my gal is a stripper who had wanted to have some pro photos taken and was toying with the idea of becoming a provider. she goes to this guy who has an escprt all and photo studio. he had told her a great price on the phone but she gets there and he offers pics and a ad in excahange for a threesome with him and his bi female assistant. LE sting or just a genuine barter ? she called me and i told her to run out the door. anyone else have this experience with this guy?

There are alot of photographers out there that are less than legit.  It could have been a legitimate offer, but has she seen his work??  Chances are he could have brought out a polaroid camera.. lol

Besides, what guy???

who says this guy knows how to take good pictures.  What kind of equipment did he have?   Did he have nice equipment and lighting?  Was there a set for the photos or was she to just stand in the middle of a room naked.  Photography is expensive.  I am only an amateur and I own at least 10k in equipment.  Don't be fooled by unprofessional photographers.  One that you may consider is going with your girl when she has her pictures taken.  Many amateurs will even be happy to trade pictures for your modeling services.  Thus, you spend nothing.  Just make sure all proper paperwork gets signed.

Great advice. Don't barter last minute, LE or not. The whole point of a negotiation is to be in a position of getting what you want at a fair price. Giving sex for goods is as old as time, but the Photog wanted to have his cake and eat it too. Have her find someone that can be professional long enough to get past a 2 minute romp.

name of Howard and Gwen @ a local escort mall. his work looks ok and his site is legit i think?! The midnight mall.

I know Howard and Gwen and yes Howard is a photographer in addition to running MC.  However, I know of many ladies that have had him take pics and none that bartered services for it.  In fact, he has always insisted that he is not interested in that at all.

Howard and Gwen are good people!

You should have done some research.  I, for one, never hire anyone that I can't find prior validated photos and refferences.

Talk shop and check nhis/her work out before you put yourself in a vulnerable position.  Breaking in another party without telling me would be the time I would turn heel and toss the whole idea.

Just my 2 cents
