Hello,

In one of my other guises I am a photographer and like taking photos of
people in particular. I had recently been recruiting volunteers for a set
of shots based on physique and skill in conjunction with acrobats, dancers
and the like. Numerous difficulties set in, and most of the willing
participants were overseas, and I got thinking about the theme more
broadly....

I would like to hear from anyone who has an "interesting" body who
wouldn't mind being photographed and possibly published. What's
"interesting"? Anything that isn't the usual norm. Has anyone ever
commented on some aspect of your body that's unusual? Do you have
interesting scars? Do you have a particularly ornate tattoo? And of
course, the reason i'm posting this in here - Can you do something unusual
with your body? eg acrobatics, contortion, sword swallowing, "freak show"
tricks, head balances, fire breathing etc etc

By its very nature you'll have to actually be happy to show off your body!
For guys this would mean a minimum of being happy to pose with no top on,
and for girls with a vest/crop top. I would be super happy if there are
some volunteers to do art nude shots, but this is *not* a mandatory
requirement.

I'm based in central scotland and I can arrange to transport people up
here, although obviously I will give preference to more local people first
as they cost me less on train tickets. You will get a full set of images
from the shoot to do with as you please (printable up to A3 usually), and
as an extra incentive I am happy to shoot promo material for performers at
the same time by way of thanks[1]. I am looking into the possibility of
hiring a studio in Bristol around the same time as the convention also,
and I have portable studio kit that can also be used.

If any of this sounds appealing to you drop me a line using the email
address attached to this message, removing the .nospam.com from the end.
**Please include a snapshot of yourself[2]** and also tell me why you are
"interesting".

Thanks for listening,

Az

[1]Before anyone jumps on me, I do photography as non-profit and only sell
prints for charities and am not secretly working for some super publishing
house out to steal publicity shots from unsuspecting performers. I
probably have spent at least 3 times more *on* photography than I have
ever earned *from* photography. If by some fantastic miracle anyone ever
approached me to buy the rights to a shot it would be discussed first with
the individual (as detailed in the release forms that I use) before any
transaction goes ahead and I would make sure that at least the going rate
at the time for models was passed on.

[2]anyone sending me photos of their genitalia will be named on here and
the photo posted for all the world to point and laugh at. You have been
warned.


I would be intrested to see if my fizzog/mush/bonce/napper came up in a
pleasant or horrible sight.... your guess is as good as mine! (maybe the
"angle" is the key")

I was serious about this......... I am able to look more Devilish than
any mosher/Goth/nu-metal head.... I'll let your man decide how much
nudeness is acceptable (you are tying the knot, after all)
