Feedback from our members...
As a professional photographer Of over 40 years I work mainly by recommendation. That said AF has proved to be a good site for generating new commissions and all of the people we have worked with have been friendly, professional and fun to work with.
AF is a great place to meet people who enjoy photography the same way I do. Had a lot of nice interactions with other members, either photographers of models, and even a few shoots that without being on AF would not have happened.
