Photoshoot models

Hey All,

Just putting the feelers out for models within the South Wales or west midlands areas. I'm looking to broaden my portfolio a bit as I am mainly a portrait and events photographer. I would also like to test out my new unleashed outdoor lighting kit. I have a few ideas floating around in my head, one being a classy lingerie shoot in an abandoned building and another being a vanity fair group shot. With both location would be key and the second would need a lot of arranging and models who react well to the camera.

There's no pressure on this and I would rather strike up a conversation first so we can discuss what my intentions are and what you want to get from any shoots. I can show you my work on request and I feel like I have to say that I'm a photographer first. I am not the sort to try and lure someone to a shoot to take advantage or sleaze over them.... unless you ask me of course. I am an artist and I take my art and profession very seriously.

Let me know if interested

"How much do ya pay"

Nothing. The photos are the payment. You would have full access to them. I'm a documentary photographer mainly, I'm not working for an advertising agency or using them commercially. Also, this is not Annie Leibovitz asking to do a vanity fair shoot....

I wish you the best, although I will say it's a relatively common claim in these parts and so you're likely to find some... scepticism

…

Agree with the scepticism you may find on this topic but also looking at your profile why don’t you have pictures on your profile as you keep referencing being a photographer? A lot won’t want to be approached or approach a blank silhouette. I appreciate that you’re looking for models and may not want to be in front of the camera yourself but looking through fab there are so many creative pics on here and aren’t just a quick selfie and can show personality through their photo style. In my head this made sense but I realised I’ve just rambled on! Even fully clothed, non face pics of yourself can be interesting especially since you’re a photographer and will be able to set the lighting/ background etc.

I also have another profession that is photographic in essence but involves me not being able to show my identity. Hopefully you can guess the profession. I have other means of promoting myself and this profile was essentially for me to meet people. I can understand people's scepticism but as mentioned I am more than willing to show my work. I know it's not what people want to hear but my own protection and job security is more important than any shoot.

I have actually been meaning to do topless photos of myself with some shadowplay that will black out my face but not got round to it. Self portraiture has never been my thing and I have a load of photos on here to send with messages so I guess that's also a reason for my tardiness.

There's hopefully others out there who see the artistic merit in my proposal and have not lost faith in all photographers because of a few bad eggs

A photographer with no photos is not exactly... promising.

Honestly OP. If you want to be an accomplished photographer have some photos. Otherwise you may attract sarcastic responses. I for one would have absolutely no interest in a blank profile let alone someone who is “trading their wares” as a photographer.

Your profession and second profession is really up to you and your preferences but if it involves photos then don’t not have any.

Just my suggestion. Obvs

Oh you cynics. Of course he's a photographer- it says it in his profile. Us have you not seen the beautiful black and white profile picture of him?

If I was a woman I'd jump at the chance to pose nude for him, with no concern that I'm not being paid, nor fear that my pics may be plastered all over the Internet.

The opportunity of a true professional directing me in my own personal photoshoot would be all the recompense I need.

Who says I am not an accomplished photographer? I have made a living from it almost all my working life. I am not trading wares I am simply asking if people would be interested. Why would any photographer promote themselves on here? Unless they make their money solely from boudoir or something.... Well that's not me and I would never put my work on here. Especially when I can't see any benefits of doing so.

Whilst I know a TFP arrangement is common, this isn't a modelling website, and people on here will likely be wary of ulterior motives (usually from previous experience of people saying all sorts of codswallop to get their hands on others' genitals). You may be better off seeking models on the purple site.

We would love an extra pair of hands when it comes to bedtime and camera antics. As with any potential "customers" we both feel a portfolio would help our decision.

Even a few artistic cock pics would be beneficial.

Just our tuppence worth.

Good luck

I'm not advertising. There are no sales. I know it's hard for people to trust others but you seeing my appearance doesn't prove anything. You seeing my work and meeting in a public place to discuss ideas would probably be a better way to go about things. I know that there is a lot of unsavoury people on here but have you lost faith in all human kind? I have asked for nothing but people to express their interest. There is no risk. I have offered everything to prove i'm real yet people's only intention is to attack my character or intentions. You would have an idea of who I am if you had messaged expressing interest. I would then show you my work so you know who I am and what I'm about.

If you send photos via this site, on your profile or otherwise, you need to be in them.

So if you want to gain someone's trust that you are who you say you are, you can't do so by any means other than photos of yourself.

I was actually trying to help by explaining that the somewhat sarcastic replies you were getting may be down to the reasons I suggested. Most people on here won't know of TFP and will think you're one of the many men with a camera that just wants to wank while they're posing in their undercrackers waiting for you to take their best ever profile picture.

Personally, I'm not interested because my ex was a photographer and I've got hundreds of pictures of me in lingerie in abandoned buildings (we used to go urbexing). But I wish you luck on your endeavour.

Yeah I know about tfp but hopefully there are more like you who understand. Yeah there are plenty of serial walkers out there.

