Unless you're photographing the Bennigan's waitstaff, I think you mean flare.

Bring it on kids... Remember. I've seen your 'work'

No worries here... You really don't think your "observations" hold any water with me do you? Cute stuff... Keep it coming...


You haven't seen my work, well not much of it - not unless you burgled my house!

My observations were honest. Your styling needs major work if you are to improve. If that is hard for you to take, then I'm sorry. But my observations remain and I stand by what I wrote earlier.

Maybe you should consider working with a decent stylist.

Doesn't say bling to me either. In general, all the lighting is flat.

Well, since you're not interested in our advice, no doubt because we don't reach your incredible standard, I suggest you take your own advice.

Here's what you wrote in Miker Reid's thread. I think you should read what you wrote very carefully as it applies more to your shots than to Miker's.

Dude,, I'm not going to stroke your ego for you. Get a pet to do that.

The images are BAD. Nut'n wrong with that. Just do it over, with some of the suggestions that have been handed to you via the thread.

If you can't see that they're bad, then you really need to step back 10 steps, and re-evaluate, and start from that point...

I don't care how far you hiked for the shots.. You could have shot them in your back yard, and it wouldn't have made any difference.

Geeeeeeee

Pretty girl! I like #2 Would be a nice senior shot.
If the title 'Bling' refers to fashion (like #4) I think the light and poses are a little off.

To be honest, after reading your critiques all the time I was surprised these photo's are yours. If I would follow your advice, my shots would be worse

Lee, it "IS" a senior shot... Most didn't get it.. The title was a bit much for them.

Yes, I was working with a photographer, to demonstrate vision, control of lighting, bla, bla, bla... She will get these as part of her senior work that was shot earlier in the week.

She's 17

Bwhahaha. That's fantastically funny and made me think of Office Space, one of my all-time favorite movies.

my fav's #2

but damn, thats ALOT of setup for that shot in #1, couldnt you achieve the same thing with 3 lights? 1 background, 1 hair, 1 in large 40' softbox camera left infront of model?

haha my initial reaction of the title "bling" when i came in the thread was he must be refering to the amount of lights that was used in that 1st shot
