Jerks calling themselves photographers to get laid
....blue cheese and black olive pizza...wealth....fame...immortality.... Oct 03 06 11:40 pm Link Only a few of you got the point. A person, man or woman cannot expect to be rated as a TOP MODEL just because they have the idea that they want to model. It takes lots of experience. Just like it takes to be a great photographer. Any bum can buy a digital camera and call himself a photographer. Oct 03 06 11:41 pm Link Wait....? Oct 03 06 11:44 pm Link Ruben Grolet wrote: So, this was the point of the original post?

Oct 03 06 11:46 pm Link well in MHO the only way the OP is helping a model get into playboy is by 'DRIVING" her over there, so maybe he should start a car service or something then he could use the money from the car service to actually HIRE models that are attractive with most of their clothes off ya know ive been getting laid so much lately that i might have to stop calling myself a photographer too ;-) oh wait i think the jerk store called, and they were out of something or other Oct 03 06 11:46 pm Link Dean STOP!

Oct 03 06 11:55 pm Link And to know that my sex life died when i became a photographer !!  Oct 03 06 11:56 pm Link I honestly don't understand why everyone here feels the need to diss everyone elses work. If you don't like what a photographer does then so be it. You not liking what someone else does, does not make it crap, or worthless material. NO ONE is perfect and if you think you are then you're seriously in for a rude awakening. And for everyone else to jump on someone wagon, makes you even more senseless. C'mon people-how old are we here, really? There is a lot of talent here on MM, we all know that. Perhaps some aren't as savvy as you but hey! They aren't you! And there are plenty of people out there who might think of your work (this is pointed at everyone, myself included) as passe, old hat, not up to par. Big deal. Does it make you a bad photographer just because someone else doesn't like what you're doing with a camera? There are ways to criticize without lowering yourselves to grade school level. Oct 03 06 11:58 pm Link When pointing the finger, wise men should always wipe the shit off of it first.

Were you that secret admirer that sent me the Rollei when I turned 14? I still haven't figured out who it was...

If she was so hot, your portfolio would have benefited and the model would have as well. If the girl said it wasn't rape, she had fun with drugs and sex, so it likely wasn't. The rant seemed to be a collision of rejection (she wouldn't shoot with you, no matter how upstanding you told her you were) and anger (the whole bullet thing.) You seem to be too personally involved, which you are saying is a bad thing when it's not you. Nude photography isn't the only photography out there; I guess you can get good at other work while you sort out your feelings about how to improve what you are passionate about. Perhaps offer a small fee for some fashion work (clothes on) with girls that will portray beauty? It's less scary for women.

Thanks for your opinion. Your stuff isn't bad, but it's not my cup of coffee. Doesn't mean your stuff is bad and I won't sit here and write some haneous and childish response picking your work apart just because the only thing you could come up with is a casual insult. The man and child are my husband and daughter. That is the type of photography that I do. I didn't sign up to model mayhem for fame and fortune, I make quite a large amount of money being in the veterinary field. It's a hobby...nothing more.

Oct 04 06 12:19 am Link If she says it wasn't rape, it most likely wasn't. Perhaps she said she had sex with him because she knows you want her, and you are being a pest about doing a shoot for that very reason. Women can sense that kind of vibe rather easily. If she has been seeing your portfolio on here, I wouldn't want to shoot with you either to be honest. Sorry just being honest. Your profile also reads like you are trying to convince the reader you are a photographer because of all your toys. Knowing composition is more important than expensive equipment. Oct 04 06 12:22 am Link Ruben, I have to agree with the vast majority here but I will put it to you being a little more thought out. 1. If the girl didn't want to work with you, then you probably should have just let it go and sought out work elsewhere. If you're a good photographer then this would have come easy for you. 2. This girl chose to work with someone else. Do you know for certain that she was drugged? Did she tell you this herself or are you guessing because she had sex with him? If she doesn't claim it as rape, then obviously she didn't feel threatened by him and if she eff's every photographer she works with then it doesn't say much about her character. 3. I don't think you should waste anymore time trying to explain yourself to people who aren't listening. Just some kindly advice. Take it or leave it. Oct 04 06 12:24 am Link When I get drugged and raped, I'm a happy camper.

Oct 04 06 12:27 am Link Uh your on a PUBLIC Modeling website ? Did I miss something? I wasnt making fun of your work I said you have a HALF A$$ portfolio ( nowheer in there did it state your WORK sucks? I was simply stating that youron MM Whining we are JUDGing other peoples work When clearly this is FREEDOM of speech , if you dont like it go cry... its a tough world especially in this business Also .. this is about a photographer who is Sore that a model didnt shoot with him "she went and got raped " Could have been consentual but who knows... Point taken .. GREAT .. moving on.... Public modeling and photography site,yes. But who's to say that the models have to all be tall, pale and wear blonde hair extensions? Seriously... who's crying? In case you haven't noticed, the modeling industry doesn't only cater to your style of modeling. And I know that this thread is based on Rubens' post and my response was simply that there are constructive ways of criticism w/out lowering yourself to a two-year old level. That's all.
