Fauxtogs who should end up on the main page…

Is anyone else embarrassed by local faux’s?

why is it that faux’s like to pose their subjects in unnatural ways with walls?

In one of my photography groups, a member got her photography facebook page shutdown by a competitor.  So I looked at the competitors page and found a bunch of snapshots with multiple photoshop filters applied to the same photo. Maybe not horrible enough to wind up on front page, but this chick is definitely a fauxtog.

How in the world did she get her competitor removed?

My local tog isn’t a faux at least but he is one of these really uninspiring photographers who haven’t moved on from the film days. Most of what he shoots is at f14 with a nikon d300s so nothing is really sharp. The website is an utter mess but his photos are pretty decent at least although somewhat 80’s

I don’t get the eyeliner thing at all

It looks like he drew the eyeliner with a Sharpee marker.

I know I said I’d never contribute to this thread for various reasons, but… I can’t stand it anymore.  You all have shared such craptastic wonderfulness!  This is one of my very favorite fauxtographer websites EVER!  It brings me joy, and I’d like to share the happiness with you (WARNING: it has music!  Of course! right?)

oh and here’s an awesome business review http://www.zoomvillage.com/newsStory.cfm/6861/Business-Review-TS-Photography

IHF, I think you are being very mean and rude to her amazing photography skills, not to mention amazing piknik skills. After all nothing screams pro like using a rebel with a kit lens and a free website with lots of music I’m certain she hasn’t licensed. I’d never considered a pink vignette before, but I will probably use it much more now after seeing her use it to such good effect.

Whole wedding: $1000.

Engagement shoot, 1 photographer, 1 hour: $100

Anniversary, 2 photographers, 1 hour: $75

Hummmmm…..  Math trouble?

lol her site is full of gems! Confession: I’ve been following her Facebook for over 3 years after a “how to” (or maybe it was just an ad) video of hers was featured on YANAP. She’s slowed down now, but it was great fun seeing what she’d come up with next.
She’s still “in business” if you want to take advantage. Tip: tell her it’s your anniversary 😉

The JML photo with the makeup-wearing baby was done in post, maybe MS Paint? Look closely at the baby’s eyes and notice how the makeup is ON THE BABY’S EYEBALLS.

The TS review is probably from a relative, cut and past from an email she sent. I clicked on the authors name and he hasn’t had many articles on that local site since this one.

Seth,

She got her competition removed by flagging all of her competitors photos claiming they where pictures of someone elses kids, which they where cause that’s what she shoots. And they shut down her page.
