Is it me or are there a lot of "singles" on here with pics that look like David Bailey is their best mate and owes them a favour? Mine are all just plain ol' selfies

Your pics are great. Nothing wrong with selfies I don't think. I'm just curious as to how you go about asking someone else to take intimate pics.

Mine are all selfies as well. I think a lot of people's shots are; it's just that they're really good at taking them. Phone triggers, timers etc. and it's apparently easily done.

In fairness, all a "professional" photographer does is trial and error over a much longer period. In any given photo shoot (adult or sports or anything) I might keep 1-2% of the frames shot, and from there use half of them. An actual professional has a higher hit rate, but not often more than 10%

There must be a big difference between sport pics where it's entirely spontaneous and a posed pic. I appreciate what you're saying though about the final percentage of pics actually considered suitable.

There's posing and there's posing...

I tend to avoid completely 100% staged images and instead go for directed motion... does that make sense?

So instead of saying like "1 inch left, up a bit, smile more... snap". I'll say "do what feels comfortable, have a bit of fun, but try to keep your hand out of the way of your..." and snap a few hundred frames.

You are right, of course, there are many who take very very few photos, but even there they'll take backup shots, and in most situations, a blink or whatever can ruin the best pose

A family member is a professional photographer,n having seen some of his work n the process to the end result what you say is very true."

I also sell IT kit to other photographers, and believe me the size of hard disk they need...

I can shoot 18,400 photos on my memory card, but I'll still change it every few hours at a decent sports event. Not done adult shoots that last that long!

Not all togs work like that. The guy who did my two took 2 photos, job done.

Mind you, he did have a magnificent specimen to work with.

You are right, of course, there are many who take very very few photos, but even there they'll take backup shots, and in most situations, a blink or whatever can ruin the best pose "

Makes total sense. I think that's probably the best way to go about it. "

Most of the time, and particularly with amateur models with whom you've only a brief relationship. Once you know someone better they don't mind being interrupted as much (I've found).

A moment or two every so often for feedback is also handy, if you can set up a laptop or take round something to put it on TV

Now that depends! If I'm going to be in someone's area anyway, or I don't mind visiting a mate and doing a shoot while I'm there, then I might be tempted. But then I drive hundreds of miles a week for barely any reason at work.

(sorry, pet peeve of mine is people assuming they know how far I'll drive)

Phone cam timer and filters and maybe a bit of framing/cutting and a helluva lot of deleted efforts later and you'll do fine

"All mine are selfies,I'm not a great photographer but through trial n error have found what works for me.

For every pic on my profile there was at least 10 that didn't make the grade.

Most smart phones now have easy to use pic editing,crop n filter type stuff.

If I can do it so can a trained monkey!

In fairness, all a "professional" photographer does is trial and error over a much longer period. In any given photo shoot (adult or sports or anything) I might keep 1-2% of the frames shot, and from there use half of them. An actual professional has a higher hit rate, but not often more than 10%"

That's just not true. Especially if you're using film.

It's not true for all, which I've already said. Do you frame every film shot you take? Some I don't even finish developing, and that was the case for a good number of people I met at Uni too.

Timer on camera is great for hands free and voice activated is great for action photos.

Iceland, but Aldi is closer..

I have the studio backdrops, strobes,slave flashes, decent Canon camera.. Yep Canon, not nikon (that should provoke a couple of responses) and a lens for every eventuality...

And i use my camera phone to take my personal pictures..

By the time I set that lot up, I have lost the will to live, let alone take a photo..

The cameras on phones are really good now..

A great photo is 30% thought, 30% composition, 30% post processing and 10% subject...

It don't matter what you think of yourself, how self critical, with a little bit of forethought you can create a beautiful picture...

There Is a David Bailey in all of us just screaming to escape.
