    Default Posing for car poster

    I'm working on restoring a convertible camaro. Someone gave me a calendar with a car that looks similar to mine this morning and I thought it would be nice to get some pics or poster done of my car this summer after I'm finished restoring it.

    I'd love to get an attractive lady to pose with the car, I am relatively frequent customer at a local club although I don't believe I could be classified a regular.

    When I see a dancer that I would like to pose how do I approach her without coming off as some pervert or psycho/stalker?

    Should I approach her at the club? Should I contact someone that does erotic photography to see if he/she has available models?

    It doesn't have to be a topless pose. Bikini, miniskirt or any sexy outfit that she is comfortable with would be fine with me and obviously i'm willing to foot the photography bill. If the lady wants to use them for her portfolio I'd be glad for her to. Obviously her time is worth something and i'd be glad to pay her or would a free photo shoot be enough compensation?

    My ultimate goal is to have a photo made into a poster for my shop and some extra copies for guys that helped restore the car and the model if she would like them.

    Thanks in advance.

    Just go to the club and ask. The worst that can happen is that she says no.

    I have to warn you, there are a bunch of guys that have approached us with a "free photo shoot"...that doesn't really impress us. I don't care about a portfolio and if I did, I'd want you to show me some of your professional work. In the end, money talks. You should offer her around $200 for two hours of her time.

    i agree with emily...i get the line of "be in a music video" and "pose for me since i am a photographer" all the time. it is too bad, since you seem to want it for a great reason. i am a huge fan of restored american cars. honestly, i do not know how you would convince her you aren't being a pervert or just pulling her chain. although, offering her cash for her time would be a good way! good luck!

    thanks for the advice Emily & Emilybelle.

    the main thing I want to do is make sure she's comfortable & knows i'm not trying to ask for extras, that why I wasn't sure about offering money.

    I'm not a photographer myself so I don't have a portfolio, do many dancers also model?

    If I could benefit her at the same time that would be great and like I said I wouldn't mind her using it to promote herself.

    doing something like this away from the club wouldn't get her in trouble with the club would it?

    yes, offer her money. it's not like you are asking for extras. You can specifically say it's JUST modeling.

    Her using it as a promotion tool just won't hold much weight. You will have to offer her something of some value. Since you are not a professional photographer, then it's probably cash.

    Are you planning on taking these photos? Are you a photographer and do you have professional equipment and photo editing software knowledge?

    If not, I think you might want to consider hiring a professional PHOTOGRAPHER who has a studio so that the photos look good and serve as marketing tools for your shop. You can even tax deduct it as a business expense. Then, the photographer has models. BUT, if he does not, I think a stripper would be more likely to do it if a reputable local professional was actually doing the shooting...

    AND....definately offer money to the girl, $100 an hour or going rate sounds cool, depends where you live. It takes a long, long time to get prepared for a modeling shoot...no such thing as natural beauty. Even if the shoot takes 1 hour, you can be sure she spent 2 getting ready for it...

    Good luck!

    First, find a good photographer who does erotic art. See if he has any girls that would be into that kind of thing (he probably does). Make sure you see CURRENT photos of the girls before choosing one. If you don't find one there, check out onemodelplace.com, and call the bachelor party agencies in your town - someone will have your girl.

    thanks for all the advice

    looks like I need to find a professional photographer first.

    Does anyone have any recommendations for photographers in the Raleigh or Greensboro NC area?

    should I also post this on the other work board or would that be unnecessary duplication?

    If you are having a hard time finding a stripper (and photographer), you might just want to go the escort/eros route. Just be sure to pick a woman without her face blotted out! (usually a sign they aren't too hip to modeling jobs).

    This has the hidden benefit of also seeing if the escort can refer you to their local photographer. A quick perusal of:
    http://www.eros-carolina.com/eros.htm

    finds this gem:
    http://www.eros-carolina.com/files/ch-amelia3.htm

    Who looks like she is quite well suited for the job, and likely knows a good photographer for it as well!
    It doesn't matter if you're somebody in this world, it rather matters you mean the whole world to somebody.
