Is it just us, or are any other couples amazed at the number of "Professional Photographers" on here who offer their 'services' for free.

Amazed how all of them have turned up on this one site!!

It's always been the same...

When I had a single profile I'd get an average of 5 different men a day offering their "professional" photography services...

I tend to just avoid them...they so often have shitty pics on their profile too which always makes me chuckle

I'm professional, which means I don't offer for free, but for fee. Although, I don't offer on here.

Probably some people do, but not from one of the many fakes on here.

Truly amazed we are.

Single guys who say they are looking for free sex thinking that just because they turn up with a camera in their hand they get a free pass and exemption from clearly worded preferences by couples.

And some of them look like they have been battered with an ugly stick, fell down, got up, and got battered again!!

To be fair, if somebody is a professional, the use of an iPhone shouldn't be too restrictive. It's not about the equipment they have, but the skill and talent behind it.

Don't judge on the basis of equipment... it's more, much more than that.

Most of our pics are taken by a professional photographer who works FOC but on the fetish scene not the swinging scene. He works for fun and on the basis he can use some shots for his portfolio.

We put them on the website that 'cannot be mentioned' as they are 'too rude' for fab mods lol

Honestly there’s loads isn’t there

I injured my shoulder and was looking for a massage a couple of years back and couldn’t find anyone available, joined here in February and there’s literally hundreds of them that can come and see us the same night and for free.

Lots of films, documentaries, commercials etc have been. However, you have to be careful and look behind the scenes to get the bigger picture.

Lots of additional software and hardware is used alongside the iPhone itself. On the phone, a specialist app will be used (not the iOS camera app) and usually this output into a third-party recorder to produce a higher quality file. Various lens attachments can be used (for example, to produce the cinematic anamorphic wide screen look) and sound is in most cases recorded separately. And then you get in to post production...

But the point being, an iPhone is capable of producing some very decent results. In this day and age for most people, it is sufficiently adequate to negate their desire for a proper camera, and is far more convenient and connected.

But Hawuai are always getting busted for claiming photos were shot on their phones but were actually done with a dSLR!

Same. Like, yes I have a half-decent camera. Yes, I like to take photos with it. Yes, it is a creative interest / hobby of mine. Very different to being a professional photographer.

Anyone using that label whilst trying to peddle free 'services' on sex sites are truly a mystery. You know, seeing as paid services are what makes someone a professional, and not just another random pervert with a camera!

Funny how you never see barristers, solicitors, accountants, surgeons, etc offering "free" services on here, isn't it?

I was, but they do attach lenses to it and probably post-produce the footage.

My sentiment exactly, and as I've already got gigabytes of porn I shot when I was involved in that field, I'm not short of photos for a collection either.

I wouldn't call myself a professional photographer, although it is a part of my job and my pictures can regularly be found on the pages and cover of a magazine in WHSmiths.

In the context of modelling, I've done a few shoots and have a profile on a couple of modelling sites showing my work, but that kind of photography is just for fun. If someone from here asked me to do it, I'd consider it, but since its a hobby it's unlikely unless there was something more, or I was doing it as a favour for a friend. Happy to consider all offers though

Someone commented on photographers having poor profile pics - I don't photograph myself, I'm much better behind the camera than in front of it!

I’ll be honest...I am a professional photographer (charge £1000/day) and I only get to photograph one or two people from fab a year. SO THIS ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!

I’m so sorry for everyone I’ve asked; had no idea how many cowboys were also doing it!

The answer is simple, those of us who are professional photographers will have a website. Anyone willing to test that theory out can always Kik me.

Why do we not have great photos in our profiles, well I'm bloody fat and ugly and you can't polish a turd!

So as I have a low opinion of my own looks I won’t bother at all.

I’ve seen professional photographers on here who do make an effort, I’ve also seen people who don’t claim to be great photographers, but have captured interesting and beautiful images of themselves.

If you’re a photographer who can’t be bothered with your own pictures how much effort are you actually going to bring to a photo shoot ?

You’re offering a skill as a photographer and some of the best with filters, lighting and interesting angles can actually polish that turd up a bit.

There is a reason I'm behind the camera rather than in front! Despite vast experience doing portraiture, glamour, nude, porn, weddings etc and lots of industrial stuff... I am absolutely shit at "selfies". Coupled with the fact that I'm not really interested in looking at myself.

So then we get back to the whole use of "professional". An ammeter does it for the love, the professional does it for the money. The amateur works to their own remit, the professional follows client requirements. That's basically it. So, a professional works to a clients requirements, for money.

The shrewed and observant amongst you will notice two things absent here. No reference to equipment, or skill.

Many think having a "nice camera" makes them professional. Welcome to Dodge City.

I actually enjoy a conversation with a good photographer and I've had a few in my time on here.

There are a lot of wannabes though that seem completely clueless. I'm no photographer but I know what makes a good pic.

I know that's true but having worked with a few pro photographers over the years, their skill is to be able to take well-composed, well-lit photographs in any situation. IMO it's that consistency and adaptability that sorts professionals from amateurs.

Good luck sorting out the pros from the chancers. It seems that every week someone posts about being a photographer and looking for girls and couples to take pics of - never Tgirls or single guys.
