So why the alias? I know of a great Photographer in Raleigh, but I'm not giving his name to some random alias...

Then there's the "yo" and "peeps" thing. I wouldn't take a request like the OPs seriously.

Yo
Anyone know a place to get real nice pictures in Raleigh? Or of any really good photographer near the area. I know a girl looking to get some good professional model and sensual pictures taken and she tired of using her cell phone pics on her ads, lmao. I dont think she care about price she just wants them to look really good. I wanted to surprise her with the information next time I see her. I think she would be happy.

Thx. Raleigh peeps.

And not send our provider friends to whackjobs, as well as not send whackjob providers to our photographer friends. We like to know someone is legit first.

HAE

If its not an illegal business whats the problem? This guy is inquiring about photos.. I get "newbie"posts and being leery in this biz but its photos here people, something very legit. I really dont see the problem with him looking for recommendations for a lady he knows is looking. Every guy(you know what I mean) on this board is a guy with camera.. trolling. There are tons of "photographers" on these boards and 95% are GWC. Also most photography business is referral and word of mouth and Im sure anyone you can recommend can be googled so whats the secret?

Google is your friend. Look for "boudoir" photographers in the specific town she lives. Many work with escorts, find a female one. If she shows her face I highly recommend her getting professional makeup done for her shoot.

Interesting you all have covers. I use peeps to be cute an funny personally.

I also love peeps at Easter. he he

We're just protective of our own. You posted under an alias, which is fine, but since we have no idea who you are, no one is in a hurry to offer you info. If I gave you info, and then got a pissed off phone call from a photog friend that I sent him some weirdo, or a pimp trying to get pictures for his girls, or a totally unprofessional provider that was late/rude/never showed/etc then guess what? It would effect our relationship. So why risk it unless you know someone is legit? My suggestion to you would be to do some browsing, and contact some local girls there that have nice professional pictures you like. I'm sure one will be more than happy to help you if you are real.

to talk to just any random stranger about taking pictures of someones "friend" in the business. Many like to keep their "regular" photography separate from their "adult business" photography. They like to remain discreet about it. The bigger names in the business don't always care, but your average joe isn't going to be as obvious about taking pictures for hookers. It might hurt his wedding, baby shower and bah mitzvah  business. Thats why they usually work through referrals within the hobby.

It could be a very big problem... not a lawyer but, taking pics professionally with knowledge that they are to be used in this "business" could be considered a felony by some over zealous le types who might charge  the photo expert with "promoting"...  It's very prudent to keep this info private when the poster chooses not to use his "real" board handle.

Was just trying to help and surprise a girl I know, yo.  I thought it was a good thing. Didn't mean to piss you all off.
