I seriously doubt that you are going to find a professional to work for free - wishful thinking

You could ask around and see if anyone in your circle knows an amateur or photgraphic club member who might be prepared to take some shots for you - although you may still have to do your own printing etc

Professionals... probably not unless you already have a top class portfolio and are just looking for updates or something fresh, but there are plenty of amateurs around Sweden who could be willing to help out.

I do a lot of model photography, but I am not looking for anyone at the moment, but you could sign up as a model on http://www.modellbilder.se/ There are plenty of amateurs and semi-pro photogs here who could be willing to help out.

Where is Sweden are you based?

babylove,

If you can post one of your pics on here we may be able to provide some valuable advice on the way to go.

hey, you can sign up here for free, I am a model and I had a deal with some photographers in Umeå meaning you will not pay them and they will not pay you, here is the site http://www.modelmayhem.com/

Hej there... I'm an amateur photographer, mainly focused on inanimate composition (architecture, abstract, etc.) but do want to get into portraits / live subject shots. I'd be happy to work with you and see what we can come up with. I'm currently in Canada but will be moving back to Stockholm in 10 days (arrive Nov 12) - sometime thereafter would work. Let me know your thoughts... Thanks!

Try Frida Borjeson at www.fridaborjeson.com or her www.fridaborjeson.net
She is an amazing photographer.She's not inclined to work for nothing but if she thinks something is interesting or it's a new angle for her, she often does it to expand her own portfolio.

Just a word of warning - make sure that you have a contract concerning uses of the shots

Was watching Judge Judy last week in a case where a girls "free photographer" sold on her shots where they ended up used on advertising flyers for a pole dancing and sex club

Funny you should mention that, my photos have ended up on the web page of a local club. However the "model" works there

'The Nine' ,Thanks

Oh well at least not a cheat then

In the case I saw on TV someone had photo shopped the pole into the picture

Posted by: tattoodle 2.Nov.2009, 03:27 PM

Im glad you like it, just upload some pics there and browse some photographers in Sweden and send them a message that you want a deal or tfp shoot-meaning no money invlolve, just be careful signing the contracts make sure it's in english and if it's not have someone to translate it for you, and lastly don't go to any photoshoot alone.
Where are you here in Sweden btw?

Posted by: Renfeh Hguh 2.Nov.2009, 04:34 PM

I have the pole, so no photoshopping for me

Just as a point of reference for several other posters, RE: photo use and ownership. A photographer owns their own work unless they have agreed a fee and disclaimer for the rights to exploitation also interlecual copyright. If you want stuff for nothing you are not going to get that. I recently paid someone 7000kr for a picture for an album cover.
Techically that is all I could use it for. Not for posters to promote that album or for pack shots for magazines. {they should command another payment as its another exploitation of their work} Don't bite the hand that feeds you. Most photographers are happy for their work to be used in other ways just as long as they get a credit but if you start getting high and mighty about use, you aint gonna get it for nothing.
