Ok so your single, a male and you have avoided the camera whenever possible. Tried taking a few photos with the web cam. If they didn't immediately get me listed on the FBI's top 10 list then they had to have been close. Now understand why passport and drivers license photos look so suspicious.

So what do you do? Quick search for a photographer web-site was hopeless. Nope noit getting married and don't have a family. Where is the link that says take a decent photo so women will take a second look (no this isn't a desperation plea just thinking practically). Or do you talk to a friend and say I need you to take a few photos for this dating site thing.... Why do I suspect that women would find that so much easier.

? Confused

Haha...

I only have one decent picture out of say....50-100. And then the one that is decent I decide I don't like.

Getting decent pictures isn't easy for anybody.

I pretty much take my digital camera with me every where I go. I take pictures, of my friends, and get them to take one of me or whatever. No suspisions, then!

Sorry I haven't heard of Venture. Are they a chain of photographers? Coming from Australian background I still don't know all of the UK retail chains.

Unfortunately I had to leave the Tiger where I found him, so will have to do a session on my own. Suspect that this will be a scary experience.

Flowerangel I doubt you have any problems with bad photos. Smile

We could always put it to a poll. I suspect I would be lucky to get anything better than odds on. And favourites usually pay out so poorly. Razz

That is not to knock your very good advice. I attend far too many client functions. Have to ensure photos are taken earlier in the evening.

I do have some photos taken in Cologne this year. But since I in costume as an Australian (Convict costume, Akubra hat and Koala around my neck), I thought it would not help me here to gain credibility. Smile

Maybe I should borrow your friends. In the last few years I have taken up the challenge of attending dentists in Thailand and Germany. Maybe I should now try a photographer in Holland. Since one of my dentist sessions started as "I can only take 1 to 1.5 hours in the chair" and that became a 3 hour session. I wonder what interpretation problems could do to a photo session?

Thanks I have located a Venture site that is close by. Just sent them an email asking what to bring to a session. Thought a Tux may be over the top for a first impression?

Damn your holding back on us again. Loan out 3 friends so that you can keep that other County to yourself.

However being a perfect gentleman I will greet them at the door with a glass of vintage bubbly. Before begging a photo that makes me look ??? (Hurried photo to T Blair to see if he has a spare image consultant.)

I beg to disagree. Some of us just like to go for quality in who we spend time with. I think there has to be a tiny bit of people person in you to be here.
