We are looking to do another photo shoot... Any recommendations??

www.Modelmayhem.com.  I know that many of the women here have used the same photographer, and the guy is pretty good. But, there are lots of really good exotic/erotic photogs who have accounts on modelmayhem.  So, I wouldn't wait for the local escort's favorite to come back to town. It might be a while.  

You can search for photographers, on MM,  by state, and other criteria, and then just page through their profiles to see if any strike you as what you want.   The search function and contact  is free, but you may have to register to see some of the more erotic photos. Registering is very anonymous.  

Of course, like any site, there are plenty of average or just plain bad talents there as well.  But, its a good place to start.  

And, I also think Samantha Good does some freelance photography.  Not sure of the details, but I remember one of her discussions about photography.  

Good Luck. You both look very photogenic..

My photographer.  Check your PM.
He's the Best in Minnesota. (IMHO)

You tell him what you want, he can do it.  

PLUS he understands this business   :)

I'd also be interested in knowing who does nice photos. It'd be nice if you could also PM me, portia. Or if anyone else has suggestions it'd be appreciated :) Thanks!

ok, EOM means end of message.  Nothing is here when you click on it.  


Or IS there.....

:D

She did most of the pics of the ladies in the Christmas photo thread that was so very popular.

Also, I am hoping to get Aldo Antonio here around state fair time.   I sent you a PM.

Aldo Antonio's pics look very fake. I dont know who tells the gals that those altered pics are great.

First, let's stop thinking of Photoshop as a bad word!

Aldo's pics mimic the current style of magazine fashion pics and are very good. On the other hand, if you ever zoom in on the typical fashion magazine pic, you'll notice that the models have no pores! It's a useful Photoshop technique and lots of people like it.  

In general, I prefer things a little more close up and more "natural." I use Photoshop a lot - and when the model will allow it, I love pumping up the volume.  

Every pic deserves attention, at the very least for pimples and tattoos, color, contrast and the like. Even home Easter pics deserve a little attention. Besides the subject, every pic relies on composition and lighting to be strong, and Photoshop often takes care of anything the camera fails to capture

Last photoshoot I did with Aldo I took 0 edited photos and 100% unedited raw from the shoot photos.  

If a lady wants her pics photoshopped to make herself skinny, tan, more busty or blemish free, etc... great for her, but just because the pics were done by Aldo doesn't mean they were touched up also. I added the blur to my face and name over my body to protect ID and prevent photostealing, and I'd hate it if everyone thought my pics were super photoshopped because Aldo shot them - if it doesn't have his watermark, he didn't edit them! (My pics anyway) He takes wonderful photos regardless of the editing that is done to them, but the model makes up half of the work so keep that in mind.

"Back in the day," photographers made their money by OWNING the negatives, with a business model much like GlamourShots and Lifetouch have these days.  

In the world of digital photography, especially in this context, I totally agree the client should have ownership of the originals if want it, whether shot in raw or jpeg. There may be future uses for those pics -  and having only the compressed web photos may not be particularly helpful. And if a client has the desire, software, skills and time to process their own pictures, why not

For those interested, check out this video, not about distortions, but about basics. Of course, it all depends on the goals of the photo. Like Microsoft Word, most users only know and use about 5% of the capabilities of Photoshop, Lightroom and the various plug-ins.
