Hi all, we've been on here for a while now and have some very good mmf meets. One thing that we've discovered is that as a couple we really enjoy taking photos, especially action shots.

The problem we're faced with is that it's really difficult to get some good action shots of what's going on (or in haha) at both ends when things heat up. So we were thinking of inviting a third man to take pictures for us and said man would also be allowed to play too.

If you think you'd be suitable for this then message us directly through our profile (but please read it in full first before messaging).

Sorry to post a request here but it's too long to post in a status, plus we'd be interested to hear if anyone else has done this and how it turned out.

Thanks

G&T

It's something we've been thinking about doing too. Actually had a couple of guys offering their services even though there's no guarantee of anything other than the view at the end for them! For us it's about ensuring control of the photos taken. We'd need to be comfortable that the pictures were ours and we could decide which ones the photographer got to keep at the end of the night.

I use a dslr nikon 3200. This camera has an infrared remote (small hand held about thumbsize). The camera, when set up on a tripod, with a wide angled lense. Set on fine. These gives a good field of view and allows you to snip into the photos if you want close up shots.

Basically this means, with good positioning, you can take your own photos (if funding a trustworthy guy is difficult).

Good luck xx

I just adore the visual side of this fabulous place and get hugely turned-on taking pictures for couples or groups.

All on their camera, so they have control of anything taken and no other involvement sought (although I would not refuse if invited and it felt right).

So please GinandTonic and FredandWilma, if that might appeal, please come and let me know?

I would simply love to!

I'd suggest seeing who's pics you really like, the ones with care and attention paid to them.

Then deciding if you like the look and perhaps ask who did it or how (if it was themselves)

Stopped counting the number of "photographers" that post on here about how good their work is but have a couple of shit cock shots as their USP

Hi I am a pro photographer, have a look at my profile, i shoot for the advertising, glamour, and adult websites, have done many a shoot for couples on here, also have shoot for cupids club (interiors), and manage their website.

After a shoot it can be transferred to your device and the card of images deleted in front of you.

Not to pee on your fireworks but I can recover all deleted images from a memory card with a simple piece of software. (Not saying you would). Best they use their own flashcard

yes u are right its called image recovery but if you shoot over what you have deleted/formatted the card and just random shots of anything so you overwrite any memory you will not recover them, I shoot on canon 5d m3 with compact flash cards most people don't use the cards just the pros.

I have used quite expensive flashcards. Overwritten a fair few times. (I tend to batch photo so 4-8gb cards are fine as I use a few) I photograph in RAW format and I can (with a bit of digging) find images from a few years back.

A good surefire way to wipe a card is a DOD (department of defence) binary wipe (7 lots of 0's and 1's across the whole card image or file atructure). I have never managed to get an image back after that.

You can use BCWIPE to do this.

Or everyone can send their SD cards to me for safe keeping. Because I'm such a civic minded person.

We are in the North West & are pretty good with a camera. Yours or ours doesn't matter to us. We also have some lighting kit.

For those that want it we can scan film and print to professional quality at up to A3+ size, including doing stretched canvas.

That is utter bollocks.

There's enough people on this forum who take amazing photos of themselves and they aren't pro photographers. If they can do it, a pro definitely can.

And "pro photographer" means you get paid to do it. And you do it very well.

It doesn't mean "Oh look I bought an expensive camera I have no clue how to use!".

Or even worse "My mum/friend says I take really good photos".

There are some people who are 'naturals' in front of the camera and there are some who aren't. I can take a reasonable photo - but I'm not confident in front of the camera (in general).

If you want a fairly cheap and easy camera to use for self taken images take a look at a Sony qx30.

Links to a phone or tablet using an app so you can stick it on a tripod, pose while seeing the image, then just have the phone out of sight, check pose and take the shot.

Pretty good quality.

Most important thing is to edit the photo after to get good colour,contrast and lighting, use GIMP it's a free photo editing software.

I'm very keen to shoot couples playing. I like Newton and Mapplethorpe and they form the basis of one of my ongoing projects.

I've booked two couples here for these shoots but it seems it was all just talk from their side.

Yep, a lot of photographers get into it because they prefer being behind the camera, not in front of it. As a pro, if you can't even show your skills off with a creative body pic, then no you aren't a pro.

And just no. No excuse whatsoever.

I had one of these "pros" offer to shoot me. Said he had a portfolio of woe to show me. He sent me a few photos on kik. Very good they were too!

A quick search on google reverse image search showed he'd stolen them from boudoir photography and nude photography websites in England, Ireland and the US. Bless him.

I always love how people define professional in any field.

Used to be when you were paid for your services, then it were when you've been published, then it were if your a member of trade bodies, then it were when a certain percent of your income is derived from it, now in this instance its how well you do selfies.

No wonder half of instagram thinks they are professionals
