Just want to put this out there and guage interest...

Post by Tbone » Tue Jan 02, 2018 11:30 pm

Hope this is ok to post here, and I know its a bit cheeky but....

As some of you may know I am a semi pro photographer...

A friend of mine has opened up a photostudio in Colchester area. in the photography community we do a fair few group shoots, and a particular favourite for spring and summer is 'cars and models'...

I have wanted to see if maybe I could fix up a Z4 themed shoot, Simon, my friend was all over it...
I thought I would pop this up here to see if anyone would be willing to loan their Z and a few hours of their time, in exchange for a really nice set of photos of your car, with or without models, or both... the choice would be yours...

the models are always totally respectful of peoples property, so you need not worry about damage, the models dont mount the bonnets etc... without permission first, also any kit would be kept at a safe distance also...

And.. you get to look at hot semi naked chicks all evening... thats a bonus...

This is the kind of thing we do...

Maybe the testosterone fuelled 20 year olds'll go for it but for those of us that've been around the block a few times it's all getting a bit jaded and corny now.

And the pic with the guns is just plain stooopid these days. :o

But if you've got a market, and can turn a living from it then go for it. (Just no guns, that's all).

I'd suggest, also shadowing bob's comment somewhat, that there are a fair few coffin-dodgers on this forum with health issues and dicky tickers! You might just push them over the edge with these sort of shennanigans! :lol:

Fred, might be an opportune moment to renew that pacemaker battery..., :poke: :rofl:

That first chickypop can climb all over my bonnet anytime and without permission afaic :thumbsup:

yeah I agree some of it is cheesy, but really its in the name of fun, and well... us and the models have a good time.

I know its not for everyone, and this isnt the sum of what we do, these shoots tend to be more for kicks than anything serious. Yes the guns thing... I agree, but you're not always in control of what the theme is..., that was shot about 5 years ago, when I was learning. Its not all glamour, sometimes we shoot fashion and other things with the cars as props, it really does depend on the location and the crowd that attend.

anyway the offer is there for anyone interested. Bring a camera along and maybe have a go yourself, if you're that way inclined or want to try something new or different.

Jesus Christ... You could offer free money on this forum and someone would moan its not free enough!

If your not interested don't feel compelled to reply!

OP, nice idea and thanks for introducing your idea to the Z4 community - if I was closer I'd be all over it!

I dont mind people voicing opinions, I always respect honesty, it was never really going to appeal to all on here.

my email address is [email protected], maybe a good idea to ping me an email, to those who are interested.
And shots with no models, that can be organised too. Another friend of mine owns a rig, which can be attached to a car so you can get moving shots as well. but thats more of a job in itself...

Ever wonder how its done? well this is how...

HAHA,. its not unknown for some of these ladies to pose butt naked. but I like to keep things tasteful so tend not to shoot at those ones.

As for you going nude? I would love to see the reaction to that lol.

well you're still welcome to come and watch, thats never an issue, have a few coffees, admire the chicks and the cars, these are after all social events. there will be plenty of like minded individuals to have a natter with about cars, photography and models, and just general geeking out.

Just thought putting this out there would hopefully inspire some more social activity in the group for those who are interested.

Is this for E89's only as you've put it in the E89 chat? I've got an E86 and would love to get involved!

By the way, the last time someone posted a new thread about gauging interest I ended up with a Z4M Roadster :)
