Putting the feelers out there.
Hi everyone
I am (by my own admission) a very amateur photographer. I have no examples of my previous work, as I have none. However, I do have a good eye (some people say I have two) and I fancy taking photos of bands; either portraits on location somewhere (as I have no studio), or live shots at gigs. I have invested some money in a new digital SLR camera and I'm ready to get out there.
So, like a band with no reputation, how do you get experience? You keep your prices low and hope that satisfied customers will recommend your work to others. With that in mind, I'm offering the following service. Subject to mileage costs agreed prior to the session, you name your own price for the photos you want, if you want them. And if you dont want any, then you don't even pay the agreed mileage costs. No negotiation on my part, although I can't promise not to be offended if you take the piss!
I will meet you at an agreed location or at your gig with my camera. I will take a load of portrait or live photos or a mix of both. At the end of the session, you can review the photos on the camera. If you like some or all of them, you name your price. I will send you the colour photos either on a CD or via e-mail (depending on numbers).
If that's sounds too good to be true, then it's because I am relying on your honesty in offering a fair price for whatever photos you decide you want. If it works for Radiohead, it works for me. But this deal cannot last forever, so the first few bands to register their interest via a PM will get first refusal. And be quick, because my time is limited.
PM me your details if you are interested. This offer applies equally to venues who may be looking for promo shots.
