£375 per hour + VAT and expenses is that professional enough?

Yes, I am but unless you sing, play guitar, or go around a track at 200 mph, I'm probably not the man for you as I grew tired of shooting static subjects with lights years ago...though I do occasionally do a bit to keep my chops intact, hence Mrs JFL gets decent profile photos!

overlap on posts... you probably want a keen amature rather than an actual person who makes their living from photography,

I have seen some of your art work all the Women look amazing,

Maybe you could take a few of me including Mrs Naughty as am sure she would improve the pictures

But I would need a few months of gym work first to get in shape

in the queue there... I've called next dibs on mrs N to make me look good with her company in my pictures

OP, a keen amateur could offer what you want, or a pro will do it but likely charge. Whichever route you take, be sure you know what will happen with the images, and who has rights to them.

The photographer has the rights to them, regardless. You can only hope that they're discreet and professional (in behaviour, rather than profession), or they agree to let you use your own card in their camera but that means you just get images straight out of the camera and nearly all images need some editing, even if it's only a tweak in contrast levels and a touch of sharpening, particularly if they're shot in raw.

Some common sense advice, if it's 75% fantasy role play, then find a person you want in the fantasy and lend them YOUR camera to play the role with, keep the picures yourself and if you wish let them have a picture or two after you have edited them. If its 75% wanting good pictures of yourselves then check out their portfolio and establish trust or contract before getting naked.

I was gonna say the same. If it's a fantasy... and it's all about the shoot... heck you don't even need reel in the camera... just pick the right playmate and enjoy the play...the posing. It is rare that a photo can capture the intensity and eroticism... that's why I prefer artworks. Photography is too bland and matter of fact. I'd hazard a guess the photos would be something of a disappointment compared to the memory or fantasy. In the fantasy it's all about being the centre of attention, having that gaze totally on you and there's something erotic about the camera mechanism snapping noisily away, as if to say "wow you're gorgeous"

As I said good photos are rare... maybe about 1 in a million. There also doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason for what makes them good. I've seen amazing photos snapped by an amateur and banal ones snapped by a pro. In fact I'd suggest most pro-photographers are crap... their work is too stale and conventional. I've seen a lot of photos in my time, worked with high end photographers, and it takes a lot to impress me. But an amazing drawing or painting never fails to bowl me over. Ther's just so much more intensity, expression, and poetry to it. Camera's were invented to catalog reality, warts and all, and all that's happened since then is we've added a pile of filters to try and make them seem more "arty". Some of the old photos, Steiglitz's old black and white's etc... they're lovely and haunting. Somehow, who knows how, 1 in every million photo transcends its matter of factness and manages to capture a moment or a feeling really well... but they're rare.

As I said... there are truly amazing and inspiring photos out there... but the vaaaaast majority of them are just banal lifeless turds. If you wish to make out of that that I'm anti-photography then so be it... personally I'd say I'm just a bit picky

I would dispute that figure, since the advent of digital photography and even more the inclusion of cameras on phones I think you need at least 6 more 0's

However there are many reasons for a photograph to exist, the most valid of which is the snapshot that will take the taker back to a memory, These do not have to be artistic, or even in focus to be fantastic, but are not for sharing to those who were not there.

Others are to make a record for sharing, be that holiday brochures or posters on a wall this is where a picture is worth a thousand words, it takes much more time and skill to achieve but much of that is science not art.

What makes a great photograph is as hard to define as what makes a good piece of music everyone can make a noise, some can organise that noise to make music, but some people, some times can make music that can lift the soul and make it fly. That is part science, part composition and a hell of a lot of being in the right place at the right time.

Thanks for the thoughtful response

I think the problem with this perspective is that the human witnesses an event through the prism of an emotional eye... whilst the camera is mechanical. People argue that what the camera depicts is the Truth and what we see is warped... but I'd argue the opposite. Particularly when it comes to capturing the events taking place in a fantasy. I suspect that a camera is likely to render it with all the eroticism of a calculator... leading you to look back on it and say "hmm I don't remember it like that... but I guess that's what it must've looked like to others". Great photos don't suffer from this problem. They somehow manage to capture the eroticism and spirit. But as yet there seems to be no way to predictably take a great photo.

I'm bias in this regard... I'm an erotic artist (you can find links to my work on our profile)... so that's why I prefer artworks as they leave more to the imagination and they are the perspective of an emotional desirous eye rather than a machine

Some photographers who photograph naked women/couples make the photographs look more like porno shots rather than making them look tasteful.

to make the photographs look tasteful it takes to the modal and the photographer working together .

making a shot look tasteful can be done just by the photographer but is a lot harder if the model isnt on the same wave length. and visa versa, the photographer normally has the biggest input but I have done shoots where the model has been very hard to adapt to a different style

also nudity dosnt always mean less tasteful, I have done full nudes that are natural and gorgeous and clothed shots that can be slutty as hell
