  • Right watch people. Strange question- I’m a photographer and I’m looking for a few (3 minimum) watches to shoot for a personal project with a set designer on Wednesday this week. Something like this image. I have some, but thought the power of Lfgss could do better.

    Would anyone who London based consider loaning me 3-5 watches for the day on wed, they would have to be in vgc and more new/luxury than vintage (need to look new). I can give you the images and you’re more than welcome to come on the shoot.

    My website is colinrossphoto.com if you want to check out my work.

  • Good luck with the project. It's a tough ask as most people are pretty precious about their watches. I wouldn't lend my collection out for less than 3% of its value + a contract backed by your insurance company. Others may have differing opinions.

  • An old acquaintance once loaned his pristine Leica M4 + lenses to a colleague. Said colleague borrowed it to his son, who then wanted it to look more beat up, proceeded to take sandpaper to it.

    There was a very uncomfortable conversation.

  • Thanks, I fully understand people’s apprehension. I work in a world where pr companies will send out products to be photographed but I guess it’s very different when it comes to personal property. That said, my reputation would be shot if something happened to the products.
