Are you like me and can't stand cheesy pic titles? You know the ones like "Come and Get It Big Boy"?

My favorite is the title to all images where the model is looking off to nowhere... it's usually called " Waiting."

How about the title to this one
"Hither"? Cheese wrapped in bacon?
Fancy aged cheese? You decide.

How would you describe the caption "1 Hot Mama"?
(a cheesy name used as a cheesy caption?)

Actually I find that kind of stuff entertaining. I have given some cheesey names to my shots before. I don't think I have any of those up now. I don't take any of this too deadly serious, so the cornball work is fun to me.

Actually, I think they fit in if they are used to caption images that replicate retro-style garage calendars and pin ups.  The captions were part and parcel of that era and I don't see anything "cheesy" about using them in that manner.

Well a little while ago I saw a thread on here where someone was complaining about people who don't use captions on their photos.  The other day I put captions on some of mine.  I don't have any that say "Come and get it, big boy" (lol), but I do have a bathtub pic that says "Wanna join me?"

I can never think of titles for my images, so when I give my photos one, they are either cheesy or rather dull.

I think this will have to be a little bit of column A and a little bit of column B wink

I am completely shameless when it comes to titling pictures. I pun. I insinuate. I make references that maybe six people on the planet would get.

They're my pictures. I can do as I like with them.

That being said, I don't put titles on the pics in my portfolio or my comp cards or anything like that. If I'm trying to get a job, I act as formally as the situation calls for.
