Hello Janet! =)

Hope all is well & wanted to inquire on a unique photo request/assistance! Well, we're having a surprise 40th b-day party in Mid-December for a girlfriend of ours and needing a pic of me (Frank) taken from ONLY the waist down in a pair of tan sheer pantyhose and then place the pic in her b-day card. Then upon removing all the $$ in her card, she'll come to the pic and "SURPRISE!!!" LOL!!

So my question is can you help with is and how much would you charge for a session of all about 30 minutes? The quality of the pic (s) are not important but needing it done! =)

Cheers,

Frank

Well, you guys know where to refer this type of inquiry to if you don't feel comfortable doing it.
I "broke my cherry" so to speak by shooting the Miss Nude California contest about 100 yrs ago.
Seen it all.

Kind of creepy for sure, but if a response was warranted you could say you don't charge by time but difficulty of a project. Because you would have had to stop and vomit every so often, it would be quite difficult. $5,000 minimum!

My wife (now ex) was a massage therapist. Occasionally she would get a phone call (as would every other MT in the area) from a guy claiming to have a 'medical condition' from a some surgery he had on his groin and needed special 'massaging' of only that area.

Your request reminded me of this. If 'quality doesn't matter' then anyone can take this with a cellphone/P&S. Just another excuse for some guy to expose himself in women's clothing.

If quality doesn't matter, that is a concern. Why contact a pro?
