Maybe An Opportunity For An Amateur Photographer?

Hi guys,
I don't know if this would be deemed as 'cheeky' or damn right rude but i wondered if anyone would like to come and take some landscape pics for me?
I am an ex-photography hobbyist which is why I know about this forum and know there are some excellent amateurs that would possibly want to add some photos to their portfolio. I would like you to take pictures of a very good looking golf course and i could arrange for your own transport around the course using a buggy to find which ever shots you would like to take.
These pictures would be used on our website with, of course, full credit to you and maybe a link to your website? I could also arrange a day of golf for you and 3 friends with breakfast and a meal afterwards should you wish.
Again, i know this sounds cheeky but i think this could possibly work both ways?
The golf club is in Stoke on Trent.
Regards
FP
 
depending on who see's this you're either going to get your hand snatched off for the offer, or a complete **** storm about wanting photo's for a professional reason and not paying.

If I had the slightest interest in golf I'd of said ok, but unless it's a paying job it's pointless for me. All the best though, but be prepared for some negativity. :)

To be honest, that sounds like a great offer for someone who actually likes playing golf, or who has friends that do. Hope you find someone suitable mate! I'm rubbish at landscape so no point in me having a dabble lol.
 
No worries mate. I'd hope it would be a nice day out for someone. The golf alone for 4 people is worth £140 per round. You could get 36 holes in easy over a day in the summer. Plus food included. I'm just putting the feelers out there and don't want to insult anyone by not offering money as such.
 
Trentham Park Golf Club mate. Our website is totally lacking good quality images. I redid the website last year and basically dragged it from an early mid 90s site to a reasonably up to date wordpress site. I'm not happy with it so have recommended they have the site professionally done. But with that we need some damn good images. Which is why i'm posting here.
 
I would love to do this for you!

But i see it's all the way up near Derby i believe, im based in London.

If you could maybe pay travel expenses, then i'd consider it.

EDIT:

I also do videos as well, so maybe that's something that we could do also?

Make a little promo video, so you can have it on your site as well perhaps?

I would have thought a Golf Club would have the budget to hire a professional photographer, as ultimately images of the club and its facilities are an important part of its marketing, so certainly not something you would scrimp on from a business point of view.

I completely agree with you Nexus. However try explaining, and justifying the cost to a committee of geriatrics who are stuck in the 70s :P

Can't see that they take their business very seriously then if they can't employ a local professional photographer to take the photos they need.

It's not a case of just doing somebody a favour, this is a business that wants photographs to use to make them money.
