photographing

[looking4TS]

Has anyone ever photographed a TS lady and gave them all the pictures you shot for just for the delight of photographing them? I'm a professional photographer, just not models, but I shoot everything from flowers to aircraft.. Just wondering if anyone has had success in that.. not point an shoot camera guys, real pros with good equipment.. Like to know what to expect like was your gear safe, did she let you pose her, did she let you pick the clothing......

[tsntx]

if shes as professional as you claim to be there shouldnt be any probs

just like legit gg models

ts models need direction and will appreciate it just as much as any other pro model

For two years I had the pleasure of photographing a TS friend of mine.....sometimes I posed her other times I just documented her everyday life..... we both kept copies and I never release any without her permission..... we had alot of fun and she got some great free pics

a) Expect her not to show up at the appointment, or
b) expect her to show up 3 hours without any make-up, outfits, etc.
c) expect her to spend 2 hours "getting ready" and then
d) about an hour on the phone with some friend(s)
e) expect her to want to get paid something at the end, even though it's free photo shoot for her, because she expects to get paid for breathing,
f) expect her to lose the first 2 or 3 CD's you make for her wit the pics,
g) expect her to want you to spend 100 hours photoshopping the living crap out of every single shot,
h) Expect her to pretend she doesn't know you the next time you meet after you do all this for her, except if she feels that now that she knows you, you should by her drinks all night at the next tranny party you meet at.

Don't expect
a) her to call you to set up for the shoot even after she asks you 7 times, takes your card a dozen times, and gets angry when she sees you because you promised her a shoot and haven't done it yet,
a) Anything resembling a "thank you",
b) any acknowledgment when she uses the photos commercially,
c) her not to think you're really a trick and this is hat you get off on so she should get paid her escort rates.

Yes,

a number of times and it was a pleasurable experience and I was as professional as I could be. It was thrilling for me and for the girls, they said I gave them a fantasy of being an on location model. I wish I could post the photos here, but I respect their privacy.

T-girl, gg, guy..........just trea tthem with respect and professionalism and you will find people to shoot with. Helps alot if you have a strong portfolio to show them.

With all due respect slinky, thats unfair and a bit harsh. If a legitimate photographer wants to do a freebie shoot I would be on time, professional, ready to go and enthusiastic. I'm sure I'm not alone here.

I've had offers in the past, free shoots from professionals, but they were calling too often, and made me feel uncomfortable. One guy called like 20 times, then said, "hey Melissa, I'm in your area, can I stop by?" That weirded me out, I mean I didn't even know him. My point: sometimes guys use the cover of photographer to get close to a girl, TS, GG whatever.

I agree it is unfair. Also, you are right how some photogs can be creepy and use it to get near a girl. (gg, tg.....whatever)

One of my three girls I shot asked for a LITTLE photoshopping which was easy enough, but honestly all three were really really great experiences I will cherish as a photographer and as a person.


That being said if anyone here does want a free shoot feel free to private message me and I also have other friends who are good with a camera as well.
