Weird requests for photos...Have any to share?

[Svetlana]

Last night I got an email from somebody saying they found me through google. I was pretty stoked as it was the first possible job that landed from google search! :) And then I read the email asking me to take "sexy" photos of this guy and his wife. Since I've been doing engagement session,etc I thought that that what he meant (let's face it sometimes a guy's lingo is completely different from a girl's :)), but after a few questions I realized that they want photos of them interracting "sexualy". Whoa! I am trying to steer him in the direction of a boudoir session for his wife only and tastefully done couple's photos, no nudity or bed involved. And how would you handle it?

Did you have any weird inquiries for photos? Please share! :)

I'd shoot it. Money is money to me. ;) Considering what I have shot, I dont think I have had any weird requests. :D

I was asked to shoot some photos for a Suicide Girls model. They would be full frontal, closeups of genitals, etc. Pretty much everything except male interaction. I was considering it until I read the Suicide Girls contract. In short, it could be used as an example of the most unfair (to the artist) contract in the world.

Other than that, I can't really think of anything weird I have been asked to shoot.

I get strange requests all the time. Lots of the "I have a new piercing I want photographed" stuff. The problem is, most of the time the piercings "or tattoos for that matter" are located in areas that should remain hidden from the world at all costs. I don't want to shoot that kind of stuff. I really don't want a reputation for shooting that stuff either.

I just tell them sorry, I don't do that stuff.

Jon.

What kind of contract they had, I wonder?

Just google suicide girls contract. If you don't find it i will post tomorrow. Trust me, they dug this contract from the depths of hell.

My son asks me to take pictures of road kill when we go on bike rides. I wonder if I should think about therapy?

I have read the suicide girls contract if you submit photos your basically screwed as a photographer for two years from your last submission. It is from the 9th level of he'll.

Didn't an Los Angelas superior court throw out SG's modeling contracts? I think they actually lost all their law suits against others and even reached a settlement with one of their former photogs Phillip Warner.

That's the same reason I didn't shoot for SG, the contract is insane. Not to mention the way they pay you. no thanks.

I have a good one. I had an old friend ask me to photograph a series of paw prints left on a table top from her dong that had just past away. She either wanted to cut the table to preserve them or photograph them. I of course photographed them and put together a collage thing with pictuires of her dog. She was happy.

[aroundlsu]

From her dong? That is rather strange.

I'd ask if he prefers to pay by check, cash, or credit card.

Oh and I haven't received any weird requests. I have made weird suggestions though.

I used to work with a guy in my day job who was a bit weird. He always had these ludicrous stories of sexual conquests, his friends' fabulous wealth, country badminton titles held and multiple national dancing competitions won (although googling his name didn't register a single hit). He even chased down another colleague one day on the way to the train station to confide in him about the herpes he'd recently contracted. Anyway, you get the idea that this guy was a bit weird.

So, one day a few of us are having some beers on a Friday after work and he takes me aside and launches into a tale about the amazing sex he has with this particular girl who's half his age (the guy is about 50 for the record), he then tells me how they always talk about how they should get a painting or an artistic photo of them mid act because it's just that beautiful. And then he asks me to take it. I'd had a few beers and reluctantly agreed in principle, fortunately he never followed up, but that was pretty weird.

My very artistic, open minded, and college age daughter volunteered me for a shoot (free) of her art class' latest assignment. I agreed, even set the date aside and was going to do it until I heard that it was to be nude coeds doing body painting. I am sorry, but despite the best efforts she could muster to convince me, that was not a memory I wanted floating around in my head or hers. They got another member of the class to shoot them, and I remain, as always, the undiluted figure of a modern father.

[whuband]

I get weird requests frequently. They start with "give" and end with "free".

Sorry, Sweetheart but I don't kiss and tell. ;) :p
