you're sexist because you only shoot women......

This person has a problem and you should give them the ignoring of a lifetime. Oct 27 06 08:06 am Link People make accusations and negative comments many times when they are threatened. It could be his work isn't as good as yours, it could be that he'd like to work with you and you don't want to work with him, it could be that he's just an asshole...lol. I think it's ridiculous to call someone racist or sexist because they shoot a certain race or gender. Making art comes from the soul...what inspires each artist can be different. I work alot with female photographers and seem to do some of my best work with women...does this make me a sexist...no! Oct 27 06 09:49 am Link I shoot women and men. does that make me bisexual??

Oct 27 06 10:09 am Link Once I figure out how to photograph a nude male without it looking homoerotic I probably will shoot more naked men.YES, it can be done, I've seen images of nude men tht are absolutely art and non-sexual. It's me, my mindset, my lack of workable technical knowledge perhaps, but it's something I've considered. I used to shoot a lot of headshots for actors back in the nineties and they didn't look gay so I guess I just need to translate that somehow. I certainly don't shoot every woman as sexy or a sex object or sensual so again I should be able to do that for a male HOWEVER, I absolutely deny the "sexist" allegation theory and Raven of all people is amazingly open minded on art and people and that was totally unfair to him.

Fortunately, I can simply say that there aren't very many black fetish/bondage models. The same thing goes for male models too. I actually would love to have more men and more women of color in my book, but they're just not into it. Oct 27 06 01:02 pm Link |
