I using Pixaria, that way I can check who download what, when and how many time plus control their access, it also nice is it has a bit more of that professional appeal.

In the past I done everything you guy have suggested (apart from drop box) but now at least is a model does download or get back to you the images are there for all models and clients to look at, plus the model can get them at a later date without hassling you to re-upload the zip.

It gives the model the ability to cherry pick after retouching, but I am only using this as I had the software for my own image bank.

Thank you all, it's made me think a little more on what works...

Thanks for help and advice, Windows 8 oh sugar only just getting used to 7 if they want to produce something for tablets why not just produce software for them? suppose its just money. Now just need to try to get the few files off olds hard drive that I forgot to back up, Any ideas? can I just rip old drive out and connect and access through laptop? or my old computer. And another hard drive for back up is on list.

the iphone photos look ok to me s' long as the purchasers of the services have seen and ok the style of the results.
pro photographer sour grapes? a waste of £4000's worth of kit?
I'll stick to using disposable kodak cameras for weddings. LOL

I'm considering selling the above, which is currently my back up camera.  Owned from new and well looked after.  Not sure on the shutter count, but will determine that for sure in the next day or two.  Could also possibly be interested in doing a deal with a 7d plus cash coming my way.  Anyone interested?  Drop me a PM...

So lets have a 3/4 Professional check box as an option

I don't think it's a matter of obsession. It's a matter of objective observation. Tattoos are inherently noticeable, and that is, I presume, one of the many reasons why people have them. As far as obsession goes, is it the tattooed person or the person who dislikes tattoos who is more obsessed with them? I'm sure tattoos become an addiction for some.

But that's a digression. If you don't think tattoos become focal points in images, show me the picture where you haven't had your eyes drawn to a visible tattoo. As I said before, if that is the intention with the image (and I reiterate my point that this can be done very creatively), the tattoo fits and can be wonderfully artistic. Otherwise it's a distraction.

And don't think this principle applies only to tattoos. It's about all noticeable objects in images. You'll always notice the pylon on the distant hill in a landscape, even if everything else about the photo is perfect. You'll always notice the solitary plastic bottle on a photo of a pebble beach, even when it only occupies a few pixels. A model can be wearing the loveliest dress ever designed, but you'll still notice the label sticking out.

So the point is not to argue for or against tattoos. It's recognising that they're visible and do form an obvious part of an image. So it's perfectly reasonable for some photographers to choose not to work with people whose tattoos wouldn't fit the desired style and message of the shot.

What's unreasonable is to suggest that the presence of a tattoo doesn't affect an image.

Still available

I may have missed something but how did the Police know it was yours, and how to contact you. Im impressed and surprised by there efficiency !

Girl management -> http://www.girlmanagementuk.com/ Lucy Pinder is their creative director and lots of the girls you see in the papers and magazines are signed to them Mode Models London -> http://modelondon.com/girls/categories-portfolio/girls/ have models like Jo Moore on here on their books Sam Bond -> http://www.samanthabond.co.uk/ You probably want to build your portfolio more before contacting the agencies but see what they say.

I would say they usually offer good value for money as Calumet see it as a way of getting potential customers through there doors, much like a Casino offers a discounted (or free) menu !

Very good...

I'm giving thanks to the amazing Nik Sargent http://www.purestorm.com/inpictures with his super photographic skills and editing,  this image of me, which is a tribute to Titian's Venus of Urbino, painted in 1538, but with a contemporary twist, has won a 'Highly Commended' in April's SWPP International Image Competition in the Digital Art Category.

Very true. But if she's not materialistic there's nothing to stop her asking her admirers to donate the thousands of pounds that the 'wants' on her wish list cost to charities instead. But then I suppose that would mean her having to drive bangers, look after and make the most of the teeth and boobs she's already got, wear high street branded shoes and sit on a DFS sofa, and that would never do, would it?

EVENT NOW SOLD OUT - STAY TUNED FOR NEXT EVENT

Hi Emma,
It's Pete...any idea what you want for your D70 please?

HI the camera has been fired 8676 times. Price Im am open to offers but will make a decision ASAP as I have several interested on this site - so please make me an offer!

It's repeated Tuesday 23:50

Fran Halsall: Light & Shadow The Art of Landscape Photography (pub. price £16.99) is a great book by a great British photographer.

I have for sale a fantastic D70, it has genuinely only done 1000 shutter activations and as such is completely unmarked, no grease marks on the rubber grip, the hotshoe is unmarked and the rear screen and cover are as new and everything still has that new feel to it right down to the battery and charger. It comes complete with box(even that looks new) and a genuine Nikon remote shutter release,a soft carry case and all the paperwork/ installation cd etc. It has been my wife's camera and as you can tell she never uses it so its time for it to go to a new home, open to offers

Now sold

i think you have a great body/look but none of the images you have really show your full potential, would love to see what you can do with a creative/alternative photographer away from a white background!
