"What qualifies as 'photographer'? I am pretty good on my phone camera and it allows me to wank with the other hand. " You sound like most of the "photographers" on here - except you are absolutely honest! | |||

"Sorry but no "professional" photographer will (or should) do this for free. Why do you want it for free? Whats in it for the photographer? " You do have a point lol, i personally won't charge people on Fab if i don't have to travel as i do erotic/adult photography for a day job anyway. But yes i know of about six Pro togs on here that also do the same as me so yes some Adult togs do this for free to stay within Fab rules. I am happy to shoot off 50 pics free as a taster as i know they will be back again at some point in the future for films or pics... | |||

"Amature photographer here , for local people only 15/20 miles ,, discretion ashured and expected, ![]() ![]() No, not forum police - just cynics. Nobody who claims to be a real photographer would display rubbish pictures. Photographers have pride in their art and would not demean it by displaying poor photographs. Even phone cameras can produce very attractive pictures as many of the selfies on Fab show. If you are simply a perv that wants to snap pictures while people fuck that's absolutely fine and good luck to you , but at least be honest about it. If you claim to be a photographer then at least make an effort to show you have some competence. Sorry to hijack the op's thread, but our advice to you would be to look at some fab profiles until you find a suitable style and quality and approach the owners with a request. And contrary to what a lot of people claim, a genuine professional photographer will not necessarily charge if they also can get something out of a session. | |||

"Thanks everyone! Didn't mean to open a can of worms..... just want a naughty photo taking session preferably with someone with a camera who knows what they are doing...... It will be fun for them as well surely? " You will get pro togs offering to do it for free. Quite often they will ask you to do some pics for them for their project and they will do some free for you. Also you will get like fashion photographers wanting to dabble and try erotica so will do it for free for their portfolio. It's a shame you're not closer because I could have recommended a fair few. | |||

"Amature photographer here , for local people only 15/20 miles ,, discretion ashured and expected, ![]() While you are probably correct in your reply to the above poster, have you ever tried to take a selfie with a S.L.R. camera ? I guess not as they are very bulky. I have and while not impossible it was extremely difficult and not something I would use at all and Thats from someone who has won photo competitions. | |||

"Amature photographer here , for local people only 15/20 miles ,, discretion ashured and expected, ![]() Of course we have - many of our photographs are "selfies" and have been taken with an EOS 70D. Any "photographer" will have a decent SLR, a sturdy tripod and a remote control, coupled with WIFI or cable tethered shooting, so taking a good selfie is no more complicated than any other type of photography. But as a photographer you will already know this. In any event a good photographer can take a good photograph with a camera phone. As David Bailey once famously said a good camera doesn't make you a good photographer any more than a good oven makes you a good cook. Incidentally we take photos for fun - we wouldn't claim to be photographers, so this isn't a call for good photography but for honesty. | |||

Sorry but nothing to do with you so if you are just been nosey or rude sod off and let genuine people reply who are interested and want to have fun on here not just people like you who want to spoil things " Sorry but as an open forum I am entitled to my opinion like everyone else, However your response to me... There was no malice in my reply. I simply pointed out that "professional" photographers usually in most cases take photos for a living and rely on it for their income, so why would they do it for free? Unless of course you were offering something "else" in return (which you didnt stipulate) However I do stand corrected as some people have said some people will do it for free so I wish you good luck | |||

"Amature photographer here , for local people only 15/20 miles ,, discretion ashured and expected, ![]() any decent photographer with loads and loads of spare cash you mean! what about decent ones that have a small budget ? How much have you spent on all the extras you are talking about so you can do those selfies ? far more than i could afford to spend on equipment over several years i bet. | |||

"Amature photographer here , for local people only 15/20 miles ,, discretion ashured and expected, ![]() What bit about taking a decent photo on a phone didn't you understand? Some of ours are taken on a mid range DSLR, some on a point and press and some on a phone. The point is that if you take a bit of care you can get a reasonable result. Anyone who calls themselves a photographer (which we don't) would certainly take that care over anything they publicly display. Incidentally how did you manage to hack into our bank account to find out how much spare cash we have? Presumptuous or what? | |||

"_andb69 I did presume that as you told me you had a very good thousand pound camera that it was fair to suggest you did have a reasonable amount of disposable income, i am extremely sorry if i was incorrect in that assumption. Unlike myself who works in a low paid job because i want to work and not be reliant on the benefit system where i could be about £100 a month better off. unlike myself where even a mediocre camera phone would cost me 50% or more of my disposable income. Where i scrimped and saved for 20 months to buy my second hand camera. I do admit that i did expect the remote to be far more expensive than they actually are. I do hope that you feel very good of yourself belittling someone like me and adding to the already depressing state i am in." We cannot understand why eithrr accidentally or on purpose you keep missing the point we are making: a good photographer can take a good picture even on the cheapest camera or phone. Photography is about composition and lighting not about equipment. No one who calls themselves a photographer, either amateur or professional, would be happy to show a substandard photograph, and would not make excuses for a poor photograph. You were the one that asked about our SLR. You did not ask how long we had to save to get one, because after all it is non of your business. However, we did not say that an SLR is needed to take a good photograph - but we are surprised that someone who calls themself a photographer does not have one - or a bridge or a system camera. The main point we made is still valid. Offering to take photographs of fellow swingers for kicks is absolutely fine and fun for all concerned - to do so whilst selling yourself as a real "photographer" when you are not is just plain dishonest. | |||

"Guys i am a professional portrait photographer here with many lenses and body that cost over 3K EACH! Like i said i am a professional and of course! Published photographer too for last 8 years with my live music, fashion and wedding images all published some even been front cover! I also have a big portfolio that i got with my work and i building my new portfolio in kink photography but even i am charging around the £50 mark for images just so i can cover travel and get soms nice images for my portfolio so actually! If you getting into a area of photography like me its not bad if your doing it for free but i would suggest you charge low numbers so u at least cover your travel! And CD ect And it seriously does not matter what camera you have! Its all about your skill as a photographer and understanding how a to take a nice photo thats all u need to know! So stop fighting with what kit u or others have as it really does not matter that much these days" Well said that man x What a genuinely nice guy, X | |||

" In my day to day job 90% of my time is taken up taking photos, normally on auto point and shoot and for that reason alone I never refer to myself as a photographer. I have numerous cameras from cheap to expensive but because no real thought has to go into my photos for my job I don't confess to be a photographer, I supply a service which includes photos. However, at a weekend when i am out and about and taking photos for myself, I put a lot more thought into them and compose them and adjust for lighting etc so then I may confess to being a practicing amateur photographer...
