Are you interested in having free lifestyle photographs taken?

I am an amateur photographer that enjoys photographing nature, architecture, and candid photos of people living and enjoying life.

I am considering offering a limited number of photography sessions for no charge.

I will supply two sets of images from the session on a memory card or USB stick. One suitable for sharing online and another set of high quality for printing up to at least 11x17 (larger on a limited quantity of special requests)

I have posted some examples of my photography in the Picture Perfect forum here in TOTV over the past few weeks. There are a couple of examples below in this post.

What I mean by Lifestyle photography include candid (unposed) photographs of these types of events:

Special occasions including:

- dining with someone special
- golfing - individual and groups
- participating in hobbies and clubs
- friends and family arriving at an airport
- friends and family leaving on a trip
- driveway or block party with friends and neighbors
- backyard barbeque with friends
- entertaining visiting family and friends
- birthdays, Christmas, and other holiday events


Documentary photos

- Candid portraits at a location of your choice
- Home interior or exterior (useful for sales)
- Automobiles, RVs, and motorcycles.
- Paintings and possessions (documentation)


Excluded

- I do not jump out of working airplanes.
- I do not swim with sharks (anymore)


Included

- I will travel, but you pay travel expenses including any room and board.


By candid, I mean I lurk around and take photos of the event and subjects. If you want to be sure to get pictures of someone or something that happens at a group event, you can request those beforehand, I will try, but I can't guarantee to get what you asked.

Since this is a hobby and there is no charge. I strongly recommend hiring a professional photographer for critical events - like weddings, funerals, Bat Mitzvah, etc. I will be glad to photograph these events, but I will not charge and will not guarantee any photos. I will do my best.

I am doing this to expand my photography knowledge and hobby.

You can think of it as I am offering to do this photography for you for no charge. In return, you will allow me to "practice" and "learn" by taking your photographs.

In all cases, all recognizable subjects (you and your family and friends) in the photographs, get permission to use the pictures in any manner including any form of reproduction for display, distribution, or sale.

I will retain copyright, as the creator, with your permission to display and reproduce the images in any manner I want with the exclusion of the sale or of making any form of profit or any commercial usage.

In other words, I acknowledge I will not sell or make money off the sale of any photograph of you or any other subjects.

That's a lot of jargon to say you can do anything you want with the pictures, and I can do anything I want except making money off them.

If anyone is interested in scheduling a session or a meeting to discuss a session, you can contact me here via private messages or by replying to this post.

Here is a couple of examples of recent photos.
