Has anyone ever used a photographer on here so they could have sexy pictures done? Be it ones of you on your own or as a couple..
If so, what was your experience like? And did you pay?  |

We met a photographer outside of Fab, who turned out to be a member on here. We went to his studio, and had some *really* good pics taken. The quality was amazing, and he put quite a bit of effort into retouching (fnarr fnarr) so the end results looked like real glossy coffee-table porn.
Not a penny paid.
His profile has gone now. |

I've just started studying photography above my level of hobbyist in the hope of turning it into earning opportunities. I've invested in a lot of equipment (DSLR, studio lighting rigs and study material) to improve and enhance my skills.
Willing volunteers will be greatly appreciated at some point, male, female or couples and any style of shoot. |

"We have done photos for other people and we've never charged...
There are a lot of wannabes....so be careful!
"
Also, I'd be wary of anyone claiming to be a good photographer who can't provide some sample images to view, whether on their profile or elsewhere. |

It will also depend on if you are looking to pay or have them done free. There are a few model / photographer networking sites around which will list the levels they will shoot to (adult), portfolio images and most importantly references. |

Well the reason I've asked, is because I'm a photographer.
Not a wannabe may I add, thankfully! Haha!
And I was wondering if this may be a place I could offer my services. :-/
I normally shoot lingerie and boudoir anyway, but I know that so many people would prefer to have much more intimate images done and you can't quite approach your local photographer and ask them.
Just wanted to see if it's a done thing on here. |

I'm a "hobby" photographer and had offered to do photos for people. Somehow the moderators decided I was offering a service for cash and blocked our account from posting with a warning that if I did it again, our account would be deleted. We'd like photos done but couldn't get anyone reliable so I offered to do the same for others without charge and got penalised. Be careful pet. Sx |

Eek! I wouldn't want blocked because of it.
Just think it'd be difficult to find someone close to you.
Ha! So anyway Mr Moderator, this isn't why I'm on here. Just thought I'd ask. |

I take mostly body scraps using light etc but have ventured into the more glamour side and did take some for people here, without payment as i considered the experience priceless. Had great fun doing them too and met some great people, did try a shoot before with a couple in their more intimate moments was an experience lol and the photos were only average as they were not inclined to stay still lol  |

I do provide this service and a fully trained professional.
I do also charge, why would I do it for free?
Why would any professional do it for free? ... your not doing me any favours by letting me see you naked lol
If any "professional" offers the service for free, they are most likely not as professional as they like to believe  |

I wouldn't say that at all, we haven't charged and wouldn't, it's something we enjoy doing and doesn't mean we are not professional. |

Just to clarify. We do charge for shoots done outside of swinging, but on here we do it to help out our fellow swingers. |

I wholeheartedly agree with you on this.
It's my bread and butter. The pleasure of photographing someone, however charming and lovely they are, just won't pay my bills. |

I am not a professional and I dont offer a service. I am studying photography and the erotic element is more of a hobby, was just stating I did for people and it was a great experience....but its great to see the service is providing and wish u the very best with it all |

I just dont see why a "professional" would do it for free thats all.
Why give a fellow swinger a free shoot and not others?
Sounds more like an opportunity to perv haha (not a bad thing)
What I see is, if you want a shoot with your clothes on there will be a charge.
take your clothes off and ill do it for free.
As a business, an income ... you wouldn't dream of it. |

Sorry, my last post was deleted as it didnt show correctly.
The point I made was a professional would not charge for shoots with clothes and offer free shoots if naked.
That is not professional to me at all.
Just my opinion, and it doesnt matter to everybody |

No way would i be letting the "photographers" from this site take my pictures! A friend of mine did a couple of months ago. I warned her not to but off she went. 2 weeks later her pics were all over the internet, the ones he assured her at the time would be "for her own personal use." She was stupid and he was a creep. |

Oh, what a shame!! I couldn't think of anything worse.
Any professional photographer would have some form of written agreement between the client and themselves, dictating exactly what can and can't be done with the images.
Really sad that he took advantage of your friend like this. |

But yes, its making money verses not making it.

