I want to expand my portfolio of pictures of classic, collectible, custom, and racing cars and would like to shoot your car for use in my stock photography library. Photos in my stock library may end up illustrating book or magazine articles, but will not be used for advertising.
If you have an interesting vehicle and would like high-quality prints and digital photos of it, let me make you the following offer:
In exchange for your time at a photo shoot (which should not take more than an hour or two) I will offer you two 8x12 prints of your car, professionally printed on Kodak photo paper (a $50 value at my usual rates), as well as a high-resolution JPEG of every quality photo from the shoot. Additional prints, should you want them, will be available now and in the future for an extra charge. I will also notify you should your vehicle appear in print.
For a sample of my automotive photography, you can view some photos taken at this year's Chicago Auto Show here. Other samples of my photographic work are available in my online portfolio
If you are interested, please PM me here or respond via email to rob@gravenimages.us with a description of your vehicle and times in the coming month when you might be available.
Please feel free to pass this invitation on to anyone else you know who might be interested!
Thanks.  |
First of all, your pictures suck. If you gonna try and "solicit" your business or services to us (or anyone for that matter), might wanna make sure its worth our time and money spent. In your case, we're better off taking pictures with a PlaySkool camera from Toys R Us.
Second, you have contradicting stories about whether or not
YOU'RE making money off
OUR cars. You either are or you're not and from the way you're tryin to manipulate your stories, it seems like you're going to make money but not tell anyone about it. In case you missed the memo, that's NOT cool.
Third, you're pretty much fucked with taking pictures in the car scene in Chicago. With how you fucked yourself over in this thread, many of our members are members of other boards as well. As soon as they see you try and solicit there, they will shoot your ass down.
Fourth, thread locked.
