Style babylon
I don't know if this was discussed earlier - I couldn't find it in the archives, but today it just came to me, that I have no clue what kind styles exist (photowise) and how they are defined... I mean there is Glamour, Lifestyle, Artistic Nude, Nude...etc... But is there something somewhere, which tells me what is what? There are already some "Glamour Shots" here I would say "Nude" - others are labeled "Fashion" which I would classify "Lifestyle"... Hell, I can't even define the style I use in my portfolio... Can somebody enlighten me please? Jan 03 06 07:30 am Link i would have to agree that I have no idea what they are andit would be interestig to find out. Jan 03 06 07:41 am Link Unfortunately, those terms are enigmatic and subjective with hazy borders. There are few real definitions. But give me a sec and I'll look for some previous threads.

All the rest seem to be about defining nudity, implied, sheer, etc. We've had enough of that. Jan 03 06 07:49 am Link Thanks Brian. Yeah - I found the one with the nude, imlied nude...etc myself, but that wasn't exactly what I was searching for. I'll check and recheck the threads you mentioned But what Glamour wrote comes closer to it. Still it confuses me. Someone once told me that lifestyle is everything which shows you in life situations (e.g. Business woman with a cell talking while in a french style street café). But I have seen these shots and they're also qualify for fashion or glamour... Or am I wrong? Is this variety that wide that you actually cannot put your finger on it? BTW - have the same difficulties with music... Jan 03 06 08:12 am Link 90% of my asleep brian thinks that I should leave this thread here for we will finally have an off topic thread that relates to modeling. The other half of my brian thinks I should move it to General. I see Brain has responded so I will leave it here. (how is that for mod humor?) Jan 03 06 08:42 am Link I thought I was your 90% asleep brian. I'm certainly not 100% awake. I need some coffee. https://modelmayhem.com/posts.php?thread_id=22775 But I'll move it to an on-topic forum, like General Mayhem. How does that sound? BD, MM Moderator Jan 03 06 08:46 am Link I'm glad I didn't have to hurt my brian to think about it  Soo easy to post off-topic...Jan 03 06 08:49 am Link Brian Diaz wrote: Wait, I am dizzy.

Jan 03 06 08:53 am Link PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE TERMINOLOGY: A series of terms, such as fashion, lifestyle, nude, glamour and artistic which have deliberately been applied in such an inconsistent and random manner that rationale people cannot agree upon their meaning so that any new model can be convined that standing naked in times square with a rose in her teeth is the next groundbreaking fashion statement which would make taking her clothes off acceptable! I personally think they are now nothing more than arbitrary terms for which none of us could agree upon their specific meanings. Jan 03 06 09:45 am Link Brian Diaz wrote: You need some coffee.
