    Default Free Photoshoot

    Any dancer want a free photoshoot in the Houston, Texas area?

    I am a photography hobbyist trying to build my portfolio.

    I can take sexy boudoir photos for your website or we can do an 'innocent' shoot or glamor shoot, etc.

    My photos rock and I have already been published in a couple of magazines. I use professional equipment.

    I can sent you samples, if you are interested.

    Maybe you could post some samples of your work in this thread? Or link to an online portfolio?

    It would be a violation of their trust to post photos of 'civilians' here. If anyone is interested I can easily send samples by email.

    If these photos are already published in a magazine, I hardly see how you are violating anyone's trust by posting them here.

    So, if a model asks me to do a shoot for submission to a publication, that gives me the right to post her photo anywhere I want? If you hire me for a particular magazine you want to be in, and, later learn that I am posting your photos somewhere else that you did not authorize, e.g., an alt-right or neo-nazi website, how would you feel about that? (I'm not suggesting that SW is anything like an alt-right or neo-nazi website. I'm only using that as an example.)

    If it got back to any of the models I've worked with that I posted their photos on this site, without their permission, they would not work with me ever again and word of this would probably spread around. Trust is very important in this field, specially when you do boudoir shoots.

    Anyway, how hard is it to ask for samples by private email instead of asking that I post them for all to see?

    If the pictures are in magazines then they're already published and out there for wide audience viewing. It's not like you're taking Next Door Nancy, wife and mother of 3 children who decided to be naughty for her husband's viewing pleasure only and you're showing off the photos online. You're talking about pictures that are already published in magazines, so presumably the woman/women photoed do not mind exposure. You said you're using neo-nazi websites as an example only, but the photos of women posted to those websites are not a reflection on the women themselves, unless the woman is a) dressed in a particular fashion indicating radical viewpoints or, b) posted the photo herself.

    This sounds like an attempt to get e-mail addresses, even if its not.

    Not only that, but your post literally indicates that you are a photographer looking to expand your portfolio. So, let's see your current portfolio - there is nothing shady nor underhanded about that. What actually is shady is if these women do not want their photos published and you're willing to send the pictures to us by e-mail. That is a snake thing to do. They either want their pictures out there or they do not. There is not this middle ground of consent because you send it to one of us directly. If she doesn't want her pictures out there, she doesn't want her pictures out there. PERIOD.

    One rough suggestion I have ( I hire a lot of photographers in my day job ) is to create a model mayhem account or website with open use photos ( photos where the person has signed a release to allow you to use them in your marketing ).

    These releases can be achieved by giving the person a tfp shoot ( trade for shoot and photo use ) or a deal on a shoot.

    Then you'll be able to release that link easily via PM with 100% certainty that you are not upsetting anyone.

    ( take or leave the advice of course )

    Just a thought, I know some pretty famous photographers, and even they squeeze in a bit of TFP when they can. If you're not a pro, lots of guys doing nudes, erotic, or "boudoir" photos pay the models, sometimes $100+ /hr. So a TFP for a model is kind of like a donation to you; they get photos but if your work is crap, they don't have anything and they've given away time for nothing.

    That's why they all want to see your work. If I might suggest, perhaps you can put together 50 or so non-nude, or landscape, or creative or other types of photographs that have no release issues. Host them online and then give them out to prospective TFP models. They will be able to tell pretty quickly if you have the equipment and the eye to work with them. This is a pretty standard request and helps with trust, etc, so you'd find more models willing to help you build your portfolio this way.

    Yes, and that was the model's choice. But, again, that doesn't give me the right to post her photos anywhere I want. They are still HER photos.

    I thought I could email pics from PM, but, I can't.

    What would I have to gain from getting anyone's e-mail?

    Posting photos of civilian models in a stripper website will probably not be appreciated, even if the reason was solely to show my work.

    How is that a snake thing to do? I am not posting their photos on a stripper website that 1000s of people may see, I am only sharing with a handful of women that live in the Houston area and are serious about working with me.

    I get not posting pics here. A lot of people wouldn't want to be associated with stripping because it's still just part the boundaries of acceptable.

    Jack if you ever put together a proper portfolio that you can share, please send me a message. Then I'll re-open this thread. I think asking for transparency is a reasonable request. You've been given lots of great feedback and I think you should put it to some use before you try networking. Right now the back and forth is annoying and counter productive. It makes the original offer less attractive.

    Here are a few of my sample photos with the faces blurred out. They are low quality versions, because, the high quality versions are too big (on memory) to upload.
