Models generally will get more views and comments than photographers - wankers again mostly, but also suck-up photographers that think a comment about beautiful lighting of an otherwise cheesy picture will get them points.

In my portfolio there doesn't seem to be much relationship between the comment count and the amount skin showing, though skin does bring the views.

It would be fun if some database guy figured a way to search and compile all those numbers so the relationships could be analyzed.   Parameters would be:

1. Port type (model, photog or other),
2. Comment from (same)
3. Skin count (T, A, P, T&A, etc.),
4. Comment about (photograph, or model - might have to be a subjective sort).

Just thinking again...

I agree on an interest in the relationships, but...
would it be worth the effort to compile? I think it's just one of those quirks that happens and that we are aware of (those of us who actually pay attention, that is - some with blinders on won't see any connection).

Shouldn't be a puzzlement, simply consider the source.

Its true that models get more comments than photogrpahers. While I can't prove that scientifically, in my general wanderies through this site I've seen that to be the case. However, I don't agree on the statement that nusity brings more views. In my portfolio some of my non-nude images get far more views and comments than the nude images. On other sites, like Usefilm, my nude images get far for attention. So, its rather interesting actually.

You must be the exception to the rule...200+ views of the one implied image on my portfolio while all the others are < 100

It's probably a "useless" statistic, but I'm curious myself.

I ran across an image a few weeks back in a model's portfolio. Great shot, great makeup, great expression. I checked out the MUA and photographer's portfolio, and they all had that same image. Neither the MUA or photographer's copy had any comments; the model's had a dozen or more.

And let me guess... almost all the comments came from GWC's just tryin to get over... LOL...

Exactly.

When someone compliments a model on one of my shots, I accept it as a compliment towards me as well, only without the thought of them wanting to get in my pants.

Damn...I *wish* everyone wanted to get in my pants that commented....I'd be so much more flattered!