I think if they were seeking payment on here then that would fall foul of the site rules which would explain why you see all the free offers and none asking for payment. |

You find bad apples everywhere even under pro photographers. I have done photography as a serious amateur since I was 13. I'm one of those "creeps" who used to offer photographer services here for people who had a serious interest in making their profile pictures stand out. I never charged for the time a shoot takes or the time required for post editing to present professional images which is sometimes longer than the actual shoot takes. Why? Because for me it was valuable experience in an area of photography I had never ventured into. I have the same costs as a pro, use the same equipment but am blessed in the sense that I have a profession which provides me with a much better income than becoming a pro photographer ever could. I stopped advertising it on our profile however. Why? Because a whole shoot which I had done for someone got lifted from their profile and reposted in various places, very probably by a real creep on here. Luckily it was quickly established that this was what happened otherwise I probably would have been earmarked as the culprit. Above all it sullied a piece of work that I and the people I did it for where incredibly pleased with. Maybe the above should encourage you to be a bit more moderate with your generalisations.
Fair enough the guy in question may be a creep, he may have distributed those pictures of your friend which is heart breaking. However do not assume everyone here works like that. |

In which case you haven't seen what a *good* photographer can do. We used our shots as profile pics (in fact our profile pic comes from that session), and it caused all sorts of problems, as people thought we were fakes, as they were that good. Seriously. There's about 10 which are of art gallery quality. |

And many times this creates a false impression of the people, we like ours just plain and simple what you see is what you get! But nice pics btw |

Dirtyb is becoming quite good with a camera and getting the scene and angles for a sexy set. Doesn't want any money just the experience to get more into his second favourite hobby. |

Ive done headshots for a few guys on here.. I normally do rugby photography so I wouldnt say I could do expert naughty pics but for a small fee I would do them.. However if someone wants overly photoshopped pics they wouldnt come to me as I believe all images should be raw! |

Sorry didnt mean RAW as in the format I was speaking for none photographers as in the images should be as untouched and not manipulated so what is shot is what you get.. Most i would do is a simple crop, so no wrinkles taken out or slimmed down etc |

Composition and lighting can't be fixed in post. All I ever do is tweak the exposure to get the look I want. Looking back at our fab pics we've uploaded, the RAW and processed are very similar.
However, I'm not against photoshop or other tools. They've changed the world of digital imaging. But this site isn't the place to make someone look different. I'll leave that to Vogue magazine. |

To add to what M i saying I am exactly as shown in pictures - no airbrushing, nothing fake or false or to make me look something I am not 
And b&w pictures are effectively altered... |

Like with all things there are several points to consider.
As has been said if an agreement has been signed then the images are controlled by what is written in that agreement. However unless it details who owns copyright E.g the client/you then at the end of the day the person that created the image has full control of it.
Amateur, Semi, Pro nice labels that are used within this industry. How many twin workers / part time trades persons class themselves as Semi pro.. even the guy next door with all the latest tools and PPE who still cant put up a shelf, looks good trying.
And I really like the comment of I have the latest Pro equipment, well done. If you know how to control light and set the image then you can create stunning images with a disposable or mobile, end of.
“I just dont see why a "professional" would do it for free”. 80% of my work is within that wonderful cash machine side of Events, (Yeah right) the rest is under contract with a couple of paid / members websites (Adult stuff) yet on the odd occasions where I have had a cancelation or I have worked / been contacted by someone who I would like to shoot and the studio is not paying for itself then I will offer some time free for images instead of doing the accounts.
Totally agree with the comments of “thedevilinus” every profession and walk of life has bad apples its picking them out and bypassing them that’s the trick.
At the end of the day it’s a bit like arranging a meet there has to be trust, respect and you need to do some ground work.

