I'm a keen photographer, relaxed, unshockable and easy going. Would anybody like some photos (or videos) taken either for their profile or just for fun?
I'm a newbie on here and yet to have my first meet, probably because I don't have any photos. Perhaps you could take some of me when we meet?
All interests catered for, but please be in Bucks, Oxon or London. As cash is tight at the mo, I can't travel much further than that.
Please PM if interested or leave thoughts below.
Just to be clear - this is for fun only. No fees either way and your confidentiality will be respected. What you do with your photos is up to you, but I wont use them or post them anywhere, ever.

And I thought most phones had selfie possibilities.
Keen photographer but can't afford to travel. My OH's camera cost him thousands... or do you mean keen photographer - I have a smart phone thingy |

You're going to struggle without a portfolio. |

This and if you want to be taken seriously OP then you need to display examples of your "skill". |

There are some good points raised here - and there is clearly a reluctance to take things at face value.
To answer some points in turn:
- because I like photography, I don't take selfies in a mirror (has anyone ever seen a good one?), or on a phone
- I have a website of my own which is vanilla in flavour, but am happy to provide its address to anyone seriously considering having some snaps taken
- I also photograph (nude) professional models and my work is available to anyone interested on a number of portfolio hosting sites - please ask me for the address if you'd like to see some work. There are also numerous testimonials attached to my profile going back perhaps a decade from happy and content models, appreciative of working together, either paid or collabortaively
- doubts about my gear - I have a few Leicas, including an R8 and a Hasselblad 500C/M, together with numerous other film cameras. But as I expect some of the photos on here to be too adult in nature for the lab to process, I'll be using - if anyone wants to meet, a £700 'disposable' Fuji digital camera
- my finances. I've been self-employed for 14 years and Q3&4 of this year has been the toughest ever, frankly. Forwards sales into Q1 2014 are also looking lean, but Q2&3 are more robust. So while some on here may be happy for me to drive to Scotland to snap them and drive all the way back again for fun, I would like to restrict myself to where I live (Bucks/Oxon border) and London.
Lastly, I am a little surprised by the hostility of the responses on some of the replies. If you don't want snaps, that's fine. Don't bother to reply. But if you are interested, asking to see my work to prove my credentials would perhaps be preferable to saying you wont get any takers without any photos, even selfies on a phone in a mirror.
Now, if anyone would like to see some stuff, please just ask and I'll send you links to the appropriate sites.
Thanks |

A photographer can use any equipment they have to hand and make that picture good, not all about expensive equipment and I have some good photos taken from an iPhone.
No hostility, more like there are heaps of wannabe photographers on here. |

All of our pics are taken via iphone and edited in Photoshop for the vignette and effects (in the case of our doctor who ones!).
You don't need expensive equipment! But you also don't need a camera man :p
However if there's any ladies out there who fancy a bit of camera work and also want to join in, get in touch we travel far and wide C xx |

I'm afraid that its the way of the world, You posted this in an open Forum which means that everyone has the right to reply not just those that wish to take up your offer.
Two points if i may
First..why did you feel the need to mention your Finances?
Second i havnt seen any Hostility just people mentioning that they find it odd you have no pictures on your own Profile

Hi
I mentioned finances after one reply expressed surprise at me not being able to 'afford' to travel. The point really being, I don't choose to spend money travelling to Scotland to take some snaps, rather than being unable to afford the petrol or airfare. And being self employed, there is an implied opportunity cost for the travelling time, which doesn't apply to salaried people.

I agree that you don't need expensive gear to take a good photo - I just like cameras. Some I've bought at auction for £10-20 and I love them and use them as a carry camera when abroad on business.
But the other side of the argument is you need to be able to 'see' a picture. Many people have invested a couple of hundred pound in a digital camera, but the results are disappointing, not from a technical point of view, but because they can't frame a shot, or get the angle correct or whatever it happens to be. yet many believe that because it's digital, it has to be good. It doesn't matter what you use, if it's a poor shot, it's a poor shot, no matter what it's taken on.
Phone selfies - I have no problem with them at all - they are just not for me. But if you are happy taking them and showing them and looking at them, then go for it. I'm just after something different and looking to see if there are other members on here who would appreciate something different too. |

Absolutely hence my comment earlier, if you haven't got the eye for it, it doesn't matter how much money you spend on a camera, you also need to creativity to process any image.
I have no selfies but do have ones taken by a semi pro, not hard to work out who, and we have used Canon 7d, Canon 5d, iPhones and point and shoot.

Give a man a camera and he's a photographer, give a man a violin and he's a man with a violin.
Seen a lot of people with 5+ grand cameras and all they can manage are "snaps" yet some of the best (published) erotic style photos are normally taken on nothing more than a box brownie (slight exaggeration there but you know what I mean) not saying we can all be Elmer Batters but its fun trying |

Yes, I agree - and love the violin comment. Haven't heard that before, but it's so true.
One of my favourite erotic photographers, Helmet Newton, had a modest old Rollei and a battered Canon, but managed outstanding results. Araki, while not to everybody's taste, also uses a modest old Canon. On the other hand, Bob Carlos Clarke invested heavily in kit and made some fantastic images. But can you tell the difference between Newton's & Clarke's photos? Easily. But not based on the quality of the camera or the glass on the front it, purely by the development of their own style and creativity.
Snapping is a bit like having sex - it's what you do with it that matters.

Isn't it Helmut Newton? Although Helmet Newton sounds slightly more appropriate for an erotographer.... |
