I'd like to start collecting photos of my companions...both for myself and to share with this community, which has been very helpful to me.

Maybe I'm just a wimp, but even when I have my camera with me I never seem to be able to get up the nerve to ask a girl if I can take her photo.

How do you guys do it, and when? Is it part of the negotiations? Or do you just give it a try afterwards? I don't want to affect the session because she thinks I'm a stalker or something.

Any tips?

Pull out the camera and start taking pictures. Don't ask, just do.

I would ask in the interview. She is more likely to agree before you close the deal. After, and it is all up to her.

Compared to some of the shit these girls are asked to do, a few photos is nothing.

I just start taking pictures in the bar when we are all having fun so it doesn't surprise them back in the room when I whip out the camera

Ok, thanks for the tips. I'll try to man-up on my next trip and just go for it. Still, I have fears of some Mexico City pimp shaking me down for taking photos of his girl...So I guess some common sense is in order.
