Who's the biggest jerk here?
Ive got to stop laughing now and get packing... Take care Bob! lol... Oct 01 06 09:43 am Link 41? Oct 01 06 09:47 am Link Ignore Bob. I am the biggest jerk on here cause I turned him onto MM. And made him an mm forum addict just like us. Oct 01 06 09:55 am Link Oh, and I turned my bf into a model just so I could say I do sleep with my models....and I got the garden spider outside my window to be my muse and I have done like 4 photoshoots with it, haven't given it any prints or made it sign any release forums. See how evil I am? Oct 01 06 09:57 am Link I violate the copyright of no-show models who I shoot in both film and digital, JPG vs. RAW, with or without a release, while eschewing everyone's sense of what is cliche in an image, using profoto or alien bee lights, with both canon and nikon gear, combining histograms and light meters, all the while ranting about it here in the forums. I like art and commerce, and love to over/under photoshop my holga images, same for my leica. But I never met a scenario that couldn't be lit with 1-50 lights, or reflectors if I have them or can make them out of foamcore. I don't compress my JPG images, because they are what a "true" photographer shoots because they know how to "get it right in the camera", well I don't compress them unless I open them and save them, at least I think that's how it works. I hate ringlights, they are passe, so I only use them in 70% of my images, the other 50% I use other stuff. I require a deposit from all TEST/TFP/TFCD/TFBJ models unless I have worked with them before, or they are hot looking. I provide ALL images in RAW format while shooting (just give the model the CF card), unless the modified release says otherwise, cause that would be a copyright violation. Otherwise I provide 1 image of my mom's choosing anywhere from 2 hours to 2 years after a shoot. Typically this is in JPG format because nobody really shoots for prints anymore right. Plus if the client/model isn't paying for that shoot I can't really be any good since you get what you pay for and only paid photographers can provide you with quality images, and only photographers who are destitute can provide you with real art. I shoot nudes only in the reportage style when I am feeling artistic, like throw open the bathroom door while the model is changing. I like run-on sentences and no punctuation when I write, and think that newton/penn/lachapelle/demarchelier/adams is a hack depending on what day it is and how shitty I feel like my work really is. I take out my incompetence on others by demeaning their work in the forums regardless of what the actual topic of record is. I think it is the equipment and not the photographer that makes the image, unless he is a "professional" in which case he can get a stellar image smearing his colon with collodion and using his sphincter as a pinhole camera, cause it's all about the image after all. Most of all I LOVE THESE FORUMS and the Internet, they are the best source of true knowledge in the world, or at least the U.S.A. since that's all that really matters anyway. Oh, and I like beans. Oct 01 06 10:58 am Link I had this gorgeous babe standing in front of me on a mountain top. smokin photo session was in full force! I then noticed some wires hangin out of her shorts. I Thought, man, without photoshop this shoot is a bust! No razor in site, so I walk up to her and grab those little wires with the hopes that they would gently come out gently. Was I wrong. the screams as she fell 4000 ft to her ungodly demise! moral of the story! mo the lawn, before you go on vacation. Oct 01 06 11:12 am Link May I just say that you all suck greatly.. And that your only redeeming quality is that I am worse than each and every one of you.. (Except maybe, GRHorn.. Rib breaking? Damn.. Assholes are assholes, but hospitalizing them isn't really a lesson in humility as much as it is a lesson in irony..) Oct 01 06 11:20 am Link WhiteBears Visions wrote: LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oct 01 06 11:29 am Link I've got 2: When I was first starting out (as in years ago, b&w darkroom experience only and my portrait experience was limited to my mom and a couple friends) I met an actress online and agreed to do some headshots for her on a trade basis. I'd never seen her picture before and when she showed up, she was just a total troll. There was no making this girl look good and of course I knew nothing about lighting to possibly help the situation. Needless to say, the photos were AWFUL and to make matters worse I overdeveloped the film so even with the lowest filter I had there was no softening the blemishes and frizzy hair sticking out everywhere. After putting the actress off for about 2 months I finally told her I ruined the film in developing and there were no photos. The other was when I was newly single after a 2 year relationship and had a guy I met online bugging me to go out with him. He was decent looking in the photos I'd seen so I finally agreed on the condition that he model for one of my school projects. When he showed up at the studio he was so good looking and made me so nervous that I actually dropped my camera and shattered the lens. It was the best first impression ever...

And, I can't say that if I weren't in the same spot I might not have done the same.. But, I'm a little guy, and I doubt anyone's ribs would have gone rice crispies, so I can sit here and be a snob..

Oct 01 06 03:19 pm Link I shot a model who I could not make look good. I tried. I even offered to have her shoot with a friend I know who does much better photography. That's not the creepy part. The creepy part is she started spreading nasty rumors using my name on craigslist in the area saying all sorts of lies. So the model was the utter creep. I've not really done anything creepy like force a model to sleep with my husband (though I've had my husband harassed by gay men actings as escorts which is why I'm fairly against them at this point...straight, gay, boyfriend, husband? Forget it! Either a fellow model or none at all.) though I'm sure some of the models I've shot will have horrible stories about me. Webspinner probably wins though. She seems like she wants to win... ;-) Oct 01 06 03:37 pm Link Meehan wrote: I love to hear how its blowin for you. any hair grow back yet there sporto/ You sure did howl alot for such a large gale.

Oct 05 06 06:13 pm Link my most unproffesional, but damn amusing to myself at the time, moment at a shoot was either last summer or the summer before, they had all these models and photographers in an old armory to do a meet and greet shoot kind of deal. well they put all the models in the gym, like a meat market and had you sit there and wait til a photog chose you. i waited for about 8 hours and only had one girl ask me and it was like a 10 minute shoot. all the other models were getting picked like crazy....my own photog who invited me there was ignoring me. so i found a skateboard and started doing laps and tricks all over the gym. jumping over models luggage, being a straight up asshole pretty much. but hey i dont regret it or care what they made have said, at least i know how to have fun in a very dull and annoying situation.
