Alright so I have been arguing with this chick about how she charges way to much for her "professional" photography. Although im sure most of my arguement is fueled by jealousy that she is successful with half ass studio portraits, my side of the arguement is that all of her portraits are nothing more then some photoshop tutorials and a little bit of direction light, eureka! "Professional" photos.

Anyways here are some of her photos. I will admit all the makeup she does is fucking badass. but here studio portraits, and over photoshopped image's aren't cutting it for me.

What about NS????

This makes me really sad. I see this a lot. It is really unfortunate that people think reading 1 book or taking a highschool photo class can turn them into a photographer.

Then they do a few photoshop tutorials and it is no longer photography, it is really shitty graphic deign. Just because you own a canon rebel and a hacked version of photoshop, doesn't mean you have any right to claim yourself as a professional. Just because you get paid does not make you a professional.

A professional is someone who's body of work is comparable to their peers, and has a business license or works for an agency that does.

Find the best nearby photographer and tell them your town is severely lacking and that they should advertise in your paper.

Then tell her to keep learning and quit charging. No one should pay for those photos.

i think that these are pretty cool, but not up to "professional" standards.

maybe she would have a future in graphic designs?

bingo!

somebody who understands the business side..woooooo


Bitching/whining/telling her to quit charging is retarded and childish. Its a free market.



Go out, produce a better product, and take her clients & their money. Hating is some high school drama bullshit.

I don't think its exactly fake, everything just looks sort of misplaced, like the guy got 2 feet of air rather than what is being portrayed in the picture

just like to point out that you are feeding her website awesome free traffic(think the trackers know if you hate or love the photos?)...this increases her SEO results(where your site shows up on search sites rankings, such as google, yahoo etc)

Indirectly,through your bitching/whining/hating, you are promoting/driving more traffic to her photography.

Funny. you can sit back, bitch about all the technical details, "I can't believe she charges"blah blah blah.

In the end, you(in a small way) fucked over REAL photographers in your area, by giving that bitch increase traffic(over 900 thread views when this was posted).

he didnt help her out. yes the interwebz will detect more trafic but that trafic is all bad trafic and buyers, as oposed to interwebz, can detect good trafic from bad trafic. no one is going to buy her photos.

Its easy to say why its bad, just look at them!

stop going against the grain to be cool and different
