Offering photography services

[alexthecheese]

Just wondering about this really. Has anyone ever tried offering their photography services to companies - bars, offices, shops etc. - for free as an offering to sell your services?

Like, go to the pub, say if I can take some photos and show what I can offer you, would you be interested in perhaps buying some prints afterwards?

Not in a position to do it - grossly underexperienced - but do you think it'd fly?

Not for free, not the idea of actually giving them anything for free, but take some photos, show them what you can offer, then charging them.

Just an idea, not really considering doing anything other than taking photos of my dog and random other things for a while.

Yeah, fair point. Just batting out an idea, so thanks for replying.

Randomly - just been reading about your D3 - was that really Nikon's first full-frame DSLR? Back in 2008 - just 4 years ago?

What are microstock sites and how do you get your images on them to be sold? Intrigued.

Last time I used a disposable camera my mate got arrested when he went to collect the photos. We were in Amsterdam taking photos of their weed growing setups out the back of the coffee shops and one of the employees at Boots reported the photos to the police.
