Somebody is shooting baby portraits like this ....
Other topic here reminded me of this shocking article: http://spluch.blogspot.com/2006/10/cute … ngels.html  Dec 03 06 04:47 pm Link Yeah I saw the article in one of the news magazines about a month or two ago. The photographer would give the children candy then take it away to make them cry. A little sadistic if you ask me, but the lighting is really good in all of the photos in the seriesâ¦I am sure I would be sued in a heartbeat if it were me taking the photosâ¦lol Dec 03 06 04:56 pm Link That is the oldest trick in the book. Remember Judy Garland's accounts of what directors would do/say to make her cry? I think the photos are beautiful, as much as it sucks to see a kid cry. Dec 03 06 04:58 pm Link It's Jill Greenberg. She's amazing. Dec 03 06 05:00 pm Link I absolutely hate hearing babies cry. This photographer is punishing herself, in my opinion. Dec 03 06 05:01 pm Link After looking at the rest of the pictures....I love it! Dec 03 06 05:05 pm Link Thyronne wrote: umm...herself. She is a well known, accomplished photographer. Dec 03 06 05:06 pm Link these pictures are awesome. the kids will get over it anyway : ) Dec 03 06 05:08 pm Link It's all depends on what it for. I'm sure it's not for the parents, LOL. Dec 03 06 05:08 pm Link in one of the pics on the link the baby looks so mad. Dec 03 06 05:10 pm Link Dan Howell wrote: The weird part is, the pictures are intensely political, at least in concept, but nobody ever says anything about that. You'd think that the Republican-leaning critics would be saying how this was cruel mistreatment of children for the evil Godless liberal agenda. Dec 03 06 05:33 pm Link I love them... I want a redo at life! haha Someone tranfer me into a screaming baby so I can have a kick ass baby photo! All my baby photos are lame ...er.. *Sandra Dec 03 06 05:41 pm Link I love it! Kids cry, why not capture the moment. They won't even remember the experience. Dec 03 06 06:00 pm Link smo1869 wrote: mine just scream "sexy." Dec 03 06 06:24 pm Link i know a couple of one year olds that would have fought her for that candy Dec 03 06 06:28 pm Link yeah, they're definitely going to be scarred for life. or, two minutes later she'll give them more candy, and the world will be okay again. and the photos look more like illustrations than photographs, to me. Dec 04 06 02:22 am Link The images are grotesque. RB Dec 04 06 02:27 am Link TroisCouleurs wrote: There is a call for stuff like this, especially for medical websites and such. You better believe that if I got paid big bucks for stock photography,little johnie would be cryin if need be,lol. Dec 04 06 02:31 am Link oh its not like she's burning them with a hot iron to get them to cry...they wont have any life long trauma or grow up to become serial killers because of a piece of candy being taken away. get over it, shes obviously taking the pics for a collective series to stir up controversy for publicity, and its working! i dont see whats so wrong with it at all, i think at least she had an original idea which is more then most people have now. ever see the brutality book? a photog who collected pics of people about to be murdered? now thats something to get pissed off about or rant about, more so then kids crying anyways Dec 04 06 02:33 am Link Think of it this way. Their lungs are a little stronger from it  Dec 04 06 02:35 am Link Poor kids will probably have an aversion to photographers for the rest of their lives.

It's all about making bank for Ms. Greenberg, and I hear she's doing quite well in that department... Dec 04 06 09:39 am Link Dan Howell wrote: StMarc wrote: Very thoughtful reply.

I would be fascinated if you could come up with any credible research to support tihs claim. Fascinated because I don't believe it exists and I'm pretty knowledgable in this area. Dec 04 06 09:56 am Link ZERB! Dec 04 06 08:08 pm Link Best baby photos EVAH! Dec 04 06 08:14 pm Link StMarc wrote: That's not completely true, if the child reacts enough the stress will actually kill brain cells. I'm not kidding either, of course you can loose most of them without any problems, thus the reason people can drink so much and still function, but it does damage their brain. It's just not even close enough to the amount you would need to notice Dec 04 06 08:21 pm Link Would you feel better about it if the photographer set up a blue background in a doctor's office, and photographed kids right as they were getting shots? (Don't all call your doctors at once!) Dec 04 06 08:26 pm Link you know I have kids... I could take photos like that too (although not as good lighting) and add 'em to my port. My kids cry for no reason. Dec 04 06 08:30 pm Link I think it's wonderful... and very realistic... as opposed to the sleeping baby or oh so sweet baby shots that sell items in stores... her work is very good , and really compared to most things that child will go through in its life , having candy taken away or a toy .... i mean that's really nothing.... i doubt the kids will be emotionally acarred from it...most kids cry becuse you don't stop for everything that catches their eye in a store... most adults do too... i know i do sometimes... when my boyfriend is in a rush and I just want to look or touch or smell...I mean I dont even want to buy anything and hes in a rush!!!

Dec 04 06 08:33 pm Link Personally, I think they're awesome. You can tell they've all been digitally enhanced some to appear a little more teary than they were really. It's crazy though... if you google this woman, you'll find pages and pages of people freaking out about this. Calling it child abuse, etc. They're crying over candy for god sake! People are insane. Dec 04 06 08:35 pm Link AAAGHwesumfuh- fuh- fuh aaaaggghhh whaaaaaaa fuh fuh fuh Tears, aaa awesome! Human emotion is priceless. rawk on!!!!!!!! Dec 04 06 08:37 pm Link Wow.. I must be hardwired wrong. I found the images utterly disgusting. They were overly hyper-realistic and ugly as hell. This has nothing to do with her taking candy from the kids- I couldn't care less. It's the aesthetic of the images that makes me queasy. I'd rather look at Anne Geddes' saccharine work than those things. At least they aren't quite as revolting. Dec 04 06 09:39 pm Link Some of those shots remind me of an ex when I took away her Neiman Marcus card. (about 20 years older though) lol Dec 04 06 09:41 pm Link A little cruel if that is how the crying state is achieved but the images are fantastic You can almost hear the wailing cries lol Dec 04 06 11:25 pm Link I saw this on Inside Editon or Entertainment Tonight ( same thing,lol) The parents are there, they want the images that way..and hell you know they're paying out the butt for them,so who freaking cares? She's rich from it, so go her. Dec 04 06 11:32 pm Link While I have no qualms on taking pics of crying children, I prefer the sleeping peaceful ones because that's so much rarer... Still the criticism amazes me, I swear some people just sit around poised like vultures waiting for a 'cause' to pick apart and harp on and on about... It reminds me of those people who watch disney movies frame by frame to find "dirty words" so they can sue, who has time for this? Dec 04 06 11:44 pm Link woww I love these images! its something i've never seen before in photos this photographer is awesome! esp. with the lighting! soo what if their crying if candy is used to make them cry be glad their not being spanked or anything Dec 05 06 08:43 am Link |
