ParticipantAugust 18, 2013 at 6:26 pm #12045ParticipantThis explains a lot.
“If you would like to no more information…”
Pretty sure you should know the difference between “no” and “know” if you run a “business,” just saying…

ParticipantYeah, I definitely wouldn’t hire anyone making grammar mistakes like that, even when it’s only $15 for a baby session, no matter how good they are (but in this case we don’t need to worry about the latter…
The over-used fake lens flare on this one is really starting to annoy me. Looks like they just took a soft brush, bright color and gave every other photo a click whether appropriate or not. Also what’s the point of a watermark, if you can’t tell what it says:

Participantoh lord have I found a gem (although you can find the rare semi-decent photo, they’re mostly awful and over edited)

and if you don’t have time to look through all her photos just check out these
this is one of her “ads”

another ad
and on the the sampler of poorly edited photos

ParticipantThis person (https://www.facebook.com/pages/SJ-Visuals/265280760180624) REALLY over-edits, and does it unnecessarily. Her images would actually be very good if she would just lay off the editing and stop with the gimmicks, like adding a white vignetting, selective coloring, or poor HDR attempts where the clarity was set to full 100.
Case in point:
http://sphotos-b-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/q71/s720x720/998788_586228898085807_1505590063_n.jpg
I personally know the woman on the motorcycle. She is a photographer herself (and an awesome one by the way) and the studio belongs to her. After holding a portfolio building event a couple days before, she wanted to be the model this time. I really don’t know why she picked S&J other than the fact that she attended her portfolio building event. Or maybe she knew her beforehand? I don’t know. But if I were her, I would be horrified at the results and all the unnecessary editing.Again, another potentially great shot that was ruined by selective coloring and an awful white vingetting. This is the same woman as the one on the motorcycle and she looks like a ghost with red lipstick

ParticipantHoly crap what happened to the legs of the grape/wine lady? WTF….. I do agree on the flare. I have seen it used wonderfully…but its just another LR preset to slap on and call it creative editing… even on grainy (noisey) junk.

ParticipantThis explains a lot.
Why would it cost more to shoot a maternity pic than a childs portrait? And if you think Roulette exposure is a bad name for a photo business…Baby Boudoir Photography sounds like a perverts dream.

ParticipantLOL – I thought that too WCS – talk about paedo alert!!

ParticipantAugust 19, 2013 at 2:54 pm #12076ParticipantThis girls says that she has completed ONE photography course! But then says she still has 3 more to do…
And this is her… She says she’s not bothered by the stretch marks but I keep thinking of the red weed from War of the worlds!
quite how you get a frame that distorted is beyond me.

Participantquite how you get a frame that distorted is beyond me.
I think you do that by using cheap wood that was given a final cut and plane before it was properly dried. Look at the grain! It is all over the place in that top piece of wood. I don’t think it’s a lens effect, I think the frame is warped.
August 19, 2013 at 3:56 pm #12080ParticipantWhy are the parents apparently naked??? How uncomfortable does the emo kid look?!
August 19, 2013 at 9:19 pm #12091iliketag
ParticipantWFC…. that baby picture should be a Meme… it’s hilarious. Incidentally, my first thought after how awful it was was; Hey! I have that same laundry basket!

ParticipantGot a lot of emails from here so not sure if this has been mentioned yet but this baby looks like it’s being strangled!! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=390035431098263&set=a.390027787765694.1073741881.278975442204263&type=3&theater
