Photography is my hobby and I need to practice. Anyone need a photo for landing page or for anything else?
You can post you request here or send me email at sergey at genbit.ru
I'll try my best to take photo you need, for free.
What are the terms and conditions you are providing these 'free' photos under please? You should consider it unlikely that a serious startup would use your photos based on 'genbit on HN said they were free - seems legit'.
Also, have you considered submitting images to sites like unsplash.com or skitterphoto.com, which basically offer the same thing but with a CC0 license?
And if it is just feedback you need there are plenty of photo communities online like Flickr where you can post images and solicit critical feedback.
It is a nice offer you make but posting something like this to HN is really limiting and cannot last long. I think you are better off looking elsewhere, so give it a try and good luck.
This guy is offering to take photos because he likes taking photos and figures people might want one. I really don't see why you have to be such a negative nancy about this.
He's offering photos which he presumably retains copyright for, to people wanting them for business use and not a personal collection or their kid's lemonade stand.
I raised a legitimate issue, offered realistic and superior alternatives, and wished OP good luck.
If this offended your sensibilities or came across as negative to you, I think you should re-read my comment and reconsider. Maybe we'll just agree to disagree.
idea is to try to make photo by request, which I see as a nice exercise, otherwise I can
About legal issues, I don't see problems there actually. Except model releases, if people are on the photo. But this is concerns to discuss over email.
> really limiting and cannot last long
thats an idea, I'm not going to make money with it and it's just an exercise and hobby.
I'm working on a modern divorce site that helps couples work together with professionals to quickly and safely reach an equitable resolution for this incredibly difficult event. There are lots of creative symbols in marriage and divorce that could make for an interesting photography project.
hi, need to think, I have some experience in this topic, but don't honestly don't have any ideas of photo that can work for you website. Feel free o propose something.
I don't know if this will really improve your photography practice, but it would be great if you could give it a try anyway!
I'm looking for (blurred) background photos onto which we can put iPhones for our editor. To give you an idea, please see the second and fourth example on our landing page at http://www.screenscott.com (please hover).
I'm most interested in a picture of an US Downtown (such as SF), looking from a sidewalk down a street. I've taken similar pics when I was in the US, but a) I was pointing the camera up, but to look realistically, the horizon needs to be in the upper half of the picture and b) if blurred with the camera lens, the pic looks much better.
It would be awesome if you could help us out :) Thanks!
Thx for the offer! I could really use some nature pictures to make my book site more colorful: http://minireference.com/
I've been looking for mountains (e.g. two mountain peaks that represent math and physics) that could be used. The book is your guide to the mountains of math and physics.
Alternately, just some nice picture of fall colors. Спосиба.
How about various angles views of a tennis court that is no longer in much use as originally intended? Maybe no nets or deteriorating nets, lines barely there, the play of life on the court. Could include people using the court in unusual or usual ways. Or taking off from this and using your own ideas of seeing an athletic arena/field in different ways.
Don't offer your work for free. It devalues you and all other photographers. There's no "practice" you get from doing work for free for someone else that you couldn't get by doing work for yourself, and then offering up for sale.
Charging for anything requires extra work. If the OP is an employee doing another sort of work, the extra work involved in charging could be enough to complete overwhelm any benefit from charging, unless the OP somehow won the lottery and made huge bucks (unlikely in the extreme).
Even if the OP is already working as an independent business owner, using their existing "charge people" infrastructure and tools for a non-core hobby could be somewhere be difficult and infeasible.
There are things that we do because we enjoy them, not because we have any vanity hope of ever making money from them. Getting our work in front of others allows for broader criticism, which can make us better; for attribution, which can lift our spirits (I did that); and for recognition, which can, sometimes, for some, make us money.
Let's stop this "never do anything for free" fetishism, shall we? As important as money is, it ain't everything.
Agreed, I have full time job, side projects. And photography is more like a hobby.
I got more positive from this topic on HN, than I could ever get from selling these photos.
I'd like a picture that evokes "party" or "meaningful place", and it would be nice if I could constrain it to a portrait view (like the iPhone held vertically)
Just in case you didn't know, your email is not in your bio. The "email" field is not public, so if you want your email to be displayed you have to put it in the "about" field.
A friend and I are developing a funny word game for mobile devices meant for social situations. We're always looking for new photos of people having memorable conversations while playing our game.
How about: A night-time city scape. Usually a lot of photos of cities are done across from a body of water, and at day. I haven't been able to find good quality ones done during the night.
I need a good shot with a laptop screen in the main focus taking up the majority of the shot to animate with a demo, but with an interesting and clean background.

Could you please take a photo of a desk cluttered with homework and notes for me? It would appear on the landing page for a notes service I'm working on.
If do something specific, different people want different gifts: games (board), jewelry, different staff. I for example, want hammock, :) Do you have something specific in mind?
If do abstract - maybe a gift box with lights out of it?
No, I was thinking more abstract. Like a picture which holds the joy of openning a nice gif. Like the walk of anyone when receiving the first car of his/her life.
I know my request is completly open and unespecified, but I want to see ur art.
Hey I am making a web site where you can meet up with other people who have ebola. It's like a cross between Match.com and Meetup, but for people who actively have ebola.
A good cover image could be key. Maybe a picture of an ebola or some kid playing with an ebola stuffed animal. Something that promotes togetherness.
