Can't afford new pics....

Can anyone help? Send me a PM, please. I may be able to pay something($), but not as much as most photographers are asking.

I don't know him personally, but he seems very nice

If she's going for a professional image, I would highly advice against camera phone pictures. Unless she's some kind of pro at DIY photos then she should leave it to the pros. Our photos makes us money in this business. It's not something to toy with.

A mixture of pro pics and amateur pics are always nice but most guys despise camera phone pictures. OP, Create an account on model mayhem. I'm sure you'll get some photographers wanting to work with you on TFPs (Time for Prints).

Well honestly, I'm lucky if I get 2 legit calls a week. I have someone I have to support as well as other bills. Oh, and a babysitter overnight can cost a pretty penny. Unfortunately, I can't offer my services for anything other than help$.

Ok this wasn't necessary. You are judging her and you shouldn't. You don't know what the costs are involved to set up and maintain a business in the hobby. In addition not all women that are providers do volume. So please don't make assumptions about what the women make or don't make in this line of business.

[Guest101114]

Some people don't work alot(like me)so we really can't afford it!! But I have seen providers professional pics then met them and they looked nothing like it!! Gents have complained to me that I was nice to see because I don't put on a "mask" some of the providers are all dolled up in pics but when the gent opened the door they were in sweats and looked completely different-so I think a mixture is good-pictures may get some business but i think the #1 thing is word of mouth/reviews

A good photographer knows how to make your pictures look like YOU. Anyone can alter their identity (Photoshop). A good photographer can make you look good without all that. In the modeling world, models need portfolios to go get work. If they don't look like their photos, they'll get turned down at a go-see. Now a model would be pretty silly to alter her identity and go to a go see thinking she'll get the job. So yes it is possible to have professional pictures taken of you without photo-shop. It looks way classier than cell phone pictures. Saying your not going to take professional pictures because you don't want to alter your idenity is just another excuse. Photoshop alters your identity not the camera. Now if you can't afford it , that's another story. Anyone can create a profile on model mayhem and find at least 2 or 3 photographers that'll agree to shoot them on a time for prints basis.

.... I always keep a mixture of pictures. Both professional and self shot pics (with an actual camera) and I have heard no complaints. Good luck OP!

t just thought it odd that guys get crucified when we mention $ being tight and the hint of a discount is met with rage yet a beautiful woman with something to sell or trade that every man here is looking for is not chastised in the least for asking for a service gratis. i do understand costs involved and how difficult it is to make ends meet but i gotta wonder how many guys the op would be willing to do for free because we needed her service but could not afford it. unlike many businesses she has the abillity to structure rates and dates to generate the income needed to get services desired if thats the path she chooses.

It pretty much comes down to this. If you want people to take you seriously, get professional pictures.
However, I get what you're saying.

I don't claim to be an expert with a camera, but I'd be willing to take a few pictures before, during or after a session for a small discout or free if we hit it off. I am about 4 hours from Houston, but can't get away this weekend -- PM if interested.
