Those pictures of you that will not go away
There are so many awful pictures of me that i wish would just dissapear. Why do photograpghers always love the pictures that i HATE? I wish i would have used a fake name sometimes so when you google my name the worst pictures in the world wouldnt show up CRAP:( Do photographers have this problem too or are you guys proud of all of you work? Jan 24 06 05:54 pm Link Ok, I'll be the brave first to answer. No, I'm not askamed of anything I've done. I know that I'm not a master, and I'm gonna f*** up sometimes, and I'm gonna screw with the lighting, or blow something out, or leave a dog peeing in the background some times. It happens, you learn from it, and move on. Jan 24 06 05:57 pm Link Yeah. http://fotog.net/don15.jpg It just won't go away. Brian Fidler shot that several years ago and it's been everywhere. As a photographer my problem is that models show the initial drafts of stuff that I eventually throw away myself. -D Jan 24 06 06:02 pm Link I've seen that phenomenon on both ends--photographers that I've modeled for posting the worst pics of me from a particular shoot and models posting the pics I've taken of them that they liked the most from the Proof CD (which should have stayed there ;-) Jan 24 06 06:04 pm Link D.

Jan 24 06 06:07 pm Link yes, that's how it goes.  eventually, the photographers will shoot someone else and then take the 'also rans' down.  Jan 24 06 06:08 pm Link D. Brian Nelson wrote: Everywhere you say. Jan 24 06 06:09 pm Link I do not give models the photographs I do not like. That cuts out the problem for me right there.

Jan 24 06 06:25 pm Link now you see what i mean:(   Jan 24 06 06:30 pm Link Love the image names.... -D Jan 24 06 06:32 pm Link Awwwww, come on Jeska... you said you liked this one... at least that's what you wrote in the comment box...  Jan 24 06 06:34 pm Link I have to say i feel the same way... The models always love the shots I hate, and I almost don't like being associated with them, but as they say you are your own worst critic! Jan 24 06 06:37 pm Link I wouldn't worry about it. IMO, they reflect poorly on the photographer rather than the model. You did your job and gave the photographer/client what they wanted. What counts is having good photos in YOUR portfolio.

The photographer didn't give me time to load the pockets right. Jan 24 06 07:09 pm Link I can't say that I'm embarrassed of pics that I've taken that models have posted. BUT I am always amazed that when I allow models to look at their proof sheets, they inevitably choose pics that I am not fond of and if we talk about them and point out why they usually agree. That is also why I won't shoot with anyone who demands all the pictures no matter what. I typically provide a proof sheet with over 100 images to choose from when I do a full shoot. If you can't find what you want there - we didn't get it... Jan 24 06 07:13 pm Link For me it's videos. Man-oh-man....

I remember seeing those shots of you on here when you first started.Or perhaps it was the other site, I dunno. But you could have done a lot worse. I wouldn`t knock those shots. If I had shot them I would have tinker with some of the settings of the image. But other than that, don`t hate `em.

Do photographers have this problem too I'm not proud of all my work, but nobody but me EVER sees any image I make unless and until I've decided they can. No model ever gets so much as a preview image of a picture that I'm not willing to let the world see. They're not all great - they may not even all be good - but I try very hard not to let any actively *bad* ones out of my sight. Jan 25 06 01:58 pm Link They could very well be the absolute best shots that those photographers have. If so, why shouldn't they show them? Besides, there are plenty of people out there who aren't what you'd call aesthetically inclined. They probably think that those pictures are the hottest thing they've ever seen because you're topless. There are a number of photos of mine that I shot when I was just starting. They are comparatively worse than the crap I shoot now. Sometimes the person who wants the photos has different tastes than I do. I learned early to not do any work to which I don't want my name attatched. If there are images out there that you are unhappy with, don't sweat it. Although, there's a saying that you're only as good as your worst photo and I'm inclined to agree with such logic but I digress... Ignore that last comment. Concern yourself with what you have now and make sure that you add something that's better than the last. Jan 25 06 03:54 pm Link jeskavardinski wrote: Its a little worse for photographers though. Even though these pics suck you still look hotter than hades. Yes I'm sucking up. Jan 25 06 04:00 pm Link Jeska... just a tip, as I see you constantly spamming for people to shoot you for money... and you'll do anything for money.... because you need money.... why are you now concerned with quality? Seems the bed was self made...... Jan 26 06 04:33 am Link D. Brian Nelson wrote: Gee Brian, I wouldn't be upset with that shot. Looks to me like you bagged your limit, any more and you'd be poaching.
