Free porfolio websites and photoshoots

[MarkFreeman]

Hi I am a full time web designer and aspiring photographer I offer two things, (not obligation to take up both will help in whatever way s best to u)

Free Websites
. For a few months now I have been designing and host (or not) free portfolio sites for models, dancers and actors. These tend to be one or a few information pages and a gallery/galleries, but don?t be afraid to ask for something different. I am a full time professional html/flash website designer and this page will be made completely how you want it and contain whatever you want, along as it is legal. This site is your to use as YOU see fit, I will never disclose the link to anyone without your permission, on the other hand if you want I can design a banners and provide all the codes, so that you can link to it from your myspace page and anywhere else you wish to. It is all up to you. All images provided will not be used for any other purpose than to make your site and will not be distributed etc.. Basically I design a professional flash site for you, how you want it, for complete free cause I have nothing better to do at work, and it feels nice to help people. I know you might not believe this but I can provide a large number of examples and references on request. If you are not interest no problem thanks for your time but feel free to pass this message on to anybody you think might be interested.

Thank for your time

Photography

The most important thing to say is that my main purpose in doing this is to help you so if you want to do something different etc just say. I do this for a bit of good karma, which is always handy, this means I would never do or ask you to do anything you were not 100% comfortable with, and will go out of my way to try and help and protect you, doing anything else would defeat the point.

Chaperones
I am extremely happy for you to bring a chaperone along with you , whatever makes you comfortable, if I am travelling to you I might want to bring a chaperone with me this would be my friend, Tom (the girl in most the pics) if she did come along she would be available to help with make-up hair etc and tea making, if you are not comfortable with this please say. If required she can also model with you if you want she is not 18 yet so she can not be involved in any shoots that involve nudity.

Location
Location is one of the most important things about a shoot. Personally I do prefer if you come to me but I am perfectly happy to come to you (within reason and if it is well far would be handy if you contributed to travel expenses).

Locations I have
My house (about 17th century I think) with several different rooms I can use including two tidy clutter free bedrooms. One blue bedclothes curtains and cream carpet, one with purple bedclothes and curtains and light blue carpet. Lounge with two sofas and a leather executive massage chair. Pool room with a nearly full size table. Kitchen, oh yeah and a bathroom with old style bath and shower (modern power one though).
Also have a garden with table and chairs tress lawn. It not that big though.

Location near by:
12th (I think) century church and graveyard 30 seconds from my house.
Woodlands there are several different types of woodlands within 5mins drive from my house.
Field there is a wide range or fields both in walking and driving distance.
Half Pipe, graffitied metal half pipe 2 mins walk.

I am happy to shoot at any of these or any location of your choosing and as long as we have a car or somewhere inside can edit the shoot there and then as I have a high powered laptop with all the software.

If required I can provide accommodation for a night/two nights for one or two people we have a double futon downstairs, and all the bedding etc.


Shoot:
I am happy to do a 30min shoot up to a full day/2 of different shoots. Whatever you want.
Styles of shoot:
I am happy to shoot whatever style you want and would never ask you to do anything you are uncomfortable with, I am perfectly happy to shoot nudity if YOU want however it is NO way a requirement or anything gay like that.
I can leave or all organising up to you or set it all up within your guidelines. It is up to you and for your benefit please always remember that I.

Clothes
I do not have any cloths, so you would be expected to provided them. They are of course of your choosing etc , I recommend you bring at least one backup set (shit happens you don?t want it to ruin your shoot) with you just in case something happens and if you are doing a longer shoot bring lots of different cloths that way you will have chooses which is always good.

Hair Makeup
Er I know nothing about this however I can get Tom to give you a hand she is not a professional or anything but I assume an extra pair of hands can be helpful sometimes. I am happy if you want to bring your own people etc, or just do it yourself/before you come to the shoot.

After the shoot
After the shoot you have two options you can either take a CD/DVD with all the image taken and leave straight away (or me leave straight away whichever way round it is), I will then email or post you any edits I do on the images and if you have msn or yahoo msg (or email) can edit them to your specifications.

OR
I can sit down with you and my laptop and edit the photos with you exactly how you want and you will leave will originals and edits burnt onto a cd/dvd. I have all the software etc and it is a high powered laptop, due to regularly editing photos as part of my job I am very fast and efficient at this and would say it would take about 30 mins per shoot/set.