Composition and lighting can't be fixed in post. All I ever do is tweak the exposure to get the look I want. Looking back at our fab pics we've uploaded, the RAW and processed are very similar.
However, I'm not against photoshop or other tools. They've changed the world of digital imaging. But this site isn't the place to make someone look different. I'll leave that to Vogue magazine.
Haha yeah i think on here its false advertising to have heavily retouched pics just as it is to use old pics from when younger!
To add to what M i saying I am exactly as shown in pictures - no airbrushing, nothing fake or false or to make me look something I am not
And b&w pictures are effectively altered..."
Yes I know and I only like to shoot in b&w if asked too, but will shoot in it not alter on comp |

"Ive done headshots for a few guys on here.. I normally do rugby photography so I wouldnt say I could do expert naughty pics but for a small fee I would do them.. However if someone wants overly photoshopped pics they wouldnt come to me as I believe all images should be raw!
But RAW images are meant to be processed with software. That's the whole idea. Otherwise, shoot JPG and let the camera set the white balance and sharpness.
Sorry didnt mean RAW as in the format I was speaking for none photographers as in the images should be as untouched and not manipulated so what is shot is what you get.. Most i would do is a simple crop, so no wrinkles taken out or slimmed down etc
Ah, right! Yes I agree. I do retouch photos but not to change the subject. Just basic processing.

Has you can see by my veris's I have done lots of profile pics for people on here free of charge, my day job is porn so glamour/nude/rude pics are what I do best.
As a porn producers I have won several awards & do photos as a sideline...well for about 14 of the 18 years I've been shooting porn.
I now do most of my shoots through word of mouth or friends of friends of local people living near me or who travel to me, there are some amateur togs here on Fab that are better than some of the Pro's I know so check out their pics before knocking them back. |

They don't have to be perfect just of a good quality. |

I wouldn't say that either. I'd quite like the experience doing some tasteful erotic stuff. I wouldn't claim to be professional. I just like photography so would be happy to take pics for free simply for the practice. |

In my opinion you aren't a professional untill you have worked your butt off for year's at college and or university. So you bought a camera and have taken a few photos that don't make you professional. So many people claim to be professional when that couldn't be further from the truth. anyone disagrees with me will be hit with my qualifications that took me 3 year's of hard graft to obtain. It's idiot's like you, that's damaged the professional photography industry, giving togs a bad wrap because they want to pretend and lure women into there trap that there getting a good offer. |

You can also get there through hard graft training yourself, i have no formal qualifications but ask anyone in the UK adult industry and they will know me.
Not everyone has the luxury of university and some have to do it the hard way, i usually get any new & model that wants to get into the industry come to me for pics as well as the more established ones.
I'm a film maker/producer by trade but have won various awards for both film/camera work so yes amateur teach yourself togs can be as good as any other photographer.
University was the easy bit...making a name for yourself is when it gets hard, having filmed and photographed 100's of women past n present i don't offer my services for a leg over.
Having had years of meeting nice people and making a living from it this its nice to give something back for free...not to get sex lol.

if you think university etc was easy just shows how idiotic you are, sorry but there is no skill set working with in the adult industry, this wasn't the type of photograpy I was refering too. And luxury of university!. I worked 3 job's aswell as maintaining attendance to the course. And it's people like you greeting because you bought a camera and claim to be a tog, sorry but I stand by
what I've said, you can waffle about you have done this and that Still don't make you professional IMO. |

Whoa! He isn't saying that university I'd easy he's saying that it is easy by comparison to the hard graft needed to establish a reputation. You've thrown out some pretty damning accusations on what do you base them? |

I think people misunderstand that photography/film
over lap each each, many photographers have turned into cinematographers, so anyone can be a professional, whether your self taught or to a degree standard, it's how the quality and the professionalism you bring that sets you apart, examples of non degree/school professionals Guy richie, Quentin Tarantino. So when looking for someone, look for their portfolio and how they conduct themselves......

I call a photographer a professional when they have made a name for themselves, you have a long way to go girl and with your glowing personality so forget the up your bum attitude and blend in.
When i am at next awards party i will remember a university girl who thinks shes the nuts yet to be found...good luck lol..

