I thought I'd risk asking a question only peripherally related to Leicas. I want to have a family portrait made of my family. I have the misfortune of being very picky about photography, so I've been unable to bring myself to do the sort of "factory portraits" of the variety typefied by Olan Mills. I am also not wealthy, so I don't want to spend many thousands of dollars. 25 years ago I used to make money on the side by doing portrait photography. My customers were folks very much like what I am now. I'd love to find some photographer to do this. I can't take my own portrait (I've tried; it doesn't work, even with a radio trigger). My question is: how do I look for a portrait photographer who could do this? When I use yellow pages and web searches, all I find are the national chains. Is there some forum, some directory, some meeting ground where independent portrait photographers announce their existence and look for work?
