Over Used Poses/Props
Im sure there is/has been a thread on this already, if so feel free to re-direct me... What are some of the most over used/over rated poses and props out there, in your opinion? Jan 02 07 03:28 pm Link Caution Tape. Jan 02 07 03:32 pm Link Guitars or angel wings Jan 02 07 03:33 pm Link not shooting something because it it 'cliche' is bs, when you were in school did you refuse to do your homework because someone else did the same problem a year before you? cliches are great, you do the same shot as someone else, see what the difference is, figure out why your shot is different, and learn Jan 02 07 03:35 pm Link fur hood and belt around the breasts Jan 02 07 03:39 pm Link Girl in bikini on the beach. But otherwise, if you like it, who cares? Shoot it. Jan 02 07 03:42 pm Link stevemartinphoto wrote: I agree with this...if you like it, shoot it. On the other hand, a model working on a professional level might want some creative and unique material in their port. Having a good port is about being noticed, and being noticed is about doing work that pulls the viewer in. Jan 02 07 03:54 pm Link wolff wrote: You can never have too many guitars.

Jan 02 07 09:59 pm Link Lots of shots are "overused".... but as others have said, "if you like it... shoot it" But, make it your own and bring your style into it whether you be a model or photographer. Own the shot. The problem arises when you put lots of models and photographers together in one spot and think that every single shot will be different than the other.

And of all the train track shots, I think mine is the best one!  Jan 03 07 07:39 am Link I'm tired of the "implied" topless with hands or arms coincidently covering, holding the models breasts. Very Overused. Be creative people! Jan 03 07 07:41 am Link Imperious Images wrote: Don't bother looking at my port... Jan 03 07 07:43 am Link Monica Jay wrote: Wow, you did your research! Impressive.
