FabSwingers.com forum: Do you need a photographer?

Do you need high quality photos of yourself or that special event? I am in the South East looking for subjects to help me prefect my photo taking skills. My preferences are voluptuous women. If you are in the South East, give me a shout!

As a photographer - you should be open to photograph all body shapes... Most likely you will not be asked to take part...

Your preference? That makes it sound like you'd be getting sexual pleasure from it.

That creeps me out.

It's fine for someone I'm playing with to want to take photos, but for someone there as a photographer to be getting off on it? That would put me right off.

Admit it, you're not really a photographer, more a voyeur trying to appear legit.

Got a portfolio? Examples of your work? I hope the lone photo on your profile isn't representative of your standard?

I have done this in the past - but when I was taking photos - I don't remember getting any pleasure out of it per se. However, when doing post-processing - yes, I was aroused.

Precisely, photography is an art, subject matter can be anything, not a preference

Professionalism is very important to us and the OP is most definitely lacking in that

Thanks for the comments. As the old age comment goes, art is in the eye of the beholder. Sexual arousal for my prefrence? Partly, but what I am seeking is more related to form and shadow effects of the voluptous female form.

Maybe you could show you're capable of taking a decent photograph on your profile

Want to perfect your photo skills ? Go shoot bands in clubs or Motorsport events, learn how to change settings on an SLR without taking your eye off the eyepiece...you'll also learn how to detect third of a stop changes in light without giving it a second thought.

Then start shooting models without getting a hard on and they'll love you.

The really crap picture of your cock isn't a good advert though.

Ah it's a good life and swinging seems to have more photographers in the word work than you can shake a stick at lol and as a rule it's a really bad idea to put up a I'm a photographer thread in the forums we have pretty much read them all and to be honest they always end up a slug fest of slights but then in fairness usually with good reason!! Im mean if your going to put up a I'm a photographer then have some photos showing what you can do even if the only self portraits then at least you may start to be taken seriously! Take a look at some of the other posters on here like just for laughs, we love there photos and I'm pretty sure if they started a thread like this they would not get the same replies you have, you don't come across very well in the way you are advertising yourself

Awww, shucks...thanks

Seriously though, I've yet to see more than maybe 3 'real' photographers that have any images on here. A lot of GWC's and 'all the gear, no idea' types though.

That's not to say there aren't good photographs on here, I'm just talking about the people that tout themselves as photographers.

This probably reads really harshly, apologies !

Lol it's not that harsh really there are quite the minority of photographers with an eye for it, but then in fairness it is a swingers site after all so it's always good not to expect too much but mmmm touting for models as a photographer with no real images to back up the claim is a bit of a stretch lol we have always tried to make sure our photos are of quality and have always loved the ones that are well taken we do wish there was more quality shots on here then there is

We had a trusted friend take our latest pics on here, he is learning the ropes and working hard.

He would sooner shoot night time scenes or unusual subjects (no, not us

) but is learning how to use indoor lighting and equipment and is only now doing shoots with profession models.

He is getting better all the time through experience and experimenting.

Before you perv through a lens at totty, get yourself up to scratch taking shots of everyday things and getting used to your photographic equipment, not your trouser equipment

Have a look at my profile, we're not professionals but if anyone wants photos I'm sure we could sort something out. It's all about using the right angle and making the subject feel comfortable, and not going outside the comfort zone. And taking 2000 pics and choosing 20... That helps...

An excellent selection of well-done photos Weekenderz. Those show a photographic eye and skill in lightning, composition, and more.

While I cannot speak for the O.P., I do serious photography and I hope it shows in my own self-shot photos. And, I am always wanting to photo couples, men, and women who are willing to pose. I am definitely willing to show my photos (of models and more) if anyone is interested.

The 'I am a photographer' is perhaps one of the oldest chat-up lines. At least in 2012 you can see them as taking them, but also the problem of trusting the photographer to not go plastering them around the Internet.

Had the pleasure of doing a photo session for a cam girl earlier in the year, was a little odd, but had known her for two years and ground rules had been set.

We got through something like 700 pictures in two hours, and was blessed with a hotel room that had exceptional lighting.

20 out of 2000? You must be good at what you do. I take hundreds on my photographic expeditions and usually come up with perhaps 2 I like and that's shooting the countryside ;P

But really, that's good advice. Take many, choose few. Not every shot is going to be a winner so take as many as you can to even the odds.

Photography is my interest, so let me have my little say!

Before any one starts, i am no expert.

I just take snaps.

But i cannot understand why more couples will not give this a go more. So many profiles out there of pretty girls taken by a guy with a camera who cannot be bothered.

A interesting picture is always a start to a good profile.

Use items around the house (mirrors plants etc etc)

Photography is not for everyone, but at least try, it does make for a better profile.

For every 100 pics i take i am happy with maybe just one of them (told you i was no photographer, but i try)

As one poster above mentioned motorsports is the way to learn and i have had the odd pic published in MCN years ago.

I get a least one offer a week to take pics for people...so if i can do it anyone can.

Just give the pictures some thought.

Yes i know its a swinging site, but it does help a profile.
