"OP, these kinds of claims are made a lot on Fab and people are often wary given what they've seen before. I say, in the nicest way possible."  I've received a few messages offering such photo shoots over the years & I always think its just an easy way to get yourself some wank material. I have a few friends who are photographers who do raunchy/kink photo shoots who I'd happy allow to take my pics for me I certainly wouldn't be comfortable with letting a stranger take such pics. That's just me personally however good luck OP | |||

"Thank you for your comments, but why would I invest thousands of pounds in equipment just to be able to photograph wanking material? As I said I would send a link to pages with my proper work, unfortunately, I'm not allowed to post it on here. " I didn't say you were just after wank material or that you aren't a credible photographer offering a genuine service. There are many on here claiming to offer shoots etc some are genuine others aren't. I gave my thoughts on the scenario & for the amount of people that hold the same view there are likely to be as many who would take your offer up. My view is held from a safety & what I'd be comfortable with point, it was no way intended to discredit you or anything. | |||

"Your post says some form of nudity will be expected (I cringe at this use of wording but perhaps that’s just a difference of opinion) but your profile says nudity is not a must? You will find most people on here value their anonymity extremely highly and are unlikely to allow someone they don’t know to have compromising photos of them (you say identity can be hidden but it’s pretty much guaranteed faces would appear on some of the original unedited images that you hold). I would suggest you are better off on one of the various photography social networking sites that allow amateur models and amateur photographers to come together to benefit each other’s portfolios - I know of several photographers who have used them to great success. "
This. Just type the word purple into Google along with the national drink of Portugal.
Problem solved. Models a plenty.

OP you'll be far better off either using a site such as PP or even by putting an ad in your local paper than you'll ever be looking for models on a swingers site. People will rightly or wrongly make assumptions as to motives. If you want to do something professionally- the use a professional route. A | |||

"I’ve met Marco. It was years ago now and the images he did for me were really great. He does have a ‘day job’ so that’s why he calls himself semi-professional. I just kinda came to say that what I know of him he was a nice guy and I’m confident his advertising for models on here is genuine. " Being paid for something outside of your day job doesn’t make you “semi-professsional”. it’s a meaningless word. Either you are professional or you’re not. I get paid for all sorts of things, but wouldn’t dream of using that term, because it nearly always gets used by people trying to up their rating. What’s wrong with just saying “I enjoy photography”. Secondly, if you are “semi-professional”, with your own studio, and therefore not a hobbyist, you should be paying for your models, especially if you’re calling the shots. Every week we see a post from men with a bit of kit offering their services. | |||

"There's a fundamental problem. While we'd really love to spend a day or even a weekend having good quality photos taken both naked and fucking, and even 'reward' the photographer, it worries us that the pics could leak out. We did get close with one guy who said he'd hand over the SD card, but we then found out his camera also had internal storage, which of course he didn't want to wipe. We did get some taken at the old Spice before its demise, and we also commissioned an artist to paint us fucking (really!) which was both interesting and very professional, although difficult not to move as he sketched while we were coupled together! ?? Has anyone found a way to resolve this? " I have a friend who's a genius life drawer, he can almost draw at cartoon speed, then he can recreate whatever sketch he does into a painting from memory (he may also be a little bit autistic!) As for memory cards, even if your given copies of the images and watch the photographer format the card, they're still not gone (just the file pointers to the images are deleted). If the card isn't used again beforehand, the images are easily retrievable (there are valid, professional uses for this!) | |||
