Would you hire photographers who also hobby?

[donuts]

How do you feel about photographers who hobby? Would you keep it against them? Would it be a deal breaker? Or would you be fine with it? Also, would you consider trades professional or unprofessional?

You are not advertising a service for the community, but asking a question of about how a lady would feel about the situation.

Not sure I understand the question....but any real life connection with the hobby is off limits for me. That said, my ATF, a provider, have been talking about hiring a professional photographer, who is a provider, to take some erotic images as keepsakes.

There are many ladies who trade services with photographers. Most I have talked with about it (the ladies) think it results in photos that better capture the persona they are trying to portray.

I have no problem with a photographer that also hobbies. I also model and met a lot of photographers that question me about this line of work.

Thing is, I wouldn't hire a photographer to take my photos for escort use. If photos are being traded then there's no sex involved at all. I don't trade pussy for anything that I can't take to Walmart and buy food with. No cash, no ass.

Col. Z is on to him!!! I'm guessing he wants to be a photographer and hobby at the same time....

I have met lots of men who are/"claim" they are photographers. However, I have never traded services for services. Just as I expect you to come with me with cold hard cash, I will do the same with you if I need you and your area of expertise.

I also do a bit of pinup modeling outside of the hobby. I would NEVER hire a photographer that does escort photos for my other pictures. (Actually on the hunt now for reputable non escort photographers for a new shoot) And if the photographer hobbies, as long as he didn't try to wrangle any services out of me, we are all good!

However, this is purely MY opinion and how I run MY business.

There are photographers and there are guys with cameras. So much so that GWC is a well known acronym in the modeling arena.

At times I've tried to find models that I could persuade to do more revealing pictures, but I've always been up front about being a GWC, to mixed results. A lot of effort for each hit, nothing a pile of cash wouldn't fix. But for me its more challenging and erotic to get the model to provide than to get the provider to model.

I prefer the taint photos. Not too many photographers know how to take them.

And if he pays for the session, room...

No problem

[donuts]

so... would you consider a trade ok? or unprofessional?

This is why every guy with a camera becomes a photographer.
