So, I get asked alot on this website if guys can take my photo. Apparently it's because I have an 'interesting look' (read: I shave my head into a mohawk) and they think I'll be up for posing in handcuffs or something. I dunno, but I digress.
Every now and again I'm in a difficult mood and I feel like trolling the people who can't read my profile. So I ask them daft questions like 'what camera do you use?' and 'was it expensive?'
I started to realise though that the answers were quite sinister sometimes. In their messages these gents were promising to give me the memory card at the end of the session so that they didn't have any pictures of me. Sounds ideal, right? If you want some pictures of yourself and you want it to be a bit of fun, getting a guy to photograph you and then hand over all the images without him seeing them sounds ideal.
Except these gents were often naming camera models with two memory card slots. Yes, more and more camera can write to two memory cards *at the same time*. So they hand one over to you, and they still have a copy on their camera.
And I don't need to tell you guys, that pictures on the internet of you naked can ruin lives. There are certain careers I simply can't do anymore because I used to work as a nude model and there are pictures out there on the internet.
My job is now to write about photography for magazines (and I'm even contributing to a book). And I also take photos for a living too. So my experience when it comes to being both behind the camera and in front of it means I'm often more street-savvy than your average person when it comes to having my photos taken during sex.
So please, please. If you are thinking about letting someone take your picture during sex for kicks - give them your own camera with your own memory card in. I would even just add a small bit of tape over the memory card compartment so that they can't slip their own one in when you're not looking. And insist that all phones and other gadgets stay outside of the bedroom.
Because once there's a naked picture of you out there on the internet - there isn't much you can do about it.

Good to know. As keen an amateur photographer as I am, I was not aware of models with two card slots saving to both simultaneously.
I remember the olden days when the discussion was about who kept the negatives  |

They are mostly used by news photographers. One card has JPEG's written to it, one card RAW's. It means that the SD card contents can be quickly wired to an agency for publication.
But they are slowly finding more traction with the lower priced models too. |

Separate cards for JPEGs and RAWs makes sense though I am sure the capacity to use them for less honest purposes has not been overlooked.
A few years ago I made a DVD of a threesome I had with a friend and her then fiance. Later they broke up and at her request I destroyed the master disc and tapes that had the original two - camera recirdings on and gave the destroyed media to her. We remain friends. I am sure some others would be less scrupulous. |

Congratulations. You have achieved the bare minimum standard for being a decent human. |

We all need to be careful. While many pic hunters may simply wish to have private wank material, some will try to sell photos or simply post pics and videos to sites like Youporn and Xhamster. Probably to boast about their experiences.

I asked twice and was allowed to take pictures both times, the uncensored pictures are non existent now, i have 4 or 5 still to edit and then my file shredder eats the originals which currently reside in a encrypted virtual drive stored on a disconnected external drive x
Overkill? Nope

Not exactly the same theme, but occasionally in the past I would go on cam in the chat rooms. Nothing pervy..just my face. Little did I know that after the event some people took pictures of my cam...
So much for not showing my face on my public pics ! |

people also forget even some deleted images are recoverable...it might not be the full sized image, more a thumbnail resolution.If you arent bothered about the pics being edited by the person behind the camera, use your own memory card...basic editing is easy(jpeg easier for beginners of course)
On a good few meets, where they want more discretion on whats on my card, I'd sit and go through the pics, deleting images that arent wanted(even if its just because the pic isnt flattering!).
Some cameras have internal memory remember!
I've been taking pics for a good few years(in general not just fab).Fabwise the only pics that have ended up elsewhere are the ones stole from my profile or the other persons, ones on my profile have to be edited to remove others faces anyway.

I'd have to add this privacy thing really does tend to be one sided towards females/couples..
I've stopped meeting some folk who refuse to send pics I'm in..I've even found myself uncensored on pics in their profile.... |

I would never let anybody take pics of me on a meet
To be honest I don't understand why people would want them, surely you should be to busy having a good time to be taking and posing for pictures |

people I've met and I seem to manage...not exactly posing for a pic..its a quick snap of the action. I can have 100's of pics from a meet in most cases..a majority U wont see on my profile but on my meets..as I'm behind the camera.Of course I meet some who have the interest in pics themselves...so theres lotsa flashing going on...and shagging...suits us!  |

When i was Meeting Pics were an important Part of The meet so that i could send them to my hubby. Also some were for displaying on my profile and some were just kept for personal viewing. Why does anyone take Pics of anything??
I've never been on a meet where I'm Fucking the entire time! There are often breaks where you can set up some poses and just have a bit of fun. Also once the tripod is set up all you have to do is Press a button on the Remote to Capture a Moment. It doesn't need to be like you're on a photo shoot!!
Thanks for the advice op. I didn't know about this. Some useful tips. |

I've always been really careful about not showing my face and nudity in the same cam session. Then a few years ago I found myself on a porn site where someone had clipped together a recording of my face with a recording of me nude.
Cams in the chatrooms *can be recorded*, and it's very easy to do.
Guys try to force me to show my face on cam all the time, and they get stroppy when I won't. Saying things like 'just for me' makes me think that they've got recording software on the other end. |

Yeah I don't either.
If someone gets a camera or a phone out it's a massive mood killer for me. It pretty much stops all play. |

Remember as well people who take photos on their phone and show you them deleting them after, they can be undeleted after, they can also automatically be uploaded to the likes of Dropbox before being deleted. |
