Photography Available

[silksmooth]

I am a photographic ninja, and I can make you look like a million dollars. I see a lot of you ladies out there with self held cell phone shots or shots that someone else took that aren't as flattering as they could be.

I take magazine quality photography. I do headshots for professional actors and photos for magazine editorials. You will not be disappointed.

PM me or text (best) me to discuss rates and packages.

Oh, PS. Those references in my signature are not photography references. Those are my normal hobbiest references. Sorry if there's any confusion. I can provide samples upon request. My actual photography will rock much harder

i think photographers posting about what a badass they are with a camera...but posting no samples...is about as effective as a hooker claiming to be the hottest thing since the atom bomb...with no showcase.

LOL.....Yup!

Sounds interesting, too bad I'm not in Dallas

I feel your pain on no samples. Problem is that I would want to keep my work discrete considering that my pictures would immediately be recognized as being mine, effectively outting me and identifying me in a place I don't want to be publicly identified. I don't mind PM samples to anyone seriously interested though.

Every photographer on this site has a style their own but to be so secretive about your work throws up huge red flags. There are very successful pros on this site with magazines and more in their credits and they advertise with their work. Ladies beware of anyone claiming to be something or have experience.in something with no proof. One more point is that headshots and showcase shoots are totally different so make sure you work with someone who understands the differences.

of all the possible reasons for not doing it....

this is certainly one of them.

Naysay all you want. But someone is about to get their faces rocked off. We'll let the results speak for themselves...

Come on fellow photographers. Since when do we try to tear each other down??

[poppy71]

It's not naysaying or tearing down but there are a shit ton of fakes that try and take af advantage of the girls and they love saying they are photographers and never post work examples.

i'm not naysaying, i'm calling it like it is. there are a number of photographers who's work i can identify on sight...mcnally, mcurry, cudby, cartier-bresson, nachtwey...and i'm certain you're not that kind of "photographer". why? because if your work was recognizable to the average eccie viewer, you wouldn't need to advertise for work here.

besides, if someone was going to out you, they wouldn't need to look at your pictures.

they'd just google the phone number in your sig line...

I'm just trying to keep my public persona and my eccie persona as separate as possible. I'm sure there are idiots everywhere that try to take advantage of people. But like I said in the op, I'm perfectly willing to PM samples, to relieve any doubt about my ability to wield a camera. I shoot raw

II bet I'm the only kid on the block that can shoot tack sharp at 200mm and 1/20th of a second:-) handheld!

[poppy71]

Roflmao wow this is priceless....ok so you know some terms but the work will always.speak for itself. Before you get too headstrong you may.want to look at the work of john, ddbd photography, jose, and a few others here. Terms mean nothing, these guys are accomplished professionals and have stellar.reputations on top of having big name credits to their names. The new kid on the block would be derotica, another published pro with a distinct style. That is your bar by which the providers will measure your skills...not a bunch of terms and btw I shot college and NFL and handheld a 300 2.8 and shot tack sharp and yes that is a beast of a lens.

well, there you go.

anybody who would put themselves in a position to have to do that is not a professional.

[silksmooth]

You're right, I should measure myself against other photographers. Why have I not been doing that all this time? I'm sure Ansel Adams and Zack Arias and Picasso and Kubrick and name your artist were all desperately running around comparing their art to other people.

I don't know what kind of "professionals" you guys hang around, but in my circles we don't sit around and try to tear each other down like middle school girls. We help each other and go out of our way to learn from and teach each other. I personally take students with me and teach them the ropes for free so they can build their portfolios and learn something. This is seriously what you two are about? Tearing people down? Calling into question everyone's credibility? Demanding that we measure ourselves against each other? Insecure much?

Dick measuring contests are not what art is about, but since that seems to be what you're about, I will kindly invite you to no longer comment on this thread.

To all others, any requests to see my previous work will be honored through PM. Thanks!
