Hello ladies. I have recently started into Glamor photography and would offer free photography sessions (upto 5 outfits) to any ladies interested. You will get all pictures in a soft copy format.

Interested ladies please send me a message letting me know when and where you would like to have your free session.

Well. Offering services for free gives new aspiring photographers like me an opportunity to show our work. E'one (including myself) would be hesitant doing business with a brand new company. Free service is a way to show our work to others. What's wrong with that? Walmart and all major stores offer free products and services (rebates..etc) so why can't we do same to promote our services. I think it's just fair.

So, if I like to work on cars and I do not mind offering my services for free because it is something I enjoy, I should not because it devalues the work of professional auto mechanics? Bullshit!!!

Most if not all of the ladies that advertise here do not need glamour or professional photographers for their adverts. I myself have taken photos (yes for free) of providers that have been used (some still are) in ads, did a pretty good job as far as I am concerned.

can you change my oil every month then? and as far as you thinking you did a good job well its because the "client" is 99% of the time someone who isnt savvy about the industry. you can show her a bad photo and she will say OHHH THAT IS NICE, but when you get into the editorial, commercial, corporate world its a whole new ballgame. But Oh well I was just giving my opinion.

Thank you for the laugh, this is a hobby board and we are discussing providers pictures. Yes you may be right about your 99%, just as I am sure I am when I say that 99% of the hobbysts here may not be "savvy" about the (photography) industry and really give a rats ass about the quality of the pictures as long as they can see the merchandise. And yes, it is my opinion.

I used to be a photographer years ago. Made the bulk of my money from weddings, which wasn't necessarily the direction I wanted to go. I enjoyed portrait and glamour work, but got a good reputation for my weddings.
Shortly after I got divorced, I decided to pursue more glamour and artistic nude work. Just one word of caution, I got "no showed" by escorts almost every single time I arranged a shoot with them. On a couple of occasions, I had spent some serious money preparing for the shoot. Not only that, I had made it abundantly clear that I was not looking to trade services. Occasionally I would see an escort who had hideous pictures in their ads or site. I figured both of us could benefit from my work. She could have nice portraits for her portfolio, I could benefit from having her in my portfolio well. Trust me, you arrange a shoot, they get a three hundred dollar appointment at the same time, they are going to stand you up in a heartbeat!
There are a number of model boards where the girls are very sincere about adding to their portfolio. You might want to consider taking that direction.

If youre really serious about gaining experience then try modelmayhem.com
As the bull fighter said most guys just wanna see what the merchandise looks like and most providers will be happy with just cellphone pictures. Youll learn more offering TFCD/TFP on modelmayhem unless you were trying to get some free pussy then dont, most of those girls there... always bring escorts and it gets more legal on that side. But for the most part if youre trying to learn new techniques define your style try it. it will be worth it.

munnabhai · 07-11-2010, 05:54 PM

enderwiggin · 07-12-2010, 08:24 AM

Nothing's free in this here hobby. Just sayin'.

My approach has been pretty simple. I offer photography only through my P411 profile, since it's a hobby of mine, I always have my camera ready ONLY if requested. It's an option for them if they want. And it's only with the ones that see me for a session anyway. They don't lose any business, I don't waste my time or theirs. It can be fun for both sides, and if the girls gets photos she likes enough to use then everyone is happy. laphotoérotique, this is not a professional photography board, and although I do understand what you are saying. The girls who need or want "professional" photography will pay the right person to do the work. They might find it here, or they might just look elsewhere. I'm sure you can find tons of places that advertise online in just about every local market. I'm willing to bet there are plenty that want something better than cell phone pics, but don't want to (and will not) pay to have it done professionally. I don't see this taking anything away from professionals.
