Is it me or are there a lot of "singles" on here with pics that look like David Bailey is their best mate and owes them a favour? Mine are all just plain ol' selfies ![](/icons/s/biggrin.gif) |

"Mine are all selfies too. I'd love some decent ones"
Your pics are great. Nothing wrong with selfies I don't think. I'm just curious as to how you go about asking someone else to take intimate pics. |

"Actually, my bondage ones weren't. The person who roped me up took those.

Actually I have managed before. I use my laptop camera for my shots and good old PhotoBooth so I can have been known to press the enter key with my toe to take a pic. |

Mine are (mostly) hand held selfies on my IPhone. If not then it's propped up and timer is used but the phone usually topples over just as it's about to go off ![](/icons/s/biggrin.gif) |

Most ladies on here are very good at photos...they have an eye for detail.
An eye, a big toe and a nipple...then theres the lips followed by the radiator full of socks and cheap bed linen.![](/icons/s/wink.gif) |

Mine are all selfies too. Bit difficult to get some decent shots, even with a timer for me.
Some on here are stunning though. They belong on walls in an art gallery. |

A good majority of the top fabbed are taken professionally either on set or by someone with experience. |

I took all the photos on our profile including the ones of myself. Same with my single profile. All you need is a camera & some ideas & you can do some decent stuff.

Photo apps on phone or if you uploaded pics via pc/laptop you can use software like photoshop or gimp (unfortunate name! But free) to play around with image ![](/icons/s/biggrin.gif) |

Mine are mostly professional ( sort of) buts that's only because I have a great erotic photographer mate who does them for free. Few selfies here and there, but they are recent and are all of me. |

All mine are selfies,I'm not a great photographer but through trial n error have found what works for me.
For every pic on my profile there was at least 10 that didn't make the grade.
Most smart phones now have easy to use pic editing,crop n filter type stuff.
If I can do it so can a trained monkey! ![](/icons/s/biggrin.gif) |

In fairness, all a "professional" photographer does is trial and error over a much longer period. In any given photo shoot (adult or sports or anything) I might keep 1-2% of the frames shot, and from there use half of them. An actual professional has a higher hit rate, but not often more than 10% |

There must be a big difference between sport pics where it's entirely spontaneous and a posed pic. I appreciate what you're saying though about the final percentage of pics actually considered suitable. |

Now that I think about it,you're spot on there.
A family member is a professional photographer,n having seen some of his work n the process to the end result what you say is very true. |

There's posing and there's posing...
I tend to avoid completely 100% staged images and instead go for directed motion... does that make sense?
So instead of saying like "1 inch left, up a bit, smile more... snap". I'll say "do what feels comfortable, have a bit of fun, but try to keep your hand out of the way of your..." and snap a few hundred frames. |

I also sell IT kit to other photographers, and believe me the size of hard disk they need...
I can shoot 18,400 photos on my memory card, but I'll still change it every few hours at a decent sports event. Not done adult shoots that last that long! |

Most of the time, and particularly with amateur models with whom you've only a brief relationship. Once you know someone better they don't mind being interrupted as much (I've found).
A moment or two every so often for feedback is also handy, if you can set up a laptop or take round something to put it on TV |

Makes total sense. I think that's probably the best way to go about it.
Most of the time, and particularly with amateur models with whom you've only a brief relationship. Once you know someone better they don't mind being interrupted as much (I've found).
A moment or two every so often for feedback is also handy, if you can set up a laptop or take round something to put it on TV"
Or text them to her hubby for approval ![](/icons/s/wink.gif) |

"Mine are all selfies too. I'd love some decent ones look no further!! ????
A few hundered miles is quite far!"
Now that depends! If I'm going to be in someone's area anyway, or I don't mind visiting a mate and doing a shoot while I'm there, then I might be tempted. But then I drive hundreds of miles a week for barely any reason at work.
(sorry, pet peeve of mine is people assuming they know how far I'll drive) |

"All mine are selfies,I'm not a great photographer but through trial n error have found what works for me.
For every pic on my profile there was at least 10 that didn't make the grade.
Most smart phones now have easy to use pic editing,crop n filter type stuff.
If I can do it so can a trained monkey!
In fairness, all a "professional" photographer does is trial and error over a much longer period. In any given photo shoot (adult or sports or anything) I might keep 1-2% of the frames shot, and from there use half of them. An actual professional has a higher hit rate, but not often more than 10%"
That's just not true. Especially if you're using film. |

It's not true for all, which I've already said. Do you frame every film shot you take? Some I don't even finish developing, and that was the case for a good number of people I met at Uni too. |

"Hubby is a keen photographer ."

Dito. My husband (occasionally a female friend but rare).
Timer on camera is great for hands free and voice activated is great for action photos.

I would love some professional looking pics done but i really don't have the confidence to pose for someone else. Voice command on my phone is invaluable....i do feel a complete tit shouting "cheese" at no one though! ![](/icons/s/mrgreen.gif) |

I'm a photographer and like doing pictures of myself I have to be super careful and make sure I format my SD cards before I go to a wedding or something... That could be slightly awkward |

"Is it me or are there a lot of "singles" on here with pics that look like David Bailey is their best mate and owes them a favour? Mine are all just plain ol' selfies "
Mine are just selfies taken on my phone. |

You would be surprised what a camera with a self timer, a stack of books and some blu tack can do. |

Iceland, but Aldi is closer.. |
I have the studio backdrops, strobes,slave flashes, decent Canon camera.. Yep Canon, not nikon (that should provoke a couple of responses) and a lens for every eventuality...
And i use my camera phone to take my personal pictures..
By the time I set that lot up, I have lost the will to live, let alone take a photo..
The cameras on phones are really good now..
A great photo is 30% thought, 30% composition, 30% post processing and 10% subject...
It don't matter what you think of yourself, how self critical, with a little bit of forethought you can create a beautiful picture...
There Is a David Bailey in all of us just screaming to escape. |
