Hi I have ben interested in photographing females with their horses for sometimes, but find that alot do not like being photographed except at competitions.

Any attractive ladies, age immaterial, like to have some hopefully lovely pics taken of themselves with thier horses. No charges involved. I am in Nottingham area, happy to travel reasonable distance for the right photograph. Please feel free to send Private message if you would prefer.

Really???? Why narrow minded? I think that Happy horse has made a fair comment... If Happy horse is narrow minded, you are superficial! 'Attractive females' ....?
Why not anyone with a horse?
I appreciate your honesty and you want attractive females and there is nothing wrong with that per se, (lets face it, models are attractive!) but don't rip the head off the poster for being suspicious!
Many people have been approached in the past by less than honest 'photographers' who have had ulterior motives. It is up to you to allay fears. I hope you manage to do so and get the pictures you want.
 
I am a photographer myself and I would never dream of posting something like you have - attractive ladies only, it sounds very dubious regardless of your intentions. I am not narrow minded and I don't think your aggressive response will do you any favours at all.

Not at all, just your narrow minded view.

Not narrow minded at all you are the one who stated "am interested in photographing attractive females"

Why make a comment like that! (I too am a photographer) and its an attitude like that that gives us an unfair reputation. (and In my experience it is usually the male photographers)

Then just because you get a bit of stick you cancel the post...typical male...it you can't stand the heat....you know the rest.

I lived in Hucknall until the last couple of years if you are a professional photographer what is you full name? There are hundreds of girls in Hucknall and Watnall and all surrounding areas. About 5 riding schools in the vicinity.

Perhaps no one thought of themselves as unattractive before

Why does it matter if they are pretty or not??? Everyone has the potential to look good.... its up to the photographer to make them look good by using clever angles!!

That said, I would have to stand hidden behind my horse to be improved!!
 
I don't think the OP meant it in the way it came across, if that were posted on a model site no one would think twice, lots of models have horses Malc, try purestorm or model mayhem

However it could have been worded better, as I even giggled at the first line.

OP- whilst I think I can understand why you want pretty subjects for your photographs (I am always on the look out for beautiful horses to photograph to base paintings on!), surely you can understand why the question was asked?! People are quite right to be wary of others on the internet, especially when they are relative strangers asking for attractive girls to photograph- surely you agree?

A bit of reassurance was probably all that was needed! Shame to throw your toys out the pram- you never know you might have had the perfect subjects volunteer! Don't think people will be queueing up now somehow

Well I'm a freelance journalist and I'd like an 'attractive' guy with his own cowboy hat (other western wear optional) to make me cups of tea while I write, but we can't have everything can we

I wonder how it would go down if we advertised for attractive Brides and Grooms only. Would it be necessary to specify height to weight ratio, hair and eye colour or perhaps ask for a photo before accepting the booking? I think we would probably be sued!!

Now are there any very attractive young men wanting to do a photoshoot with a fig leaf?
 
Methinks he is only a 'professional' photographer in that he owns his own camera. And has a 'dark' room.


Seriously, people thinking this kind of thing is genuine is VERY worrying. My friend responded to an ad for models by someone who sounded v.genuine. She got a fair whack of money, and it was all kosher, clothes on, standing around in gardens etc.

Fast forward a couple of months she had a Grade A stalker on her hands - hundreds of emails, texts, calls, and then the threats started. Police were involved, I'm not sure what happened with it (best not to talk to her about it as it upsets her). She had to delete myspace/facebook, get a new phone, move house.

Not worth it!
 
Ironhorse, I am a freelance journalist too, and would be very interested in that service you are suggesting!!!

Pedantic, perhaps you should get a nice girl to come and admire what you can do with ballcocks?

My partner in crime is always on the lookout for nice girls in bikinis for pages 1-3.
I once covered a fundraising antiques fair at the local cathedral and he told me to find a nice girl wearing skimpy clothes to pose with a cLock.
I said no, obviously.....

Ha, another one thrown to the pit of fiery lionesses (and indeed lions) that make up the HHO masses.

Better luck next time.
