Hi there I am offering profile shoots , I am able to travel and have portable studio equipment , I can produce images to a high standard , edited to conceal identity Tattoo identification removal if required , Images done to a high standard and ideal for private gallery use , Terms negotiated on a case by case basis, Depending if you are happy for me to use the images elsewhere or if you wish to retain soul publishing rights i.e. to own the images in which case fee will be higher . Total discretion assured and expected at all times , This is a side line for me and I DO NOT WISH it to crossover with my fashion and portrait work , so any images will not be watermarked with my usual copy right logo
I am working from a 50 mile radius of Chippenham Wiltshire but will go further a field if the assignment is financial viable for me Bobby

If you don't want to post a link to your site that's up to you Bobby, but members are going to seriously struggle without you providing any contact details whatsoever?
-
is it not possible for people to pm message me ?
-
Can I ask where would you want to use the images Bobby?
-
TBH it would depend on the type of shoot , and the nature of the images , but there are some stock image libraries that I submit to , but the images are anonymous and not referenced to any individual , On my own site I would not be interested in posting anything adult as it is not compatible with my usual work profile. , However I am happy to sign over copyright and publishing if the shoot is payed and to be honest its commercial viable for me. So far I a have done images for three profiles and I have not actual published any images from the shoots , In the instances because the ladies wished total anonymity.

No they may not (and vice versa), as you would know had you bothered to read the advertising rules.

Oops Sorry not my intention to offend Amy , Life is a learning experience :) Its a genuine offer but a side line that I don't want to effect my mainstream work , Hence I have not put up all my usual contact details. but anyone that contacts me on my e-mail will receive a professional and discreet service , Model /Photo contract can be signed on the day as well to restrict publishing rights and for model to attain copyright and all publishing if required . If more than one girl would like to shoot on the same day and share the costs that is also an option.

No, that's fine - nobody ever reads them, but it's best not to make assumptions about how things work here if you're not going to do so.
There may well be people here who would be keen to own the copyright to pictures of themselves which they didn't take, since very few photographers are willing to sign it over bearing in mind it's really the only thing that matters. It doesn't matter that it's not your usual contact email, just that there is one.

I don't think there are any escorts that would want their images up on stock photo websites. And with no idea of prices at all it discourages people from contacting you.

Hi there , as I said in my post I'm actually happy to sign. Over publishing / copyright if that is required
As an indication if I'm a shooting at a location you provide , then I would be looking for a flat fee of approx ?150 with no editing , or with 15 edited digital images in an agreed format ?200 that's assuming travel is within ?50 mile radius of Chippenham with copyright agreement ?20.00 additional
As I indicated I would be happy to discuss duscounting this if there more than one girl to shoot as I'm only. Traveling once etc , there is not catch it's a straight genuine offer . I have already accepted 4 bookings one of which I did today so I'm very happy so far !
-
I'm sure they'll be up to let us know what the pictures are like then! I wouldn't pay that kind of money blindly without having seen any of your work.

Hi Please e-mail me on my contact and I can happily send you some sample images , I think you will find that the rates I have posted are very competitive, condidering I'm including Travel and editing thats less than most WG hour rates for what will add up to entire days work for me but then it depends what you want , Good quality classy images will def increase business, Im sure there are cheaper options. NB for client privacy I will not send I identifiable image samples as that would kind go against the service I am trying to provide.

Lol thanks for the business advice... You must have a lot of experience selling your body.

Actually I have none ! and I think it unlikely you would want to buy mine even for a short time :-* but hey never say never ! but on the upside Im a bloody good photographer so give me a break ! Im not sure why you decided to jump all over my post ! If your not interested vote with your feet and don't use me ! but hey live and let live !! life short ;)

Maybe you could set up a simple wordpress or other website especially for your adult photography. Keeping it separate from your main photography.
Then you can showcase your images and market yourself to the adult industry for escorts etc.
Then pop a link on here once it's done. You look a lot more professional and escorts are more likely to click on your website and browse your images and book a shoot.

Has anyone used this photographer and could give a review? He is near me and am thinking of using his services.
Thanks x

I have had quite a bit of interest and few requests for bookings 3 of which I have not been able to do due to the fee offered , what I need is a few girls that once we have shot will let me use them as reference. Also please can I state that I am looking to do this properly and whilst I want to be flexible to get off the ground in this area , If I am asked to provide a Hotel and drive 100 miles for someone I've never met Its isn't commercially viable for me, I'm sure you ladies can appreciate that one, Saturn if it turns out to be worth while then I will def set up a separate web site to promote it, I would need to see that its worth the investment before this however , thank you for you response it is much appreciated

Bobby, whilst nobody knows better than the people here that time is money, it really wouldn't take long to knock a single page Wordpress gallery site together even if it's just so you can send the link to people here :).
What you're unlikely to find is people happy for you to use their work photos on it to promote yourself but if you really haven't got any glamour shots you've taken which would do, there's surely some who might.
As for the pricing, if you let people haggle your prices you're setting yourself for this. If you know how much you need to earn for a shoot to make it worthwhile just tell people that.

Thanks for the constructive comments Amy , I'm having a look at how best to go about it , I don't want to compromise clients I have shot with. That don't want to be tagged as escorts but I think the way round Is as you suggest a link to a private gallery , I have a shoot booked with lady who is happy to allow me to link To her profile when the images go up , for now I can forward images samples by e-mail this will be edited to conceal the models I D
As far as rates go my min fee is ?150 for half day shoot ( travel within 50 miles ) editing another ?50 for full retouching 15-20 images depending on the amount of editing required ( hiding tattoo or scars IE detail work ) but a simple logo / name and face blur is free . hotels venue ,studio is additional and will depend on location etc and I would expect these to be paid for or provided by the model.
