80 points by genbit ↗ HN
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.

Usually it is the landing page photo that picks me. Do you have any samples?
genbit
I have few photos on 500px.com/genbit

My colleague and I would love a shot of University Ave!
genbit
Great, Day or Night? University Ave Palo Alto, I assume? Anything specific?

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.
genbit
This is interesting project. I actually may need pictures like these too ) need to check local tennis courts, arenas.

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)

Thanks! Edit: Feel free to email me about it.

genbit
what email address?
striking
It's in my bio: robert.stolarz{at}yandex.com

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.

Pictures of the ocean, the bay, or from some hiking trails all might be great for a landing page.
genbit

How about a photo of a man doing a handstand right next to a pickle that is on the ground.
genbit
nice idea. If not a joke, I will try it. +1 to notduncansmith :) what do you sell?

I would really like to see this photo re-made with higher resolution:

http://www.officialpsds.com/images/thumbs/Paint-Brush-psd503...

It looks like plasti-dip on a brand new paintbrush, and I really like the way it's cropped.

I can't seem to figure out if this image is for sale, or how to buy it.

Can you make a photo of a biotech lab (or similar)?
genbit
This is interesting, i know one lab close to me, will ask them, if they agree.
davisr
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.

Anything with an (preferably) outdoor pool with sunlight with swimmers in it, or better yet a water polo match of some sort.

EDIT: Removed the 'synchronized' bit. Can be indoors if necessary, given the current time of year and climate.

genbit
so, some sport in the pool? or any activity?
selimthegrim
Any sport would be fine. Specifically this is for a water polo and swim team booster site.

EDIT: Added my email in my about. Thanks again!

I would love a clean laptop-at-the-coffee shop picture.

Could you do one in a doctor's office (preferably with a 'doctor') with a piece of medical equipment in the background?
genbit
I probably need to make an appointment :)

Landing page for a photosharing app
genbit
what kind of people will this landing page target? pro photographers, students, teenagers?
grahamburger
I could use some photos off offroad vehicles (jeeps, trucks, SUVs) on the trail. E-mail in profile.

email is not visible to non-admins unless you put it in "about"

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.

I don't need a photo, but it would be awesome if you posted these on Flickr with a Creative Commons license!

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.
genbit
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.
siquick
Hey Sergey,

Would love a high resolution photo of the inside of a record store.

genbit

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.

TIA.

Geee
Are you banking on Ebola getting widespread?

I need something related to gift. More specific someting you want to receive as gift, u know?
genbit
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?

thalesfc
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.

CMCDragonkai
A photo of some sort of abstract looking network graph.
cooper12
That sounds as if it would be better suited for a graphic, or at least an overlay of a graphic.
tekknolagi
I'd love one! I'll email you as well.
