Based up near Lancaster and I'm looking for someone who is proficient at taking photos and would like to photograph an Aston Martin. Ideally looking for an individual who would consider this an opportunity to expand their portfolio and with the relevant experience .

Hi Bentley, Whilst I remember. I am looking for someone to fly me to the States. You provide the plane and you can get some flying hours under your belt.

Thanks

I own at least 5 cameras, plus several camera phones, all of varying age and quality.

I'll gladly take many, many photos of your car if you just cover my fuel costs and let me have a drive in your Aston biggrin

There was a time I might of said yes to this building hours but not anymore. What I'm looking for is the hour building photography equivalent if indeed it exists.

Does that include food and lodging? If it does, I'll do it.

I thought somebody might. Despite the reaction on here we both know there are people who love to be seen with the cars based on the requests from people getting married, taking kids to their prom and the charity work that gets done.

Art students, photography classes, some of these might be worth a shout.

Some sarcastic bhiness going on right here.

Iv seen many threads on here of wanna be car photographers offering to take pictures of cars for free to build a portfolio, or they just like doing it. So don't see how this is any different he's just putting the feelers out, not holding a gun to there head saying do it or else...

Jesus.

Still happy if you'd like to paint my house wink

We've had loads of chancers trying to get free pics over the years. Offering your services FOC is VERY different from asking for something FOC. Not a problem asking, but getting burned for doing so goes with the territory.

Thanks Jon for the voice of reason. The idea came from someone on here who asked to take pictures of the car and then it fell through. Once I had thought about it seemed like it might be of mutual benefit for someone who wants to take interesting pictures and for me to have decent pictures taken. Oh well never mind !!!!

Ah hell you guys are rough sometimes.

I'm experienced, have a great kit bag and know my photography, just not shot a lot of cars.

I'll do it if you cover travel expenses.
