Apr 21 14 10:05 pm Link As a hair and makeup artist working with both, I find female photographer's will take you to the edge, while male photographer will sometimes take you over the edge. I can almost always tell if the image was taken by a guy or girl. The female photographer just seems to have a softer look to their pictures. R- Apr 23 14 03:28 pm Link Female photographers wear heels and make-up to photo shoots. Male photographers look like they are going fishing, hiking, or about to do yard work. I don't know any female photographers that are not former or current models. On a shoot it would be hard for the average person to tell who was the model and who was the photographer especially if she was not holding a camera.

But as far as heels go, as a strict numbers game, yes, female photographers are probably wearing them at their shoots in far greater numbers than male photographers. That said, as a female photographer who is friends with and has worked with a lot of other female photographers.... yeah, not so much. The idea makes my ankles hurt when I think about the contorting that I frequently do to get a certain angle *just* right. Also, I'd look like a complete tool. Apr 29 14 10:27 pm Link Gender is one of the many factors that can affect/influence a person's work and how they are perceived and interact with the world. I shoot models with my male partner a LOT. Above all the major difference: The fact that he is 6'3" and I am 5'7" means I generally see eye to eye with people and he naturally looks down on the model (except for a few models who are 6'+!) Other than that, though, I find that we both are compassionate and empathize with the model, even though our point of view and working styles are very different. I have worked with hundreds of male photographers, and all work differently. Of the female photographers I have worked with, I find that they tend to be very driven, organized, and communicative (not as a rule, but a good majority of the female photographers I have worked with). Gender doesn't have too much of an influence on my decision to work with someone or not in the end. Apr 29 14 10:57 pm Link I have only worked with one female photographer, and she was beyond amazing! I would work with female photographers anytime! Also because I want to see more representative of my gender in this beautiful profession.  May 02 14 01:04 pm Link Well guys since I can't view the image you linked through tumbir (no account) which I am guessing is not a softer image from a female photographer, I will have to take your word for it! And I should have added most often, not every. Thank you for reference though!

I am amazed that they can pull it off but maybe I shouldn't since I have seen women hiking in the back country in heels. May 05 14 07:19 am Link |
