is it just Atlanta?
or everywhere that all the photographer ports are full of booty shots?! where are all the real fashion photogs? Aug 23 06 10:54 am Link NYC and Europe, mainly. Aug 23 06 10:55 am Link I am in Atlanta and dont think I have ever shot a booty....or a bootay as some here say....I shot some boots last weekend...and some boobs a month ago....but no booty or bootay...or bootimous maximus... Aug 23 06 10:56 am Link booty, boobs... it's all the same. i want vogue, not playboy Aug 23 06 11:01 am Link Are you making it clear to the photographers you are working with what you are looking for in images? If that is not done and the photographer is left to determine the content on his or her own....then there is no telling what you might end up with. If it is TFP.....well..that is one reason to pay a photographer...so you know what you pay for is what you will get...rather than get what they feel best fits their portfolio. Aug 23 06 11:04 am Link Very good point. That's why the project i'm casting now is PAID. My problem is that browsing the portfolios all I see is skin skin skin, and not much fashion. If I'm going to pay the photographer, I wanted to see example the he or she can shoot fashion. Aug 23 06 11:12 am Link Perhaps it is just Atlanta. Personally, I like the fact that most of the people here shoot booty and boobs. It actually makes my crap seem unique... Aug 23 06 02:59 pm Link Not a single "booty pic" in mine. Aug 23 06 06:17 pm Link Seriously, why do booty shots BOTHER some of ya'll so much? I mean there is a new post on this, GWC's, Escorts, and TFP at least once every 3 days.

The problem isn't the photograpers don't exist-they just aren't here at BOOTY CENTRAL. Where ANYONE that can afford a camera can call themselves a photographer, and post photos of nekkid womens to most everyone's delight!

She'd be hard pressed to find an abundance of Fashion shooter in ANY town where 70 percent of the market is commercial print and urban glamour/ fashion. Aug 23 06 11:00 pm Link Piss and moan all you want....I'd rather point my lenses toward Vogue and GQ than Maxim and King. Maybe she sounds a bit frustrated-but there's nothing wrong with wanting to do something special instead of maintaing the staus...and there's PLENTY of fashion work in ATL....you just have to make it happen yourself....Jezebel, Peach, Atlanta, all publish monthly fashion editorials. I personally have worked on fashion shoots here for The Source, GQ, Cargo, and a product piece for Maxim (all published and in my stylist port...#127026) Aug 23 06 11:10 pm Link GregBrown wrote: i didn't say they weren't there I said they weren't abundant and they aren't definately. At least not in comparrison. Aug 23 06 11:16 pm Link My port is all about fashion. It's got so much fashion that I may have to take some out of it. yea, that's the ticket... my port is full of fashion. Aug 24 06 03:13 pm Link Interesting timing. I started a different thread about dumping my entire port and doing just fashion. Should take me a few weeks to look like a whole new photographer. ) Aug 24 06 03:20 pm Link Umm...I may not be in Atlanta...oops, yes I am... Umm...what was the question? ::goes to look at some more booty shots:: Aug 24 06 03:23 pm Link there really isn't much of a market for it here, it's probably more like 95% commercial, but it can be done, like Greg said.

Aug 24 06 03:41 pm Link If you want online fashion photography, then go to The Fashion Only Forum at http://www.duroi.com/fashionforum/. The folks there are very fashion oriented, and serious about it. It isn't easy to be accepted there, but there really isn't anyplace else quite as good. -Don Aug 24 06 04:54 pm Link |
