Has anyone ever had pro pics done. I am considering having topless ones done in a few months. Not by a Pro but someone exp. with photography in a few months.

Anyone already been there done that any advice for nerves??

hey diane 26... i would just be careful if you are not using a pro that his intentions are right and he doesn't make you do something that you are not comfortable doing....you have smokin bod your biggest worry might be finding someone who doesnt shake too much while shooting ask to see the guys portfolio ( spelling?) and that should give you an
he is aiming with the shoot

Wow thank you.

Yeah I believe there intentions are good I sought them out and they are just getting more exp so dont have to pay and I get proofs. But I am nervous about baring it infront of someone YIKES!! Hoping some ladies here have already done it.

I've never been shot nude by a professional.... but have considered it.

I think you just have to go in there and realize that they see this sort of thing every day, and its just a job for them. Kind of like the GYno ? lol

Good luck and let us see how they turn out if you go!!!!!!!!

I know it's not my place, but make sure the legalities are taken care of also. Just to make sure that the photographer doesn't make any money off your beauty. Find out what is done with the negatives also if they use a traditional camera, and what is done with the digital images after you get your prints.

Oh yeah, what sussed said too, let us see how they turn out

Hi, Diane,

Check with KikiKastle...(Send her a PM) I seem to remember that she stated in one of her comments that she had posed for a pro photographer.

Oh, and like everyone else has said, "Be careful and please share"

just for advice,if the guys says no charge for the pics that would normally be a minimun of 300 for portfolio,be careful,he probably has some alterior motive,you have to watch out for any papers you sign also,because giving up your rights to anything{even if you have the proofs}means he can make money on you,once the pics are out there...you dont have much recourse.....so when you come to n.h.,ill have a photographer that i know,really do them for free....and you own all the rights AND proofs. {although i have an alterior motive too}

HAHA Wonder what that is. Thanks for the advice:)

also, if he shows up with a disposable camera, he might not be the most reputable professional

yeah....watch out, gnappys cheap like that!

Im with these other fine folks.....

When dealing with a photographer, you need to be VERY clear about who the pics will belong to. Just cause you have the proofs doesnt mean the pics are yours. Case in point: I have ALL the proof sheets from my headshots for acting. BUT I dont own the pics. My photographer does and if I want to reproduce any of the images I need his express permission (ie written, cause Kinkos wont create copies with out it). Just watch out and if he asks you to sign ANYTHING have it reviewed before he takes ONE pic.