One of the drawbacks about being around any tog too much is their want for models... unless you of course want the photos. I thank you though for not attacking me though and wish you all the best sifting through the wankers to find someone genuine

I’ve been a professional photographer, with many years of experience across various genre, including extensive boudoir, glamour and porn. I’ve pretty much shot everything.

Unfortunately, in the world we live in today, coming on here as a photographer looking for models doesn’t get a good reception, for many reasons. For what you’re looking to achieve I would suggest that one of the many modelling sites would be a more fertile hunting ground. There you will likely find a less cynical audience, who share your vision and understand the relationship between model and photographer.

Reputation is everything with this type of work, and here you’re just a silhouette to a naturally suspicious audience.

If you are worried about your job and your reputation as a ' photographer' then maybe you shouldn't be on here, women especially need to know who they are meeting to hear you and see you, not just see your work

As good as your intentions are, yes i’m a photographer too, and have done TFP work in the past, i’d never ask for models on a swinging site, people aren’t here for that, people will always be thinking what is the photographer really after?

If there’s any models around the Home Counties area I have a phone camera. I’m thinking secluded fields with lots of sheep. Putting 2 and 2 together.

Surprises me that photographers would say that. Especially as your intention should always be to take good photos.

You would think that models can come from anywhere.... I often contact strangers to take photos of them but I guess asking through every other format is acceptable except here. I believe it would be a similar risk as meeting. You make out that there's more risk meeting a stranger for them to take photos than there is meeting them for sex.

All i have done is ask if others are interested. I appreciate your opinions but I'll respectfully ignore them. Maybe nothing will come of it but I don't regret asking and won't be explaining myself any further to anyone other than those who have messaged me expressing interest

There have literally been dozens of threads like this and the vast majority have been from people with no public pics or a couple of poorly taken selfies.

I can't say whether you've actually had private replies or but but again every thread like this has raised the same questions and the person starting every one of those threads has claimed to have lots of private interest which never seems to balance with the general consensus publicly.

You may equate meeting for sex and meeting for a photoshoot but very few people are open to doing either without some reassurance including public evidence of skills.

There are other folk on here who also have professional lives so it’s not uncommon on here not to want to be identified. I’ve only been identified once on here and that’s because someone had seen a pic I had on here before and I can still show a sense of me on my public profile. You can take pics that don’t actively identify you though, get creative with the photography! But I think most has been covered in this thread but please don’t send your work if it’s of pics of models via messages on here (I believe that’s what the site rules above was referring to) Good luck OP and looking forward to seeing your profile pics updated

To models get paid a lot, not because they're the most beautiful but because they're the best models. So it makes sense that a good photographer would want a good model and be willing to pay her (or him) and not just hope for a freebie frill.

"Hey All,

Just putting the feelers out for models within the South Wales or west midlands areas. I'm looking to broaden my portfolio a bit as I am mainly a portrait and events photographer. I would also like to test out my new unleashed outdoor lighting kit. I have a few ideas floating around in my head, one being a classy lingerie shoot in an abandoned building and another being a vanity fair group shot. With both location would be key and the second would need a lot of arranging and models who react well to the camera.

There's no pressure on this and I would rather strike up a conversation first so we can discuss what my intentions are and what you want to get from any shoots. I can show you my work on request and I feel like I have to say that I'm a photographer first. I am not the sort to try and lure someone to a shoot to take advantage or sleaze over them.... unless you ask me of course. I am an artist and I take my art and profession very seriously.

Let me know if interested"

I’ve said it all along…if a photographer can’t even use their imagination to take good pics of themselves, which show off their use of light, composition and their ideas then don’t come on FAB and say you’re a photographer.

I’m not a photographer at all…I use my phone but I can still use my imagination and create a pic, yet these ‘photographers’ can’t

I'd say that as a photographer looking for people on here to put themselves out and turn up to model for you, you should at least show some of the quality of your eight o your profile.

Context is everything. A lot of single men, probably the majority, come to fab with unrealistic expectations. They don't appreciate that it's very difficult to get to know and meet others, if they're not involved in the club scene.

Some people are naturally good with other people, they are sensitive, empathetic, etc. They're often flexible and adapt to others and circumstances. They can preempt adjustments and what others need. Others could do more of this, though reflexively don't.

If OP has been trying to meet for sex, he'll know how it is. Grasping the fab context is vital to then adapt, to make your potential success here.

How I expected.... I have received messages from interested parties so was worth it. I don't mind that people think their opinion is absolute, that's what always happens in the forums. I'm a creative and think different to most so I don't mind the dismissive attitudes of people who don't trust my intentions.

I harbour no illfeeling to anyone on here and hope that me defending myself against the forum onslaught hasn't offended anyone. At the end of the day whether anything comes of it or not, I'm still thankful I get to what I love everyday. Not everyone can say that

With respect, words are cheap and most of us have heard this story a few times or more. (Similarly, although unrelated professional services, when I said I wasn't meeting due to injury a long time ago, I encountered many people who promised to cure me. Their cocks hoped to be involved)

He's been given significant clues as to the obstacles he might face in finding what he's looking for here, as well as how he might overcome them.

