Hi,
I'm a freelance reporter from Italy: I'm very interested in body inflation, both for the aesthetics of blown-up suits and for the motivations of people who inflate.
I'd like to make a reportage on it, and I'm looking for people who'd share their body inflation experience (and agree to be photographed while inflating). I hope I can find somebody here!
My pvt contact is: thomaspololi@hotmail.it
Thank you.
Thomas
Not this again...
Up side: I suddenly wouldn't mind seeing a story where a reporter inflates on camera :D
The guy's just making a request. If you don't want to participate, feel free to ignore it. But I shall seriously frown upon any rudeness.
Hmmm..... Yeah nah...
Ps. Sorry, I forgot to specify that I'm particularly interested in latex suits inflation, and that I could reach other countries in Europe for the reportage.
Thanks again.

I'd be willing to do a q&a via pm on here, or e-mail if I can remain anonymous, and no photos either.
Background, I ran an online store a year or so ago selling these suits, and own some myself.
Thanks RubberKat, but I prefer face-to-face interviews...
OK, sorry then, I just like to remain anonymous.
Ok now I'm going to probably call out a trap here lol. I'm going to be as respectful as possible, beggars can't be choosers. This whole idea of face to face interaction honestly kinda worries me. As much as we all would love to say "Hey! Meet me here, I like inflation, you like inflation, let's just get together!" and have just one giant group interaction, it's too dangerous for something like that. I hope this doesn't offend, just expressing an opinion.
Sorry, it's not a trap, it's just a reportage. Also for me it would be much better to join something like a "body inflation meeting" with a press pass, but i didn't find anything like that, so I joined this forum. I just would like to speak and make photos, that's it. If somebody can suggest me any safer and easier way to come in contact with people who practice body inflation, I'd be grateful. :)
My advice is don't expect a face to face interview haha do a Q & A over some kind of private chat, if they do vids, that's a bonus for you. If they do pics, don't be surprised if it's below the neck.
im in america.. no dice?
Sounds like this is for a newspaper of magazine (since you say photographs and not video). Can you tell us where it's going to be published? Do you have links to other stories you have written?
That's right. I'm a freelance and I'm going to propose the reportage to Rolling Stone (Italy), whom I already worked with. I can link the two latest reportages I realized (as photographer) on "Il Post", an online newspaper (the others are just on paper):

And another one I written, on modern goldkeepers:
