Okay here goes: 30% - Travel & Editorial Pictures (Paid and Unpaid) 40% - Boring People Pictures (Mostly Paid) 10% - Event Pictures (Paid and Non-Profit Charities) 10% - Landscape (Unpaid) 5% - Pictures of Bugs (Unpaid) 5% - Pictures of Hunks & Babes (Paid and Mostly Unpaid) Jan 08 07 08:27 pm Link "X" subject = "X" photo Jan 08 07 08:50 pm Link i like travel photography and high fashion photography. when i travel, i tend to shoot photojournalistic style so it doesn't matter whom i shoot. when i want to do a high fashion shoot, i want the model to look like a high fashion model. (this explains why i don't have too many fashion photos).

Stop by a Barnes and Noble and look through Haskins book, better yet buy a copy, and see what an imaginative photographic artist did with a model, camera, film, light and a darkroom. Jan 08 07 10:14 pm Link I enjoy taking or better creating photos with pretty models but I also enjoy photographing nature and just about anything else that catches my eye.

Money is definately why I work with clients. The stuff I shoot for myself as my art IS for myself. If there is a pretty girl involved, that's just kind of an added bonus. Most of it is Landscape/still life. Jan 08 07 10:26 pm Link W.G. Rowland wrote: â¦Maybe a substantial amount but not me. Jan 08 07 11:54 pm Link If I am shooting females outside of some artistic theme I am working on, that is my goal. Jan 09 07 12:04 am Link I like taking photos and making videos of pretty women. Pretty women are wonderful and lovely to look at. If I had my choice of photographing a penguin, an ocean sunset, a mountain stream, Niagra Falls, the Grand Canyon, the Pyramids, a snowflake, a red rose, a cheetah running, a robin giving birth, a solar eclipse, Mel Gibson having a tirade, astronauts in space, Eskimos making an igloo, a killer whale jumping to eat an oreo, the Dalai Lama, the smile of an innocent child, a grizzly bear, the Great Wall of China, or a gorgeous woman, I would pick the gorgeous woman every time. My goal is to take as many photos of beautiful women as is humanly possible before I die. If this makes me wrong, well...I don't want to be right. Jan 09 07 12:25 am Link I shoot for revenge. Jan 09 07 01:26 am Link Mark Sebastian wrote: I like that!! ... Jan 09 07 01:36 am Link obviously thats why i shoot, to meet the babes, why else? My secret formula for turning on the models, wear a beret, bring a bottle of wine, a camera and a fan, then say suave things like "purr for daddy" "show me the love" and "can i rub this against you".

Jan 09 07 02:22 am Link A pretty girl, like a pretty valley or a pretty flower, can tell a story. A lonely man, like a windswept desert, or a ice-encrusted twig, can tell a story. I want to tell stories that I see with my eyes. Sometimes those stories include pretty girls. It also happens that the pretty-girl stories are the ones that people seem to appreciate the most. So it goes. Jan 09 07 02:24 am Link 50% Horse Shows (Paid) 20% Children (paid) 20% Female Models 18 to 80 blind cripple or crazzy large or small ( Paid__Unpaid) 10% Male Models same as above Just Kidding with the Blind and Cripple but lord not the crazzy Jan 09 07 02:29 am Link I don't really shoot models. What you can see in my port was all paid work. Shooting models pay from time to time, but I didn't get in to this to shoot them.I mainly shoot events, landscape, and pretty much stuff I like to see documented. If a model comes my way male or female that I just love the look, then i'll try and shoot with them. Jan 09 07 02:31 am Link My goal isnt to shot pretty girls, But I do however enjoy it. But as with alot of the other photographers there is alot of other stuff I do do and enjoy. potentially to a lesser extent but still enjoy Jan 09 07 02:34 am Link mcStudio wrote: Now we should all remember that there is no such a thing as ugly people, some just look better than others... Jan 09 07 02:35 am Link pretty images over pretty girls. since im not into girls... Jan 09 07 03:30 am Link artists are rare. Jan 09 07 03:34 am Link Nice post. Honestly I enjoy shooting @ all hours. Nothing brings shots to life like reflections off the water or the natural beauty of natural moonlighting. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", each is different. Thanks for the post! >....jimmi Jan 09 07 03:35 am Link Not a goal, but definitely a perk. Jan 09 07 03:49 am Link There are well over 30 different branches of photography, not all of which include photographing human models. Granted this site is going to primarily attract photographers that photograph people, mainly because it is hard to get a building, or an Ice Cream Sunday of some sort to respond to a casting call. Another factor in the thought that photography is just about working with beautiful female models is because there seems to be an abundance of female models willing to work. My preference is photographing female models, but like my page says I will never turn a male away and on occasion my image requires a male model. My personal experience with casting calls between genders is I sign 10 of each, 8/10 females show up for the shoot, and 2/10 males show up for the shoot. I am trying to get a portfolio that is better than what I am currently displaying together, so I accept a lot of models in a 3 month time period, and try to turn out 12 new pieces. Male models are just frustrating, not all of them, but the ones who confirm and don't show. Jan 09 07 03:52 am Link Was specifically talking about photographers on this site.. It's hard to survey, on a site like this, people who aren't actually ON a site like this. Jan 09 07 04:02 am Link Anthony Wallace wrote: What's wrong with shooting guys? Guys are people too Jan 09 07 04:07 am Link Since I am up answering a back log of emails. I take pictures of what I see and what I feel. Women, buildings, children, water, whatever. RB Jan 09 07 04:09 am Link i'm in this for a check. i'll play into anybodies vanity if i can make a profit.. Jan 09 07 04:11 am Link W.G. Rowland wrote: close but no cigar:I make pretty pictures of girls, there is a differance. I prefer cityscapes but no one really has an interest to see those images so I will continue making pretty pictures of girls another few months before its time for the kid to take a break Jan 09 07 04:20 am Link Anjel Britt wrote: only becouse we tend to hate artist and call them crazy so its not a good thing to explore your artistic side when you will be ridiculed for it by a bunch a copy cats and controll freaks...and oh I love anjel for being strong and pretty...she reminds me of annie lennox Jan 09 07 04:25 am Link business. just business. ~ F Jan 09 07 04:28 am Link Daguerre wrote: A little while back, I realized that The Man and The System don't actually exist!

I spent the day shooting plastic storage boxes. Boring as hell, but pays the bills. Pretty girls would be a definite improvement. Jan 09 07 05:45 pm Link I'm a lot more interested in (and turned on), by the clothes, than the models. Jan 09 07 05:49 pm Link |
