Reading mode: Light Dark

Nude photos of myself

Go to last post
was taking a class on street photography where i was forced to so into a neighborhood in brooklyn where i stuck out like a sore thumb (fat middleaged white guy in a neighborhood of dominicans, puerto ricans, chinese, etc...) and then roundly abused for coming back with the initial smile pix. i learned in that class that boredom is an essential part of people work - hanging out, hanging out, hanging out CLICK hanging out... after awhile, people knew who i was, and i got completely different images than the other people who were shooting in the same neighborhood. i got to see them seeing me.

being assertive during some formal sessions will speed up how fast they ignore you afterwards. you're a great shooter, and a nutcase (I only admire nutcases), both of which should produce more extreme images given time to let the stew ferment. they'll even get a better "heavy metal scowl" image that way. (and if you want the real metal cliche, get down on the floor and shoot up at them, use the flash to light them from below...be a crash victim on your back and shoot them checking to see if you're OK...or making sure you're not...)

and i know it's not rock and roll photography, but check out lauren greenfield's web site to see great examples of using flash indoors and out to create a mood. i've studied her stuff for hours.

wow...
thank you for this...I am definitely printing this thread out and
reading...and as you said practice makes perfect...

i can tell you since I showed them some samples..I've been chatting
with them on a more regular basis...getting to know them better...i
thought they were comfortable with me shooting them...i will say
they were a little out of control as i had another girl there with
me..trying to make jokes and such...taking the attention away from
me shooting...but then in turn she took photos...perhaps that
wasn't a good idea...

you are right about control...i did let them do whatever they
wanted...i'll be more tough next time..i only remember telling the
singer one time to lower his chin for a shot...i wasn't really
bossy...in making them pose...perhaps i need to get better and
tougher with that...

i will check out your site more i hope the next one's turn out
better!!
thank you

Make pictures, don't take them - it leaves more for others.

I can't seem to find the photo's of you just a bunch of musicians...all very gritty moody stuff, but nothing of you that I can see. Can you please point me in the right direction?

Hmmm, was that really you that was the belly dancer? ;)

I always look at everyone's stuff when I have time to surf. But honestly I don't always post a reply because, um, not sure. I'll try to provide more feedback, please keep posting!

the most replies...

be it they are bad photos or good, flattering or not...tons of
feedback..i mainly post band photos (and a huge thank you to those
of you that reply and give me feedback) but for the most part I
don't get a lot of feedback and it's just frustrating...

What's a girl to do? Add a photo of myself from the one and only
Sports Illustrated shot i did when i was 18

Maybe it's time to ask yourself why you care so much about the opinions of a bunch of strangers, with WILDLY varying degrees of photographic ability and experience.

Are you shooting for yourself or are you shooting for virtual "pats on the back"?

no no..i am not looking for complements (although it's great of course to get them)..i am trying to get better and it's with feedback that points me in the right direction and makes me see things under a different light that help..there a lot of pros and amateurs too that can contribute and shed light, that's all.

Good photo - nicer subject. At least I'll know one person to look for in January. I think we have several signed up. Nikon told me seating for like 250,, usually fills up in last two weeks. I plan on bringing my camera anyway since a 150 drive one way would be a waste not too.

Well I don't know about the rest of you but I for one am VERY concerned about this obviously attractive young lady's false advertising. Personally I see this type of offense as egregious!! If I don't see her naked soon I'm alerting Phil to this serious problem and having her banned!!!!

I have a feeling she might get better photos of those boring looking bands, if she got nude for them, not for us.

1. Girl throw away that on camera flash, it makes you look like an amateur shooting from the audience.

2. Take those loosers (all musicians are) into a toxic trash dump or something else appropriate and create some art.

3. Take a look at some album cover (and Rolling Stones Covers) and see what the big boys are doing.

4. The reason most pros take musicians into the studio or some other controled environment is so they can get them high on whatever they prefer, and in that way get their co-operation.

5. I once worked on an album cover that took a period of three months with shoots in both LA and New York, in studios, roof tops, abandoned streets and hotel rooms, with countless meetings with record company execs and chasing stoned out musicians around for weeks on end. (no I won't tell you who) It is hard work, you can't just show up for a session or a rehearsal and expect instant results.

6. Yes with your looks you will go far if you work at it. And get someone to buy you a decent Norman or Dynalite strobe outfit, some outrageously expensive lenses, and learn to crawl on the floor and climb the rafters, to get the right angle.

I have followed some of your previous posts so this is a critique of your work not this post .

Have you considered photosig (www.photosig.com), where the site
is set up for getting constructive feedback? There are other sites
as well. For Photosig, if you do not pay for membership you need to
earn points to post photos by providing comments on the photos of
others. I got some good comments on the photos I posted.

Maybe it's time to ask yourself why you care so much about the
opinions of a bunch of strangers, with WILDLY varying degrees of
photographic ability and experience.

Are you shooting for yourself or are you shooting for virtual "pats
on the back"?
