Hello,
We are a well-established commercial landscape developer with projects throughout the Bay Area looking for some high-res action shots of our crew members hard at work along with some shots of the projects themselves. This is an ideal opportunity for a student or even an aspiring amateur to get some experience, add to your portfolio, make some contacts at the largest contractor of our kind in the industry, + More.
We currently have a project in Menlo Park that would be a great place to start, get a sample of your work, and evaluate the possiblity having more work for you with some potential compensation.
My response:
Hi,
I am offering landscape contractors like yourself the opportunity to gain valuable experience
along with fantastic promotional visibility.
While I am unable to offer any pay at this time, once my neighbors see my yard transformed from the current unsightly dead grass into a thing of beauty your phone
will be ringing off the hook!!
Looking forward to promoting your services through my new front yard!!
Thanks!!

Welcome to Digital Grin.
Folks like this want to get free stuff................. but just ask them for free stuff!

This is the second post I read after deciding to consider again using my camera to put food on the table... so very timely.
Reminds me of the time a couple of friends of friends offered me the chance to shoot themselves, their child and their dog in 'various locations and some nice studio shots'.
"It would look great in your portfolio and we'll treat you to a curry for your trouble", they went on to say.
I politley declined. Although I regret not getting a shot of their beautiful dog, I am otherwise emotionally intact.

Everyone and their dog it seems have DSLRs nowadays and think they could at the drop of the hat quit their day job and become professional photographers!
