I would have said that was actually a highly paid model in a very specific wardrobe and set, lit to capture the sense of a quick snapshot in a tawdry restaurant.  It took hours of painstaking set up and post production work to produce this astounding facsimile of the real thing.  Its not nearly as easy as it looks.

Of course for me, thats probably true.  ;^p

You might want to talk to her about those images. Hooters has a pretty strict policy about their 'official' uniform. The uniform and photograph usage is in their employment contract. I don't know about these shots, since they seem to be at the restaurant, but they are being used on a commercial site (MM) by someone other than the model. I've worked with various levels of Hooters management and I've had corporate materials that strictly limited usage of their corporate trademarks.

Just a FYI. I know you wouldn't want her to catch any flak over a few innocent images.

DID YOU KNOW!!! Hooters has over 425 locations in 46 states and 19 countries.

We had one of those here in downtown Vancouver ( Canada) ..It had to close due to lack of interest/business

I have GOT to start bringing my camera to Hooters.  Then again, I need to start GOING to Hooters (would you believe I've never been to one?).

Personally , I find your photography quite disturbing ( with all those taped up women) - but that is just my opinion ..AS for the guy wandering round taking pictures of girls bums - If it hasnt happened already  ,one of these days he's gonna get slapped really hard

Hey, it's a living.  People pay to see it, so why not?  Don't feel like standing behind a camera while two people have sex and Playboy owns the Strip porn industry, so this is the next best thing.

Point taken.  But maybe I can hire a couple of them out as models...

Good luck. Ive found it easier to put a Hooters outfit on a regular model.

Ok,  you guys win.  You've shamed me into it. :6)

I was going to wait to replace the Hooters girl photos until I had some new images to replace them, but I'm taking them down now.

Welcome to MM Jim...
As you have discovered, don't you dare be a newbie and have an opinion; you'll get burned for it (obviously).
Keep on shooting!
