me in in my naivity.
I came quite close to meeting him but thankfully I could read between the lines when his messages got quite dark. 
I had a lucky escape due to my gut instinct, your gut instinct will never let you down. |

It states "some form of nudity will be expected" because I want to make sure if anyone is interested, they will not be upset if I require them to take some clothes off for the shoot.
I always prefer to be clear from the beginning.
Thank you for your suggestion. |

"What exactly is “semi-professional”?"
Usually, all the gear, no idea, GWC types who knocked a big hole in the photography business a few years ago by undercutting all those professional photographers who actually offered a decent service with decent images.
Do I sound bitter? |

Exactly. It’s a meaningless statement. If you’re not making a living from it then you’re not a professional of any sort. Charging your mates £100 to do their wedding doesn’t count. |

So if they contact you after finding you via your profile you don’t expect nudity but if they contact you after finding you via this thread you do expect nudity?
Glad we cleared that up! |

There's a fundamental problem. While we'd really love to spend a day or even a weekend having good quality photos taken both naked and fucking, and even 'reward' the photographer, it worries us that the pics could leak out. We did get close with one guy who said he'd hand over the SD card, but we then found out his camera also had internal storage, which of course he didn't want to wipe.
We did get some taken at the old Spice before its demise, and we also commissioned an artist to paint us fucking (really!) which was both interesting and very professional, although difficult not to move as he sketched while we were coupled together! ??
Has anyone found a way to resolve this? |

I have a friend who's a genius life drawer, he can almost draw at cartoon speed, then he can recreate whatever sketch he does into a painting from memory (he may also be a little bit autistic!)
As for memory cards, even if your given copies of the images and watch the photographer format the card, they're still not gone (just the file pointers to the images are deleted). If the card isn't used again beforehand, the images are easily retrievable (there are valid, professional uses for this!) |

yeah don't bother If your that paranoid about them " getting out " why do them in the first place ten years photographing models and NONE of my work has ever gone where it shouldn't be .but in regard to that put anything on the internet especially "adult" images and they can and will go anywhere |

Hiring a camera is fine, but can we hire a professional photographer to go with it? |

Yes. Your best bet at maintaining confidentiality is to pay for a professional photographer who wants nothing (beyond their fee!) in return! |
