Are You Kidding ME.........

I am Appalled that you even would post this on the board. Kinda seems like you know what you did was wrong. Since I am the provider you are referring to I would love to Share My Side of this story.Ladies I highly suggest that You never Use this "photographer" Because Of these reason stated.....

Yes I emailed him asking him if he would take my photos. [first mistake] It was only After he had emailed me [repeatedly] telling me how great His service was and Oh he Has all the right Lighting I had nothing to worry about. I would get a majority of my photos that night and the rest about a week later. To a new provider this sounded like a "Dream Come True" if yah know what I mean [HA]

So we Scheduled our time and I went And Purchased outfits and shoes and got my Hair All Nicely done I even got my Toes and my nails Painted Because "This guy was so good" LOL

To Make a  Long story short The Guy came in Took some great photos from what he was telling me at least. I was in about 4 different outfits 3 different backgrounds Im talking the whole nine  We finish he tells me he will start working on them as soon as possible and get them back to me.

Okay so what it all Boils down to is This:
I received about 7 Photos with All the same outfits 2 backgrounds with the exception of one.
So for you DH to state that you did so much Are You KIDDING ME if You were only going to give me the photos from one outfit one background the other 300 photos would not have been taken. So yes I do feel I was jipped in the whole thing. I know the session was totally free [on Both Sides] I also feel you could have informed me on what I was really doing there!!!

I don't blame You [Im a Sexy Gal]
YES I told him I would tell everyone and make sure he would NEVER get any business anymore EVER, but I had to get his Heart Pumping some way right! I mean what is a girl suppose to do?

Im a Fairly NEW provider and I have been warned About the weirdo's that just take your photos and use them for there OWN self desires but I guess I just had to see for myself

Just my .02
Ladies PM me if you want anymore details!!!
DH Have a Great Day Hun
THANKS FOR YOUR HARD EFFORT

Well said.

Most of these 'photographers' prey on the newer, younger, more vulnerable ladies. It's sad, but the reality is..they wouldn't do it if the ladies would just learn that nothing is ever free. If is seems to good to be true, it usually is. Freebies like this often come with hidden agendas and expectations..

Another synic amongst the rest of the nay sayers.

Helping a lady out with photos is not all that uncommon nor difficult to do.  

I have done it two ways, I'll bring a camera that uses film, take a certain number of photos with the film the lady has purcheased.  After each roll is taken it is set aside for the lady to keep, this presents one problem, how to get them developed and where.  Some of the develpoers for this are not so trust worthy and unless you have your own dark room, a pain in the ass.  OR she can come over to my place and I will develope them with her present, she pays for the developing process and paper and takes the photos with her and brings the negatives when she comes and leaves.

2nd method is she brings her own digital camera or buys a memory stick for mine which I will provide.  When we are done, I will provide her with the memory stick, she can then buy the docking system/firewire and load them to her own laptop and she can edit them herself or I will do it for her right in front of her.  I never take the photos into my possesion EVER!  Now I am not looking for that type of photo for my portfolio as I am a family photographer and it would not be acceptable on my studio table for all to see.

Now you ask why would anyone do FREE shoots?  I do them all the time, if the person is willing to take on the developing part, I often do favors for publicity purposes.

Now my money comes from those that want quality photos with no hastle or involvement.  Make me look good and tell me what it will cost me!

I scoff at the need for model releases, bah humbug, if you are a good photographer, your clients will have no problem signing a copy of a photo for your portfolio.  Those photogs that want to hold negatives and photos for ransom should be all out of business for stupidity reasons if nothing else.

People are not stupid, they understand not every frame turns out, I don't worry about others showing photos I took that did not turn out, why would they?  They want to show themselves at their best right?  Now if you take 150 frames and none of them are good quality, watch the shit storm begin.  

500 photos in one shoot?  I feel bad for Kristen, no need for that many frames rediculous!  I take 30-50 frames per dressing change or back drop, and I get way more than enough good frames.

This was a case of inexperience yes, but way too much thinking as well.

DH, learn to take photos of quality. Lighting takes 1-2 shots per lighting change ,that is it!  Learn to get your model to shine, that takes practice and a GOOD EYE!  Kristen is naturally beautiful and my god, she wasn't wearing that much to fuck up a picture so you are shooting natural beauty.  A facial expression and natural movement is all that is needed.  Setting, a hotel room most times has way more lighting than is needed, you would swear that someoen wanted to tan under the lights in a hotel room, count them at least 10 freaking bulbs in one small room.  Not too mention natural sunlight through an open window!

Kristen all this stated above, I also know of at least 4 ladies that LOVE to take photos, and with you as a model, you might be surprised at the outcome and cost to get it done!  Post on the PO board, you just might find a viable solution there as well!  Sorry you had to spend that much time posing....you must have been exhausted when it was over!

Blabber mouth out!  Going to be another great sunset...time to dig out the camera, no added lighting needed!

No, this is not something I've noticed. Sadly, every provider on this board has been through a hazing. From Alissa to Vanessa, with Anya and Greenly and Kristen and others in between, new providers always have always had to scrap with someone in order to make their place on this board. Why are you feigning innocence while you cast aspersions upon everyone but some nebulous "best providers"?

Mirrors have values.

why is a photographer coming on a p4p site to trash a provider?   His complaint doesn't belong here.  Her sending a nasty gram to a photographer has ZERO to do with her ability to perform her job as an escort.

Many of us ask our gentlemen friends to take shots for us.  But, we have them take those shots with OUR cameras so we can maintain control over what happens with OUR pictures.  We do use those pictures sometimes.  So, the times haven't changed all that much.