Copyright as stated earlier I am happy to sign over copyright to you aslong as you pick out a couple of photo (preferable from each shoot) and we share the copyright on these images so I can use them in my online portfolio, the images selected are 100% your choose. If you are doing a shoot for something like Suicide Girls or porn sites this can be a little trick so can either just take a couple of other pics not I the same setting or I will just not bother with sharing the copyright. This mean that you can sell or use the images however you please.


Examples of my work:
I know these are rather limited at the moment but am working on getting lots of new pics

I'm sorry but This bloke is a COMPLETE fraud..!!!

He's Not a photographer,...he's a wannabe which is fine but a complete amateur and he should state that.! ...Look at his pics..!! which are all of the same friend..!!

Also..he states that he is a "professional" website designer and offers a professional service.......look at his so called professional sites that he has designed...they are all infact based on a very cheap & very simple basic off the shelf flash web templates that anyone can get free.! and take No design skills whatsoever to setup...!!

His very impressive posts are very misleading and I'm very concerned that new & established models are mislead into thinking they are getting a Professional service when infact they are Not...!!!

I'm sure he means well....but he is Not what he's portraying to be in ALL of his several posts..!!

Hi i said i am an Aspiring photography and while it is true that i currently have only done a shoot with a mate over the next month i have lots of different shoots booked. It all started when my friend wanted a site off me so i said okay you are going to need some pics i can take them for u. Afterwards i ask a few of the many models i have design sites for basically if she was any good and do they think see could make it, however most responces were just them prasising my photography so i decided tok take it up. I am looking to get experience in any feild I am not really fussed as u pointed out only have one person in there currently with two stlyes, so anything would be useful. This and cause i spent 8 months listernig to horror stories about photographers before i picked up a camera is why i offer what i offer. Mainlyi give you the copyright to 99% of the images and if this is for a set sumbission sucide girls, pay sites etc i am happy to sign over the copyright to all the images aslone as u will do a quick mini shoot so i can have a few images of u in my portfolio these can be fashion shoots for all i care, i am looking to get together a full portfolio and at this stage anything is good. My main intention with photography is to help people out ihave a good job and do not need to be doing this for money.

I am a proffesional web designer, it is my job and it is what i do. As for my sites the are not offically template based, i have built the structure from scratch, and do not use a template instead the source code of the closest site, i then us flash to edit it from the code up, i will then create a draft site, basically get all the info and pages and pics set up, get the colour scheme basically right etc. At this point I then contact the models and go hi here the draft of the site, what do you thik, everything from colours, pics, fonts, pages can be changed just ask, then i tend to suggest stuff, they fact of the matter is 99% of the time they jsut go wicked no i love it don't want to change anything, which is a real pain in the arse as the draft is the boring it but costumising it is the fun part, however it is the models site, if they don't want change after i have asked a few time so be it, they can have a simple site often this can look as nice is the background pic is reallly good. However a few people have asked for more like the newpage on RaniRhinestone look how the posters come up that is not out of a can, that was just a clever idea i had to keep it in the retro theme, Sara's site that has a completey different look to all the other sites. There are others but not worth going into. These sites are not amazing and yes they do not take much work to set up, but they are free, and if you want can be hosted for free, so I mean they are useful and attractive, what more do you want, i have over 100 models that are very happy with this service so u know can not be going to wrong, models are show a large list of examples when they enquire about a site (as lots of models do not want to be featured on the group page but are happy to be used as examples for other models BOTH ARE COMPLETELY OPTIONAL if you don't want me to show the site to anyone that is cool and there is option in my questionare for that)

I really think Fraud...!!!! is going a bit far, i don't know what it is about this but offering free stuff really seems to get some blokes really mad, seen it a load of time before, i do agree i think i have understated my experience leave on the photography but thought i had included it. The rest was just being rather rude.

Basically i am out to help people if you don't think i can help don't bother if you think i might i will give u all the info and chat to you untill you are happy , in which case I help you, or not, in which case we part ways. I do not pressure people or ask them to do something they would not want to do. I am just out to help out others i am sorry if that offends some people.
