I don't think that men photographers have bad ports its just that if you sit here for 3+hours all their ports blur together, then one will stick out and for some reason they tend to be a females port.

May be it's just women's perception of female beauty doesn't match men's perception of it

In which way? I see none any more women obsessed with implants than men

Women do not have the hang ups about sex. They are just looking for beauty.

Sexy female-former-model-photographers are much more fun to hang out with than male photographers.

Fact.

An even better question - why are the best female photographers all at least .5 lesbian?

Edit: ok, that's not true. But several of them are!

That would totally blow the "which buttons they are busy looking at" theory...

But historically, online, the "photographer" mix tends to be made up heavily of guys who bought toys and want to point them at pretty girls. Which kinda explains everything, doesn't it?

LOL.... could not have said it better my self

Stephanie... if it's anything related to fashion or beauty, than the sex is NOT left out of it, nor should it be.

(Which is not the same as hitting on or groping The Muse, or making a tart out of the The Muse. You love The Muse. Simple as that.)

And yes, the way I see it, lots of people become photographers for the wrong reasons.

The field is just better suited for women up and down the board.
Women see color much better than men. I'll only have my shots printed by a female lab tech.
Children and families are more comfortable around women, especially children.
Men are more comfortable around women.
Women trust women photographers more to notice small details.
My assistant is a woman. I wouldn't have it any other way.
The women I know are pretty, soft, warm, cuddly, smell good and I like to play various bedtime games with them before I go to sleep at night.

So on the whole, I do believe women have the slight upper hand in photography

I do not agree with your observation. The most beautiful female pics I have seen were done by male photographers.

I would have to agree with this.

because we can't think with our dicks, so all of our bloodflow is safely in our brain where we can concentrate on content, focus, and other ideas. Also, where you really see this is actually OUTSIDE websites where women photographers are filling museums with their work. It is more often documentary and story driven than glamour photography. Therefore, the photographer, male and female, who are more interested in content and context as well as having technical abilities and a unique eye are going to attract real art collectors and curators attention more than high polish glamour photography.

With that in mind, does that mean a female photographer, who is sexually stimulated by the subject(s) she is photographing, will produce work that is as equally equivalent to their male counterparts that are merely thinking with their dick?

You are my port and starbord :-)

Of course they don't make better photographers.  They have advantages and disadvantages.  Models may be more comfortable with them, models may not "connect" with them in the sexual chemistry sense that is important too.

The real test woudl be to check out the transexuals portfolios they would either be stunning or crap if the logic of this thread was followed to the ridiculous extreme that me being bored at lunch likes to .........LOL












I'm joking, people!

Maybe. I set my standards pretty low, so I'm never disappointed.

interesting thoughts

but can you find examples of what you're saying and juxtappose them?

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.

yes, yes!

HUH?  Do you mean that female photographers will comment on photos? One can be straight and still see beauty in a photo...

No, I didn't say (or imply) anything about comments... and I also edited my post so I wasn't excluding some wonderful straight female photographers. My post was written in fun.

Maybe you should view a few thousand more. I have seen some pretty sexy images shot by female photographers. I am a male photographer (though I may be using that term loosely) and you won't find too much sex taking place in my portfolio.
