There are a number of professional photographers available for providers to hire to get photos for their advertising purposes... Aldo Antonio, ClickStudio, Santillo, Scott Church etc. etc.

That could also apply to mechanics, handymen, lawyers, doctors, plumbers, landscapers, priests, etc.  You don't go to a doctor and say "Check my prostate and I'll fix your car". Cash for services goes both ways.  

Kinda silly to even say that, I think. It's still a free country!

that arrogant, or did you have to go to college ?

I want cash for sex/time/companionship/whatever. I will pay a photographer with cash.

First off, I prefer to keep boundaries well defined. As some-guy said, there may be a conflict of interest that could present its self.  
Secondly I adore my photographer! She is incredible, and makes me feel perfectly at ease. I don't think I could feel nearly as comfortable in a trade situation, which would likely lead to less quality product.

I would not consider having a client take my photos even if his background is photography and trade services for the shoot.
I know people do it.Just not my thing.
I have no issue with spending money for my photo shoots with professional photographers and I pay them for their time and my photos.Lately I have been working with female photographers a nice perspective a different eye than a male photographer.
A client and he has access to all of my photos..no sir that is not going to work for me ever!
I can see so many ways that can go wrong.

Bwahaha!

provider's hour fee and photographer's hour fee? Exchange happens when two items have the same value. I know that pehaps many of you say that it is not my business to evaluate how skillful photographer is and that "art value" is very specific and abstract. Some paintings cost big bucks and some may ponder why this costs so much. I have no clue why famous "black square" by Malevich costs that much. For me, it has no value at all. I can go on and on, but to put it simple - how many starved providers you know and how many starved photographers you know. I bet that photographers are in worse condition and that's why provider's hour cost is more valuable than a photographer's. Unless you are famous, handsome and with lots of lots of charm Or you may get just lucky

Trading services for pictures is never a good idea pay for your images and you get what you want. I also hate overly photoshopped images. On another note watermark your pictures ladies I just spotted a fake on a google image search of me apparently locking the right click option isn't enough with screenshot

(1) the premise seems kinda pervy... let me take nude pictures of you for free and then you screw me for free... yeah i dont' think so.

I've absolutely bartered services with a client of mine who ended up being a really well-known, talented photographer. I even barter services with clients of mine who are tattoo artists, pot dealers etc etc.

I don't mean "one of the worst" I mean the VERY worst reputation in the entire business for photo shopping of any photographer in the business.

Good to know I didnt know that but I specifically requested him to do as minimal shopping lol

I've been asked by providers if I would consider trading for services and my response has always been "No, but my rates are very competitive"  or something similar to that.  

1. Me offering to fuck a photographer for free does not pay that person's bills. Truly great photography skills are something someone invests in. It's also a job that gets massively devalued. I know how that feels and I'd never do that to another person who's work struck me enough to ask for their services.  

I agree.

Free country?!  I'll believe that tired old line when escorting and weed are legal.
