Mendnothing was really said about this guy that i posted, looked like only one person made any comment, so i’m at least going to write my own thing about his stuff.
first off, i found his stuff from his boasting about being a photographer in a facebook group that is for people who want to “sitemodel” to get advice on their pictures to better their modeling. completely different story about that group. but the group has a lot of underage girls in it and he’ll make comments about their looks, whether he realizes their ages or not, the guy is 27. He would try and talk a big talk about photography skills and techniques but mostly just talked like he was talking down to everyone who didn’t think his “advice” was corrected. he talked about how he likes when photos are over exposed and says he’s an HDR photographer but everything still just looks crap.
he also wrote this little blip
” I know how this sounds but I agree with some of thisbeing a photographer. I don’t think over edits are bad unless it makes you look way to alien. I say this because I am an HDR photographer. If you were to look through Cainsphotography I always tend to go for that color punch. I don’t think partial B&W is bad since it directs the eyes to color objects. Though I will say every lady in here is lovely in her own way. I just wish there was more gals like these girls in Monroe, MIchigan. Since gals here are too shy as if they hate any current photo of themselves being taken. I shoot with a Canon T3 btw”
Now for the examples
I don’t even think this is slightly decent for a snapshot…why would you post this to your “professional” photography page?

looks like he’s had his camera he currently uses for less than a year.

these are alright just for a snapshot to document what they are doing. but there’s nothing “photography” about these

he does tell you that they aren’t his pictures. but why would you still upload them to your page? credited or not.

he says editing is fine as long as the people don’t look like aliens….umm..i think this picture shows just that…gotta love the pixeled colors by her shoulder

to summarize.
his pictures look like just snapshots that an average person would take. uploads too many pictures that aren’t worth sharing. his edits are horrible.
i’ve found no actual pricing, but he’s got the page marked as “$50+” for price.
his pictures just piss me off that he tries to come off as this super hot shot photographer
