Tried posting status updates to see if anyone who actually takes decent photos or is even a professional photographer who’d be interested in shooting me solo or with my partner in an explicit shoot but I got no takers. So I’m trying the forum.
Anybody have any recommendations for a photographer on SH? We had someone from the last site we were on and we did one fantastic shoot but since then he’s kind of panicked and keeps cancelling last minute on us over and over again. Frustrating.
Hi there WolfandMare.
Been known to take a good photo (Took some for a couple on here years ago and for some people on Fet )
Not got any of my work on here but there's a few on Fet.
Had a few photo sessions lined up last year then Covid hit.
Would be interested in helping you out if you want.
Not a pro per say but have had some of my work exibited and used in media.
Hi.
It's another website, more bdsm based but open to all types of lifestyles.
I do get up north from time to time, was due to come up to take some photos for a few couples then Covid hit so not a problem.
Hey;
I can certainly help with this. I'm more of a videographer, producer and director; so if you wanna create a high quality porn vid for yourselves then that's right up my street!
Anyone seeking someone to take pics and videos of you having fun just make sure they use your camera not theirs. Cameras have internal memory as well as removeable memory and you have no idea what they have stored where if they are using their equipment. Deleted images are easy to recover from internal memory, memory cards and the like so if they offer to let you copy images from their card before they delete them just bear in mind that they can recover those images for their own use without you ever knowing.

Most people aren't aware that a person taking a photo is the owner of the copyright in most circumstances and unless specifically agreed otherwise, can legally do with it as they wish (within reason)
But you'll probably find that most of us who are decent with a camera in our hands and actually care about the output wouldn't be keen to use anyone else's equipment with the idea of taking good quality images- its just that a lot of us work hard to get to know our cameras and equipment, so using someone else's Camera is a bit like asking a mechanic to use a set of Lidl spanners to fix your car when he's used to his Snap-on set.
I have turned down shoots people have asked me to do under these circumstance in the past, the challenge for me is producing the best images possible, that people are happy to see themselves in and I am proud of- that's so much less likely with someones holiday camera than the kit I've spent years (and quite a bit of cash to be honest!) putting together and learning to get the best from
The best thing you can do to protect yourself is to be clear about what the images are to be used for (and what they aren't!) in writing, in advance. Agreements like that are considered binding by the courts in terms of copyright and could be used as evidence if a complaint was to be made under the "Revenge Porn" law (Section 33 of the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015) which of course, can't stop people from having seen the images if someone has published them where they shouldn't, but it should provide some reassurance and a deterrent to them.
ALL good photographers should be aware of the above and will be happy to enter into discussions about the images to be taken etc. and what they can and can't be used for- they should be used to such discussions!
Ultimately finding someone you trust isn't easy, but trust your instincts on it and you should have a great time!
If you have any questions about the above, feel free to drop me a line about it.

We tried to find similar on another swinging site that we have been active on for some time. We couldn't find find any one at all.
Had a lot of offers from guys who can "take good photo's on my i-phone" 🙄 It was a little laughable at times!
That being said we did get a lot of people scream facts and figures on who owns photos and recoverable data from SD cards etc with so much emphasis that EVERYONE out there was out to exploit us, it did put us off at the time.
So from our perspective, get to know the person etc and decide if you are happy to establish trust that would make you feel comfortable. Ask what sort of experience etc, get examples of work maybe...then add a brief written agreement as mentioned by Lupua to cover yourselves.
We found that the professional photographers didn't really want to be involved as it is their reputation was at stake, however the 'pro-am / enthusiasts' were often receptive and understood all the points above and why it needs to be that way.
Hope that helps

It all depends on the quality required and the effort the subjects are prepared to make. Pro photographers clearly work to much higher standards with far suprior equipment, proper lighting etc, but as can be seen from the galleries, it's perfectly possible to take reasonable pics with a fairly basic camera or a phone that would certainly suffice for most people's private use. The copyright issue is another factor that would apply to a pro whereas it's highly unlikely an ordinary person would know or care about it any more than a passer by you asked to take a few holiday pics for you would. I wouldn't risk images of that nature being in the hands of anyone else - professional or otherwise. It'd be our cam or no cam lol. Then there's no chance of images being copied or recovered and shared by anyone else. There may be legal options available in the event of misuse by a third party but in reality who'd want to go down that route with all it entails?
Certainly the professional route will yield much higher quality results but it'll also involve more effort and cost than most people here would want to bother with I'd expect. You pays your money and takes your choice.
