- primitivesuave 12y agoUsually it is the landing page photo that picks me. Do you have any samples?
- genbit 12y agoI have few photos on 500px.com/genbit
- acpk 12y agoMy colleague and I would love a shot of University Ave!
- genbit 12y agoGreat, Day or Night? University Ave Palo Alto, I assume? Anything specific?
- ricknew 12y agoHow 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.
- striking 12y agoI'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.
- ChrisAntaki 12y agoPictures of the ocean, the bay, or from some hiking trails all might be great for a landing page.
- genbit 12y agoI have few of them already on a storage, can u shoot me email, I'll give you dropbox link when I upload.

- soundoflight 12y agoHow about a photo of a man doing a handstand right next to a pickle that is on the ground.
- notduncansmith 12y agoWhat the hell are you selling?
- genbit 12y agonice idea. If not a joke, I will try it. +1 to notduncansmith :) what do you sell?
- zachrose 12y agoI would really like to see this photo re-made with higher resolution: http://www.officialpsds.com/images/thumbs/Paint-Brush-psd50308.png 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.

- genbit 12y agothanks :)
- notlisted 12y agoZach, a good tool to find this out is TinEye.com or Google image search. There are chrome extensions for both. Right-click and bob's your uncle. http://www.tineye.com/search/26a3a3a131eab293e69887cc889bf38b8a117535/?pluginver=chrome-1.1.4 http://www.tineye.com/search/26a3a3a131eab293e69887cc889bf38...
- sbassi 12y agoCan you make a photo of a biotech lab (or similar)?
- genbit 12y agoThis is interesting, i know one lab close to me, will ask them, if they agree.
- davisr 12y agoCould 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.
- selimthegrim 12y agoAnything 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 12y agoso, some sport in the pool? or any activity?
- selimthegrim 12y agoAny 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!
- variables 12y agoI would love a clean laptop-at-the-coffee shop picture.
- genbit 12y agook, will try
- juliamarie 12y agoCould you do one in a doctor's office (preferably with a 'doctor') with a piece of medical equipment in the background?
- genbit 12y agoI probably need to make an appointment :)
- swiftydev 12y agoLanding page for a photosharing app
- grahamburger 12y agoI could use some photos off offroad vehicles (jeeps, trucks, SUVs) on the trail. E-mail in profile.
- spoon16 12y agoemail is not visible to non-admins unless you put it in "about"
- grahamburger 12y agoOops! Fixed. Thanks
- triggerworlds 12y agoI 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.

- jedberg 12y agoI don't need a photo, but it would be awesome if you posted these on Flickr with a Creative Commons license!
- siquick 12y ago^^this^^
- genbit 12y agogood idea
- __DarkBlue 12y agoGreat idea.
- mamoriamohit 12y agoYes, this.
- baconface 12y agoI'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 12y agohi, 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 12y agoHey Sergey, Would love a high resolution photo of the inside of a record store.
- genbit 12y agocool, I can try. Don't have your email, so I will have to post photo here.
- Throwaway1224 12y agoHey 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.
- frozenport 12y agoHere are a few: http://dailysurge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/EbolaToy.jpg http://dailysurge.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/EbolaToy.jp... https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4022/4677635235_a54880f12a_z.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4022/4677635235_a54880f12a_z.j...

- thalesfc 12y agoI need something related to gift. More specific someting you want to receive as gift, u know?
- genbit 12y agoIf 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 12y agoNo, 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 12y agoA photo of some sort of abstract looking network graph.
- cooper12 12y agoThat sounds as if it would be better suited for a graphic, or at least an overlay of a graphic.
- tekknolagi 12y agoI'd love one! I'll email you as well.
- CookWithMe 12y agoI 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 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!
- zo1 12y agoHow 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.
- genbit 12y agosomething like this? https://www.dropbox.com/s/10urfqlu8lv63yr/IMG_6925.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/10urfqlu8lv63yr/IMG_6925.jpg?dl=0
- jbverschoor 12y agoA photo of a woman using a computer. A photo of 2 guys talking at a table (office or lunchroom)
- janpieterz 12y agoThat's an awesome idea! If you'd like to contribute like that, sites like https://unsplash.com/ https://unsplash.com/ offer ways to send your own pictures to them.
- genbit 12y agothanks, the idea to make photo by request. But would definitely post some of these photos that will not be used to unsplash.
- tombrossman 12y agoWhat 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.
- thisjepisje 12y agoThis 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.
- tombrossman 12y agoHe'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.
- genbit 12y agoidea 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.
- NateDad 12y agoDon'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. http://shouldiworkforfree.com/ http://shouldiworkforfree.com/
- PeterWhittaker 12y agoNot this. Like the OP wrote, photography is a hobby. 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.
- genbit 12y agoAgreed, 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.
- psykovsky 12y agoIf you can shoot something that can be used on a record label website, music/studio related I would use it on the record label website I'm rebuilding.
- ivan_ah 12y agoThx for the offer! I could really use some nature pictures to make my book site more colorful: http://minireference.com/ 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.
- genbit 12y agosent you email
- jsin4050 12y agoA 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.
