Puh-lease! -discuss- Jan 16 06 01:27 pm Link It's WINTER, it's in style right now. Jan 16 06 01:29 pm Link Glamour Boulevard wrote: Why? Jan 16 06 01:29 pm Link So what do you want to replace them with? Angel wings or girls on railroad tracks? Jan 16 06 01:29 pm Link i see nothin wrong with fur hoods Jan 16 06 01:30 pm Link StaciF wrote: How about hand-over-boobs pictures!

Jan 16 06 01:31 pm Link I was wondering if i was the only one thinking this  This and the flower petals on models, guitar in front of the model shots.Jan 16 06 01:32 pm Link StaciF wrote: woman on a swing...definitely not enough of those Jan 16 06 01:32 pm Link with the ways thiings are going.. soon there will be nothing left to shoot DAMN Jan 16 06 01:33 pm Link It may be winter but I have seen this trend in head shots for a couple years now, in all seasons. But c`mon, how many times can you shoot a close up head shot of a girl with her face surrounded by fur? Jan 16 06 01:35 pm Link If these "no more...." threads keep up, pretty soon we'll have nothing left to shoot. Jan 16 06 01:36 pm Link Janine wrote: Oops, didn't even see this. Jan 16 06 01:36 pm Link Yes, this can cease since my portfolio has the best fur hood shots! Jan 16 06 01:38 pm Link A fur hood over the boobs, held in place ever so gently with the hand.... yeah that gets it. The corrollary to that idea in my portfolio is the blond with the blue lace (which will likely lead to a "No more blondes in blue lace!!" thread). (Titled "Blue Lace" by the way. Subtle, no?) I told her to "hold the lace gently so that the slightest move of your hand would let it go. Now picture the right person looking at you for whom you would slightly move your hand". Snap the shutter once and it was Miller time. Jan 16 06 01:38 pm Link I've switched my avatar to my furry coat shot, just for you. Jan 16 06 01:43 pm Link I'm doing the same Sita  Jan 16 06 01:44 pm Link Aesa wrote: you shouldn't do things like that to us dirty minded old men Jan 16 06 01:45 pm Link Aesa wrote: Lapis tries and succeeds to do this....the only problem is that to do it the knees are going to be in front of the feet. Anyone wanna hire me? Jan 16 06 01:45 pm Link Ember Helen wrote: Yours and Sitas are not the type of shot I am talking about really. At least yours and hers show some imagination. The ones I am talking about mainly are the ones that are very upcloase and you see her face in the center of the shot and the rest of the photo is fur, yours is close but very different because of the cropping,imo . Jan 16 06 01:50 pm Link Dear god, people are actually emailing me because of this? sheesh. Jan 16 06 01:53 pm Link Sita Mae Edwards wrote: Me too! Jan 16 06 03:01 pm Link The model for my fashion class brought one of those this week.. so awful Jan 16 06 04:00 pm Link Heather Lewis Amyot wrote: Sita Mae Edwards wrote: Me too! Here...I'll help... Jan 16 06 04:07 pm Link Almost anything is a legitimate subject for photography. Fur coats, railroad tracks, stairwells, fire trucks, bikinis on beaches, war deaths, dying people smoking cigarettes, babes on cars, kids laughing in amusement parks, models walking down runways. Anything. Do something you like, and do it well, and don't worry about whether someone else calls it a cliche. You may just show it in a different light or be so evocative that it moves someone, after all. Jan 16 06 04:13 pm Link Awww but I like fur. Jan 16 06 04:23 pm Link She just looks so cute!!!  Jan 16 06 04:26 pm Link Glamour Boulevard wrote: Actually I've never shot it, but now, just for spite, I'm going to and I'm emailing it to you. Jan 16 06 04:30 pm Link Threads like this prove one thing: if it's done well, then nobody cares. Every time a concept is raised (and it's happened with both models with angel's wings and models on railroad tracks), someone will post a pic saying "Oh, you mean like this one I have in my profile?" and the general responses are variations of "Well, yeah, but I like yours..." I'm just waiting for the day when a concept gets raised, someone posts a picture to refute and someone else responds with "No, actually I think yours are bullshit, too..."

Jan 16 06 08:52 pm Link BasementStudios wrote: gotta know my email first,lol. Jan 17 06 01:53 am Link **throws another "please stop shooting this" idea out there*** caution tape...around the ta-tas, the hips- the waist- whatever. Unless you can offer a different spin on it other than the usual- stop. enough. save the caution tape for real dangers. Go ahead- flame away. Jan 17 06 09:34 am Link Aesa wrote: I have an idea! It will be done... Jan 17 06 09:37 am Link Glamour Boulevard wrote: Yeah, im from Afrika, it doesnt work for some reason, lol... Jan 17 06 09:54 am Link Lol.....I agree. You can go to solomodels or should I say the Nicolaas de Bruin we love you site, and see enough of the hooded shot. Have fun! Jan 17 06 09:58 am Link Aw, c'mon!!! It was my first try at it and I like it:  I think a lot has to do with using the right model to pull it off. Justin wrote: Right on. Someone once said there are really only 32 plots in storytelling, yet people consistently put out great books and movies using their own variations. I think the artist Luis Royo said that everything we see gets processed in our heads the same, but due to our own experiences and lifestyle, things come back out with our own different stamp on them. Jan 17 06 10:11 am Link I'm tired of all those pretty models.......Wayyy overdone! Jan 17 06 06:40 pm Link But I LOVE fur-hooded coats! I wear one myself. (Hooded coat self-pic forthcoming, hehe.) Jan 17 06 08:03 pm Link Ooops, double post. But just to re-iterate, I love fur hoodies. :-) Jan 17 06 08:04 pm Link |
