Request for help - Need photo of gun replicas for e-book

Trebor · Post by **Trebor** » Fri Oct 09, 2015 10:33 pm

I need some help guys and I'm hoping someone here can lend a hand.

I'm putting together an e-book of about a dozen of my web and magazine articles. My article on "The Guns of Indiana Jones" will be included. Unfortunately, while I own the text, I do NOT own the Copyright to the photos my editor selected. This means I need new photos.

My own Bapty replica won't be ready in time. (The gunsmith hasn't even said to send it yet)

Is anyone here willing to help me out by taking or finding photos of their replica gun builds?

Here's what I need:

1. Must be real guns only, no resin or other cast replica. (Except possibly the Webley)

2. I need at least one decent shot of a Webley WG with the correct bird's head grips. (I'll accept a shot of the replica offered by a member here if that's all I can get).

The Webley photo can either be a "catalog" type shot on a plain white background or a beauty shot on a table, wooden deck, etc. The gun should be alone.

3. I need at least one shot of either a S&W replica or a Webley with some other Indy props. Ideally it would include the gun on the jacket, with the fedora and whip (or holster). Something that screams "INDY!" (Either Bapty or Stembridge is fine)

4. JPEG or TIFF with a decent resolution and pixel count. (say 1,000 pixels on one side)

I just lost my regular writing gig (they closed) so I'm doing this to try to bring in some income on work I've already done while I look for more assignments. I'm essentially doing this on *zero* budget. A friend offered to do the cover and I'm learning how to do the formatting, etc, myself.

I can't offer to pay right now, so no hard feelings if no one is interested. If this is successful and brings in any noticeable income I'll try to make it up to you later, but no promises, as I don't know if it will sell or not. This is just one of several things I'm doing to try to make up for lost income.

If anyone wants to help PM me and I'll give you my e-mail to send photos.

Thanks

Rob
