Well, I'm putting together a short 3min flash-intro for my web-site and I plan on doing a "trash the wedding dress" type shoot but in a maternity shoot!
I will admit that I am a simi-pro and would like a few other photographer there during the shoot to help with this project?

What are you offering in exchange?

HeatherLou · 08-26-2009, 06:03 PM

Chris, I don't live near you, so I can't help out in that way.

Are you looking for other photogs to direct you in how to do this? Or are you needing 2nd shooters? If you are really detailed in what your asking, you will get a better response to your post! Good Luck!

Short, 3minutes and web intro don't belong in the same sentence together, sorry. If the pay is good enough I'll come up to help. Sorry if I come across as harsh, but I figured I get you nice and warmed up before the really harsh reality type members show up.

First of all Chris, welcome!

There are a lot of negative things and responses that are running through my head right now but I really will try and check my tongue.

TPF is a great resource and most near everyone here tries to be helpful. I will also try to be helpful.

Have you promised this to a client and now realize that you are way over your head? or are you trying to build up a website and are wanting some promotional material for your site?

If it is for the promotional stuff, do you have the model lined up already, and a time frame set aside? Are you needing someone to come hold reflectors and light sticks? Do you have a budget for this production.

What exactly do you need?

I live in Fort Worth-ish and depending on what you are needing and when, I might be willing to help. Also a "trash the belly" session sounds a little disturbing.

So many Rick Pitino jokes, so little time.

Sounds like he's got a concept - he's got an idea of the shoot - he's obviously got a model - but getting from a to b - without being 100% sure about the steps - he's asking for someone who is a bit more knowledgeable who would be willing to help.

Chris - a 3 minute flash intro on your website will guarantee (that's pronounced 'Gar On TEE! by the way! You've gotta say it in a cajun accent to get the effect! ) you that you will have a REALLY low 'hit' count to your website. I've seen amazing photographers who did video on their site - in an area specifically marked: Video, or other type wording. So that if someone WANTS to watch it, they can.