"No way would i be letting the "photographers" from this site take my pictures! A friend of mine did a couple of months ago. I warned her not to but off she went. 2 weeks later her pics were all over the internet, the ones he assured her at the time would be "for her own personal use." She was stupid and he was a creep. "

Are you anywhere near Nottingham? only asking as i have friend/ model who needs a regular photographer.
PM me on my email addy with a couple of sample shots...any subject will do
I shoot material film/photos for her when i can and when I'm travelling up north or to Scotland i usually pop in and do her lots of footage.
If your pics are good she will have no probs paying your petrol etc, she networks with lots of other models so you'll meet some colourful people. |

Why you play at being a photographer I do this for real and earn a living from it, it was you that reckoned anyone without university degrees wasn't a proper tog...what a pile of crap lol.
A poison tougued wannabe dont faze me the slightest, I would have put models your way if you were nice but i'd really worry for their safety now afterseeing what a bitter person you are.
Most photographers network without knocking each others capabilities and it works well as they pass work on to each other if shoots are in different parts of the UK...
Every now and then you get a jumped up novice who thinks they are good trying to spoil the apple cart, we simply chuck the bad apple to one side and carry on.
You need to learn manners not be out so out spoken and if you are as good as you say you are it will happen, I have worked with some of the best in the UK but equally I work with complete amateurs and give the two the same respect...so should you.
Qualifications go out the window with photography as it comes down to natural ability and word of mouth to get anywhere, I suspect you'll come back with yet more vicious words but at no time have I knocked you or your work but think before you put people down next time.

I am a photographer too - and I am now ashamed to say that.
No one wins, if people just try to score points off each other - or slag each other off. |

We have a mix of ammiture and pro pictures on our profile, they are however in completly different context, the pro ones did not cost us anything and Mo just doesn't like the whole posing thing. Our on pictures are snapshops of our life and we like the roughness of them. We don't want to look like a couple of wannabe porn stars we just want to look like us.
Having said that its worth pointing out that there are a few on this thread who claim to be pros that quite frankly need a new profession as there profile pictures are worse than ours!  |

This is true x, we learn to bounce back as no ones work is to everybodies taste.
Its all good banter on my part...no publicly is bad publicly, I have had another person asked for pics during this thread and i'm sure figure8 will have the same so no harm done x. |

This is kind of what I was saying lol. No professional...in ANY profession...... worth their salt would display examples of their work that showed them in anything but their best light surely. The excuse is sometimes used that they only have a phone available but a poor workman will blame his tools and a good photographer would always use a good pose and flattering angle no matter what equipment they had.
I have no use for a professional I'm mire than happy with the shots A takes but if I did I know who I wouldn't be choosing from this thread. |

Don't reckon any of my clients would be best pleased if I pulled that out to shoot them. |

Having said that its worth pointing out that there are a few on this thread who claim to be pros that quite frankly need a new profession as there profile pictures are worse than ours!
This is kind of what I was saying lol. No professional...in ANY profession...... worth their salt would display examples of their work that showed them in anything but their best light surely. The excuse is sometimes used that they only have a phone available but a poor workman will blame his tools and a good photographer would always use a good pose and flattering angle no matter what equipment they had.
I have no use for a professional I'm mire than happy with the shots A takes but if I did I know who I wouldn't be choosing from this thread.
I'dve liked a flattering fanny view...I had my camera ready! "

ok on a serious note:
I like alot of selfies with phone cameras(my own phone camera is pish), but the real art is in the editing, whether u use phone apps etc(I like afterfocus).I suppose one of the issues I have is if someone likes having pics done and might like there pics on a larger scale, phones most of the time wont cut it(I have software that enlarges lesser quality pics, without losing the detail but never found them that great), I've also found fab, great as it is, doesnt show pics as well as other sites...even some professional shots look a bit tainted(it comes with the low bandwidth I suppose).I have a few sites where I upload my nature stuff...I'd never choose fab because the quality would never be there. |

Always ends up a slanging match!
Self taken pics all the way. If pros offer - we say no thanks - free or otherwise.
We enjoy taking our own. It's fun. You do what you can and if others like them, great - if they don't? We couldn't care less!

