I have a question if that's ok?
I have just joined this site, and would like some advise please, I have been into photography for years, and I would love to get into taking shots for profiles etc. I have few idea on how to do things s little differently, as I don't really enjoy taking pictures that are too heavily staged.
I have never done this sort of thing before, and would really like some advice on approaching people on sites like adultwork.
I don't currently have a portfolio, as must of the stuff I have done in the past has been animals and buildings as s hobbiest.
Now, I know a bit about online content, and I could lie and build a pretty convincing portfolio used images from Google, but I want to take the honest approach.
If I do this, and offer sessions for free in exchange for me being able to use some shots as a portfolio, and the client would be free to use the shots too, with maybe a link back to each other, would this be something people might be interested in?
Im really torn on the way forward, as I'm fairly confident that people must get offers like this all the time from people just wanting to take pictures of naked women.
I don't feel confident enough right now to charge for my work, and I don't feel it would be fair, Im also not in a financial position to make bookings of an hour or two for doing shoots. I know I could try finding regular models for this, but I feel women in this line of work are going to be a lot more confident.
If anyone has any suggestions then please shout
