Why do women make better photographers?
I have look at thousands of your profiles and the ones that really stand out a female ports. I think it is because women are more comfortable posing for other women, or maybe female photographers are less concerned with the sex and more concerned with the art, what do you think.

I believe before you can make a truly unique statement you have to know and understand what everyone else is saying. Nov 29 06 12:23 am Link just ask renee jacobs and km von seidl????? they can tell you.

There might be something that I like, but it doesn't mean that I like their work as a whole. That's pretty much my point of view on the majority of what I've see on here and off. Even the well knowns, some of their work isn't that impressive to me. Example. Annie Liebovitz. I saw her work here at a gallery and wasn't impresssed at all.

I think the male talent is deluted by those not shooting for the purposes of photography. But I also think you may be on to something with the comfort level as well. Nov 29 06 12:25 am Link If they do, I'd hate to think about how crappy my work would be were I a man...lmao Nov 29 06 12:26 am Link Jack Crash wrote: The same reason that men make better auto mechanics.

Nov 29 06 12:29 am Link Well, I've seen a LOT of men photographers with awesome ports as well as many with lousy ports. Same goes with women. Overall I'd say there's more good than bad for both sexes, and perhaps because there are fewer women photographers here, there is less bad shots seen? Just a thought.... IMHO, truly good photographers are more concerned about the shot than the actual subject in front of them - meaning that they can have a naked model, etc. in front of them and they aren't thinking sex, they are thinking shutter speed, F stop, composition, etc. - too busy to even realize what's before them until later. Whereas there are some photogs who are paying more attention to breasts, etc. and not the actual shot. Nov 29 06 12:29 am Link Someone's trying to get laid in a fashion neither Uno or I have tried yet.. Let us know how that works out. Nov 29 06 12:30 am Link It's funny you posted this.. I was thinking of posting something similar a couple days ago. I think it's true. I know of several models/turned photographers who were better photographers from day one of picking up a camera than many of the men who claim to have done this for decades. I think perhaps it's because women are paying attention to the buttons on the box and we're paying attention to her buttons?

Nov 29 06 12:36 am Link John Jebbia wrote: I don't think that's gender related, so much as the fact that models get a head start. If they pay attention as they work, they can learn a whole lot about light and composition and what goes into making a good image. By the time they first pick up a camera, it's possible to have gotten some really useful training that leapfrogs them ahead once they start shooting. Nov 29 06 12:38 am Link I'd like to say woman are better cuz I'm a photographer too lol. Well, NEW photographer.. I've only been behind the lens for about 5 months. I removed my photography port from here but if anyone cares here's a link to my photography site: photography.tiffanyalonzo.com Nov 29 06 12:39 am Link Jack Crash wrote: A bicycle.

Nov 29 06 01:00 am Link I think they are better because they have more time to invest in between cooking dinner and making babies. ...is this thing on? Nov 29 06 01:08 am Link Are there any nude women photographers out their? I'd love to shoot with them and then I would definitely think she was better than ANY photographer. Nov 29 06 01:09 am Link cause we can have sex with the escorts Nov 29 06 01:09 am Link Psychologically, women tend to be more emotional and more expressive. Men tend to be compositional. Maybe women's work speaks to you more because it tends to be (tend is the key word) more emotionally expressive. Nov 29 06 01:12 am Link Star wrote: HAHAHAHAHA!!!