That's very generous. I've no reason to doubt the OP, but saying and doing are very different. Saying it's not sleazy but also implying it could be more sexual than professional could at least suggest it's a bit sleazy, even if not the intention. If I were a woman, I don't think I'd have been racing to sign up.

Others have made the point, but it's also odd for a professional photographer not to be able to find a single picture he likes enough to display on a profile that doesn't reveal his identity (a concern lots of people share). Surely the best way to demonstrate how good a photographer you are is to show a pic...they paint a thousand words and all that...

Lots of assumptions going on here. If you're not interested then don't message. Simple. I asked on here as I thought people would like the opportunity to have professional images for free. The people that have messaged haven't confirmed anything yet just opened up a dialogue. I've not used modelling websites very often as I am not an advertising photographer. There are many types of photographers who specialise in different areas. I was a photojournalist then went into events and commercial when pj died.

I know this site can make people bitter but i think most of you need more faith in their brothers and sisters. We are as good as we are bad. Being a male on here is hard so I understand why people blag. I also understand why the blagging has caused scepticism. I have offered to show my work to interested parties. I have images of myself on here and am willing to send them on request. I am a member of a trade association and would be willing to show proof of that. I would also like to meet first in a public place so I can discuss ideas and for the model's safety. As I said previously I don't see more risk being involved than any other meet.

It takes time to build a reputation, it takes time to build contacts, don't take his legs from under him just as he's finding his feet

That's very generous. I've no reason to doubt the OP, but saying and doing are very different. Saying it's not sleazy but also implying it could be more sexual than professional could at least suggest it's a bit sleazy, even if not the intention. If I were a woman, I don't think I'd have been racing to sign up.

Others have made the point, but it's also odd for a professional photographer not to be able to find a single picture he likes enough to display on a profile that doesn't reveal his identity (a concern lots of people share). Surely the best way to demonstrate how good a photographer you are is to show a pic...they paint a thousand words and all that...

Well give him the chance to prove himself

If he's as his word, we as a group have added a trusted photographer into our group, if it went the other way we can get the tar and feathers out.

Untill then give the bloke the benefit of doubt"

He's got as much of a chance to upload a pic as anyone else! That was my point; he must have loads of good pics which would be a very obvious demonstration of his skill! It might help him in his quest!

More power to him, but all I was saying was I can understand why people would be sceptical...

"Lots of assumptions going on here. If you're not interested then don't message. Simple. I asked on here as I thought people would like the opportunity to have professional images for free. The people that have messaged haven't confirmed anything yet just opened up a dialogue. I've not used modelling websites very often as I am not an advertising photographer. There are many types of photographers who specialise in different areas. I was a photojournalist then went into events and commercial when pj died.

I know this site can make people bitter but i think most of you need more faith in their brothers and sisters. We are as good as we are bad. Being a male on here is hard so I understand why people blag. I also understand why the blagging has caused scepticism. I have offered to show my work to interested parties. I have images of myself on here and am willing to send them on request. I am a member of a trade association and would be willing to show proof of that. I would also like to meet first in a public place so I can discuss ideas and for the model's safety. As I said previously I don't see more risk being involved than any other meet. Cool your jets folks"

You don't have to be a portrait tog to use sites such as purple port.

Nor does specialising in one area prevent the posting of photos of yourself on here.

As I said before. There are, and have always been, several professional togs on Fab. All have visible work on their profiles. None seek models via here.

There was a guy looking for all expenses paid company for a holiday earlier this week. There are always threads started by plumbers, electricians, decorators, mechanics and all manner of 'professionals' seeking sex in return for work done.

If you really believe this is the way to go about finding someone to pose for you then crack on.

There are far easier, better and safer ways to find what you seek through normal channels. Unless you're still hoping for 'extras'.......

We occasionally use photographers for product shoots, and it's clear that you get journeymen and you get the talented. When we were in London we found a young, very talented photographer who we became good friends with (though still professional) and Niki did a shoot for him, but that was after she had got to know him, respected his talent and trusted him. A random seeking a random on a swinging sure is definitely not the way to go about it. We still use photographers up here, but finding a good one at product shoots is nigh impossible.

At least OP is informed. I think most of the comments aren't due to cynical people as the majority are related to our experience here and how hard it is for fab to be used by single men, to get to meet women for anything at all. As models are fairly widely available, it also strikes as a point, that a pro isn't using established channels, thus driving those of us who have many, many years here in Fab, to highlight likely best methods and tactics, etc

"I’ve noticed on threads like this there’s *always* a point where the aggrieved thread starter says ‘Well your opinions don’t bother me because I’ve had plenty of offers in private messages’.

I wonder how many times it’s the truth?"

Obviously when we start seeing all the verifications of their page rolling in about his professional photography skills we will have egg on our faces

Insanity - doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results