Sorry but you don't come across very well young lady..
Congratulations on getting through college but if you was in health care then Uni is a must... But in an artistic field I would disagree.
I looked at going into teaching a while back and chatted with a head of department at a college in a big city who ran a photography department. I was shocked at the rubbish that went with college teaching and the extremely slow pace of what was being taught. Out of the five people in the department only one person had ever worked in the industry at the sharp end, the others had done a degree and a six month teaching course. It was a real shame they had no industry experience as I felt they were wasting the students time and money IMHO..
It might interest you to know that the RAF teaches and qualifys photographers to degree standard in six months.... So it does make me wonder why colleges take so long... Apart from the fact that it is more about funding structures than results..
It is the same for paramedics.. West Mids Ambulance Service trains a paramedic in six months and the training is free where as in Wales you pay Cardiiff Uni and it takes three years..
So sorry colleges and uni's are not always everything they are cracked up to be...
I find it sad that you attack Clactontog who I would guess is making a good living in the same profession and from what I have read of his postings, offering you good advice.

I do photography as a hobby and never claim to be a pro, just something I enjoy doing and if it helps some one out in the process then great. I like doing outdoor stuff as ive always enjoyed taking a lot of scenery photos.
I've not had much interest on here though as I can understand how single women in particular might be unsure about meeting some guy with a camera, and what happens to the photos afterwards.
Most of the shoots I've done I have agreed to delete at their request, and the few I've been allowed to keep but not show anyone have been stored on cd in my safe.
With that said I'm in Leicester and do offer my free services to anyone wanting some photos done. I have my own profile on here too mainly for this service, lee.le2. My only rule is you need to have a laugh and enjoy yourself |

"I'm a "hobby" photographer and had offered to do photos for people. Somehow the moderators decided I was offering a service for cash and blocked our account from posting with a warning that if I did it again, our account would be deleted. We'd like photos done but couldn't get anyone reliable so I offered to do the same for others without charge and got penalised. Be careful pet. Sx"
Yes i had exactly the same response even though it clearly said in my offer no charge !!  |

Hubby takes my pics and is available for free. Happy to take images with your own camera or his with or without his memory card or yours and you keep it after the shoot so you know the images go no where else. Safety is key. X |

There are a few pro togs and enthusiasts on here and I wonder if there is room for getting a group going where recommendations can be made.
For me I like to teach photography, I would be more than happy to teach the basics to anyone with a dslr or a bridge camera.

Real photographers will have better lot, more experience, be fully insured and will get you to sign a consent form to state what they will and/or will not use your photographs for.
That way you are legally covered if they suddenly end up all over the internet.
And yes I believe people should be paying for the privilege of professional work.
I've seen some shocking amateur stuff from people calling themselves photographers. Check out someone's work in advance!
I had one guy who sent me some photos of his "work".
They were of a surprisingly high standard. I checked on google and yes, he'd stolen work from one boudoir photographer and two glamour photographers and passed the whole lot off as his own.
Be VERY careful. |

Just something to be careful of.
Once a person (model) freely engages in allowing someone to take their picture. The person holding the camera has full rights to do with them as they please regardless of any agreement , written or not.
One slight change in the law is that lovers or partners can bring a case of breach of privacy against the tog as it is conspired a private act done between lovers.
With that in mind, I now intend to shag all of my models so I don't have to bother with any silly forms and promise never to show our love making anywhere but on here  |

When doing my shoots (daytime job) i always use model releases , i always ask for 2 bits of photo i.d. and 2257 releases for the USA which is the norm in the industry...
When shooting weddings etc liability insurance is advised. |

But the thing is model releases are not worth the paper they are written on in the UK!
Copyright is key here and that remains with the tog as does intellectual property.
That is why I do not have to ask permission to display or sell any picture I have taken in the last 15 years.
Liability is not lawfully required but a good idea if you are doing any commercial photography.

There are far too many myths out there regarding model releases etc.
A few things:
1. Once you pose be assured in law you have given agreement to be published.
2. Even if the tog gets you to sigh a release there is nothing stopping him posting the pics all over all you can do is fight to get them taken down (after ant damage has been done)
The only way you can prevent your pics going viral is ask the photographer to use your memory cards which he gives you back before he leaves the house. The drawback there is we cannot work on the images.
If I was to do the final para the very least I would want is a BJ |

Dodgy togs who this soon get found out and blacklisted amongst the adult industry, in this business your word is you bond and if you are genuine then like us you get people recommend you by word of mouth or reviews.
Yes you always get a bad apple and thats why anyone wanting pics should always check out the togs work and reviews first. |
