Sounds more like you have an ax to grind against her. Looks good to me.

ParticipantYeah besides some slight exposure issues in some of the faces, she’s got some very nice work. Definitely not a fauxtog. I think people need to be a bit more discretionary when linking ppages here, there’s the really obvious fauxtogs that anybody can see they suck and don’t know what they’re doing, and then there are some that maybe have a handful of not-so-great pphotos but are really good otherwise. Makes me wonder if some of you have personal vendettas against local “competition,” and if they’re at all competing with your skill, maybe time to learn photography yourself?

ParticipantNope, I
hatedislike her.Grey babies
She does have alot of decent photos tho.. but the grey baby out & of focus shit and then the select color.. i dunno..
February 16, 2013 at 12:55 pm #6686Participant@ajay, when I looked at that “competition” album, I believe those were families’ submissions to win a free photo shoot or something, since many of the photos in that album are not professional. I’ve seen several photographers run sorts of contests like that and I think it’s a really bad idea because people DO often confuse the images for their own. If I did that, I would put a huge watermark on the photos that said “Not my image, used for competition entry only.”

ParticipantWell, it has been said that you are judged by the worst photo in your gallery… This thread would seem to confirm that.
Amy has a bricks & mortar store and most of what I saw in the gallery looked pretty reasonable. I didn’t see anything screaming it belonged on the front page here. Selective colour and the “yellow low contrast” look are not appealing to me but many others seem to like those looks so I will say it’s not my thing and leave it at that.
People live in different sized fish bowls, if you won a contest at the local fair and got your photos into the local newspaper, then you won a contest and were published. You may get run over if you enter the same photos in a contest in New York, but that’s not relevant to her claim.

Participantall of her photos seem pretty bad, but this just stood out to me

ParticipantIs it me, or does it seem as if the size and intricacy of the watermark is inversely proportional to the quality of the photo? I don’t think I’ve every seen a great photo with one of those frilly flowery watermarks.
February 16, 2013 at 9:55 pm #6705ParticipantLol “FB killed the quality of this photo but it was one of my faves!” Yeah, no, Facebook didn’t severely underexpose that photo to the point where you couldn’t even see their faces…
@Gerbles, agreed, the really overdone watermarks are horrible. I think it goes along with the territory that a fauxtog doesn’t have a concept of art or graphic design as to what actually flows and looks good. Most real photogs go into it because they are artistically-inclined which seems to relate several forms of art.February 16, 2013 at 10:05 pm #6706ParticipantClassy, and flattering! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=418954171491002&set=a.414428548610231.108648.313548472031573&type=3&theater
Cute older couple but horrible photo, and really tasteless having him shirtless! (looks more like a snapshot from a family camping trip) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=390535387666214&set=a.390535347666218.102083.313548472031573&type=3&theater
Supposed to be in a modeling portfolio. This one would have made the trash immediately, she has such an awkward pose and facial expression, it’s not in sharp focus, and then she went and over-softened her face. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=395682667151486&set=a.394182590634827.102983.313548472031573&type=3&theater

ParticipantI can’t even pick one from this guy. His prices are insane, he has mini sessions that are $5! And practically every picture he takes is blurry, ill composed and even worse editing. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tyf-Photography/176760879036856

Wow, incredible use of filters to cover up hideous work that in turn makes it even more gruesome..
I wonder why these people even use watermarks… No ones going to steal this shit and call it their own

ParticipantSo many bad ones to choose from…
