ten things for free in 2011
19.Nov.2010 in in·spi·ra·tion permalink 6 CommentsUpdate: As of 11 Dec. the remaining offers have been closed because there is very little time left of 2011 to plan and execute these photo shoots. Still, if you’re interested in any of them – contact me and I’ll see what I can do for you.
WHAT: free photographer, photos for free, me work you enjoy… Call it as you wish – I’ll shoot for 10 of you absolutely for free throughout 2011. Two business promos/ads, two weddings, three family portraits, one personal portrait, two sport events. We’re talking “photo shoot”, not just a single photograph. You only get full res digital copies of the photographs (sorry, no prints).

WHERE: -undefined- (see info below)
WHY: because I enjoy doing things for free, because you like getting things for free, for inspiration’s sake
DETAILS: well, read on
HOW DO I GET IT: post your request in the comments area below
QUALITY: free doesn’t mean cheap, not in my world. I take any task as if I’m getting paid for it and always strive to provide the highest quality possible. To get an idea of my style and overall look, hit the commercial, wedding, portrait links from the top and you’ll see my work.
Disclaimer: while I am very flexible with the specifics of your needs and photography in general, there are a few things I don’t and won’t shoot – nudity of any type, obscene concepts, anti-Christian themes, and stuff that is close to these.
you can only get 1 item from the list
whoever first claims an item through the comments gets it*
The current status of things (ie. what’s still available):
- 2 weddings 1 wedding (one taken, definite)
- 2 business promos/ads with unlimited usage rights, I only retain the copyright of my work
- 3 family portraits 2 family portraits 1 family portrait (two taken, definite)
- 1 personal portrait (taken, definite)
- 2 sport events
The small print. As much as I would like to, I won’t quite be able to fly/drive any place at any time for the free shoot. Once you request an item I will contact you by email as soon as possible and we’ll figure out what’s the best option to make things happen. It may be that you’ll have to cover my transportation and accommodation… I’ll give my best to give you from my time and skills with the least effort on your behalf.
* If you were the first to claim an item, it goes off the list and is yours unless, of course, during our email communication it becomes clear that it won’t work out. In such cases, the person after you will get it. Items which are marked as taken, pending confirmation can still be called because you might end up being the person after.
To provide you with the transparency you want, the comments area below will only be moderated to remove spam/junk. Any questions, details I’ve not paid enough attention to clarifying, etc. are to be discussed in the comments.
Let’s have a good 2011!
