LOL - Is it is someone on here?

Pro Photographer Looking for People to Do Their Job Without Pay (Boston)

I am a photographer and since people are always looking for free shoots I assume that they must also do their job, or provide their services, for free.

I am looking to hire all types of people to do all sorts of jobs for me, as long as I do not have to pay anything. Just think, you will gain more experience, and I will put the word out for you and let everyone know what wonderful work you do. This opportunity will bring you a ton of unpaid work, but everyone will love you. So if you have a job or service you provide, and will do it for free, please let me know, because I am sure I have work for you and will hire you in a second.

Feel free to email me with the service you can provide, when you can start, and please include references.

I look forward to your free service.

Thanks,
:)

Nice to see things aren't any different anywhere else. There's a guy here who occasionally posts replies like that on CL.

I think there may be a marketing strategy with this. New job class of booking agent.

Great CL post. Trolling the internet. Worthy enough to be in the best of craigslist category.

As soon as I read that, I thought of this place.


If you can list all your gear in your sig line, you don't have enough stuff.

its the same in the comic book world.

"hey I got this awesome story and just need an artist, I cant pay you but once my 2nd book blows up Ill get you some cash." Almost every day there is someone posting something just like that.

When I was studying commercial photography, a teacher once told us - 'Never prostitute yourself'. Wise words.

This has been around a while. Nothing new here. Yes, you can all chuckle, but it only adds to the pretentious image of "Pro Photographer". What "pro" is trolling for business in the dirty ally of CL anyway?
