Im in Dallas and I am in search of a photographer for my website. I also need some video shoots . I do believe in quality.
I do professional photo/video in the DFW area. PM me for info and examples. Would be happy to work with anyone in the hobby.
Shoot with several photographers with different styles, always make an effort to enjoy the shoot.
If you are enjoying the shoot the results will show it regardless of the technical details! Let the viewer see you in the photos, not just photos of you.
Check out some of the Boudoir Photographers. I've shot with two last summer/fall in Dallas and I've noticed more and more providers now using them. You'd be surprised how many boudoir photogs are actually comfortable with us using their photos of us for these purposes. Also, you could try Model Mayhem and do TFP (time for print). So, it's basically a free shoot but you get all of the proofs.
Also, in regards to vide, Amorous Films is based in Dallas I believe. So D would be someone awesome to get in touch with. He's worked with Alex Rayne (based in England), Tori Valentine (NYC), Erin Black (Chicago), and others. We are working on something for this summer.
