Contacting photographers

December 11th, 2012
Hi

There are some amazing photos on here and I'd love to contact some of the photographers to ask if they would allow us to use one of their pictures in a project we are doing at the moment. Can you give me some guidance on what is the best way to contact people? I can't see a way to mail people through here - is that an option with the Ace membership?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Martin,

The best way to contact someone would be to leave a comment on one of their photos - that way they will get the notification and be able to read it.

If you want to limit the audience of people who read the message, head onto the person's 365 calendar (the little grid icon above their photo) and go back a month or two to an older photo and leave a comment there.

As far as I know, there isn't a way to privately contact someone via the website at the moment.

Some photogs have an email address on their profile information. Maybe some of the ones you want to contact have done that.

No it doesn't make any difference if you're an ace member....the only way to contact is by commenting on photos or looking at the persons profile (not sure if you can do that without ace though?) for an email address or website link :)

What kind of project? Since you don't have any photos or a bio up, we have no idea who you are.

@5unflow3r I agree with Trina maybe if we know a little about you we would be a little more trusting....

information on the project itself would immensely helpful in getting what you are looking for.

Hey Martin. A few of us have gotten your posts. Can you explain a little more about the project, possibly leave you email so we may contact you?

Hi everyone, thanks for your replies. I have tried to connect with a few people directly, so will wait to see if it has worked.

I'm very happy to give a bit more information on the project we are undertaking. Basically, we are developing a set of cards which we will be used in coaching and training, focused on helping people to be more effective and happy in their work. On the reverse of each card we would like to include a photo, which means we will need around 40 pictures in total. We would like to include a real range of pictures, with different subject matter, colour, texture, cultures etc and would love to have a collection of pictures that looks really impressive together.

This site was recommended to me by someone who knows what we are trying to do, and I have seen some great pictures on here. I would love to be able to include some of the popular images from here, so if you have one (or more) and would like to get in touch then we'd be ever so grateful. You can contact me for more detail on martingalpin@workpositive.com.

Thanks to everyone for sharing some great work on here, it's a great project!
