"Interested to hear from couples about their experience of these. We've thought about having one when it's safe to do so. Are they a turn on or turn off. How you you find a trustworthy photographer who won't keep or share your pics. Pro and con. Cheers " Ooh just me then | |||

"How you you find a trustworthy photographer who won't keep or share your pics. Pro and con. Cheers " I think the question you pose is the biggest one for people contemplating a more intimate photoshoot. And for good reason too. Once upon a time, I had a friend who lived a, how shall we put it, a more alternate profession. I produced many portfolios for this friend. Over several years. But things happened, we drifted apart, and lost contact. In the intervening years, said friend embarked on a new life (always reinventing themselves) and started to become quite successful and had a following. Somebody who also knew this person, and I never got to find out who, decided to make a bit of money with the tabloid media. I started to get calls. It transpired that a certain rag was ready to run a huge story about said individual, but need some evidence to make their story fly. I don't know how, but they were led to believe I had the photos that would do the job. Money was offered, I said no. More money was offered, and I still said know. Eventually, a six figure sum was offered, with guarantees of anonymity (we all trust the press, right?) I didn't just say no, I told them in no uncertain terms to fuck off, and had my solicitor draft a very stern warning. Could that happen to you? Unlikely, but that is the way, in a socially connected world, how things can get out of hand. Is it something you should be concerned about? Absolutely! So, how do you establish the photographers integrity, and their ethics and trustworthyness? It's a great question! A look at someones portfolio is always a guide to their photography skills, references from satisfied customers is another. See how professional they actually are. You can have a contract, a release, a licence and usage forms. But there will always be an element of trust. | |||
