Anybody need gwc. My new I phone camera is 8 megapixels. That's professional quality. And I know the poses that get men to your web page.

LMAO They Can't Possible Be Real "Professional Photographer" Maybe Just A Hobbyist Thats Just A Semi Good Photographer ...

Correct I agree ! That is my opinion of your opinion and POV

Cum to the wetlands Sky and will show you how much of a gentleman I am for you my love. That white horse is a under statement sweetness, they call me the black stallion. Eyes rolling.
I would bring you roses on our first meeting and a five star restaurant. What is your favorite color rose?
Tell me the type of food you enjoy the most my elegant Lady.
You have such a great presents on this board and how you carry yourself is something all women with grace should understand.

They are only in it to shoot the "pretty girls" the "guy with camera". The camera is an excuse to get the pretty girls.. all women deserve good photos, you dont have to be super pretty to have nice photos nor a perfect body. A real pro will pose and light what suits their body type best to get the best photos they can.


Its unprofessional IMO. If you advertise as a professional it doesnt matter what one looks like its a job you are paid for.

Now if its for trade or just for fun then by all means shoot what you want, this is where selective should come in. Originally Posted by LynnT

Well . . .consider that some providers won't agree to see clients who are of one ethnicity or another . . .or men younger than a certin age etc, etc. Most hobbyists also have paramiters that limit who they will seek out, physical and age limits sure, but also where and how they meet. some hobby mostly in clubs, seeking "extras" in a semi-public setting. Others will mostly seek out providers on the street for similar thrill-of-the-chase reasons. Still others only see providers in Agencies or Indy providers. Then there is the whole Sugar-Daddy/ Baby thing.

If a photographer won't shoot a less than barby-doll provider, there are many who will. Check for "Boudoir Photographers". They can mke any woman look her sexy best. Many are women photographers. Thats how they make their living.

Doll,
It's simple why those so called *photogs* discriminate against women with curves/thickness. It's because those *so called wanna be photogs* use the line that they're a photog, to gain access to having their way with the young/thin girls for FREE! Meaning they only photograph the young/thing girls because those are the only ones who appeal to them, the ones they'll try to get freebies from.
And the girls are lucky to get their photos from those men.

One so called Austin Photog, (who's all over the alerts) even went so far as tell a curvy Houston gal, that the photog would need her panties and that he would need to be taken care of. He did all he could to flirt with her to get into her panties before he would even take photos.





Seek out ladies who take photos. They don't discriminate and they're damn good at taking photos of women of all shapes/sizes and race.
And you'll get your photos with no strings attached..

(I hope this thread won't get mean or ugly. I'm just curious.)

I understand a client has his preference on the types of women he likes and wants to see, but as a professional photographer to a client/subject?


Here's the conundrum:

So far I have noticed two photographers on this board who will not photograph women who are not "in shape" or who consider themselves "voluptuous", "thick" or "bbw".

I'm curious as to their reasons why they would not be willing to photograph all types of women.

One photographer advertises "must be in shape" and "between the ages of 18-25" and the other doesn't advertise preference, yet in an email said he doesn't photograph bigger women.

My opinion is that it shouldn't matter if the photographer is or isn't attracted to the subject or if she is too old for him or not, as long as he gets his money and she gets her professional photos.

Providers, what are your feelings on this? Do practices like this dissuade you from doing business with those types of businesses?



P.S.

If there are legit photographers on this board who are willing to photograph all types of women, please feel free to send me a pm. I will be touring after the holidays, and will be needing new photos and can probably go most places for a great photographer.



Thank you for reading my post and hopefully I will get some insight as to why this seems to be an ongoing trend. Originally Posted by Tori Hastings

I do think it's pretty ridiculous to advertise that you'd like to cater to providers because they are not as flakey as models, but then put stipulations on who you'll work with. All ladies/providers deserve to have lovely professional photos done & a good photographer should know how to showcase your best side however old you are or 'in shape' you are.

If we're paying your bills, what difference does it make??

Every time photography comes up, the agendas come out. And the most prevalent one is that male photographers can't be trusted, especially those who don't charge. The idea that someone would invest hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in equipment along with the time to learn how to use it just to save the cost of a donation or as one very vocal female photographer asserts "to see them naked" in the age of internet porn is simply ridiculous.

I'm sure there are plenty of disreputable amateur photographers, there are also plenty of disreputable professional ones, and they come with both sets of genitalia.

If you paint with too broad a brush, you get pretty messy as a result.

As a point of clarification, I am one of those often referred to as a "guy with camera", of course I'm also a "guy with thirty years of experience". Feel free to ask the ladies who's photos I've taken and posted if I have ever, ever asked for more than their time and patience.

Merry Christmas to all (especially the "guys with cameras")!
