ParticipantRegarding Recession Photography: Horrible name. This screams “budget photography” to me. Her “groupings” thing makes no sense, and she misspelled “platinum” in her senior package pricing.
I didn’t see anything that screamed fauxtographer though. Her photos are just “meh” and pricing is kind of in line with it. I wouldn’t pay her but I wouldn’t quite lump her in with the fauxtogs either. I didn’t look too far though, maybe I missed something really bad on her website.
December 30, 2014 at 6:46 am #23558ParticipantI will say Recession Photography is much much better at editing her photos then Cochran Images this guy screams Fauxtographer.

ParticipantNothing quite as sexy as an old pair of knickers and some worn out shoes
Why do faux’s always post pics of their props?
Copyright infringement anyone?
How come the cake hasn’t slipped of the table?
December 30, 2014 at 7:46 pm #23571ParticipantJust searched the most cliché name in photography and found this gem. She’s got it all!

ParticipantToday I leave you to ponder the horror that is Traci Brock Photography.
Grainy box of joy:

ParticipantDid a search and didn’t find a trace of this girl here… I feel a bit bad due to her age, but her attitude warrants posting:

Participant@Anonymoose…I wish I wish I wish FB would start charging people who use it for their “business”. I’m so sick of seeing people posting pics of their vacation
along side of weddings and so forth. Please be professional and separate your personal life from your business. You hear that FB? Think of the trillions of bucks you can make by actually charging those who use it for business purposes (for which it was never intended). Businesses pay to advertise, why can’t FB charge for “pro photographers” to use it for their “website”? It may weed out some of the less professional ones out there. In any case, pics of sleeping seals doesn’t encourage me to hire you for my wedding. I don’t want to meet the people for whom it does.
Don’t take this as the harsh criticism that it seems Aleah, take it as advice to look more like someone who does business. There is nothing wrong with being friendly and approachable but a little more separation between personal and business would be good. If you feel the need to include something other than past paid gigs, how about shooting some friends and family for fun in locations that are suitable and gives suggestions to those who want to pay for photos. Go to a park and shoot a day “what a great spot for engagements/family shots/wedding formals”.

ParticipantAleah’s “About” section says:
“I consider myself a photographer in training.
Have a passion for taking great photos and enjoy getting out there to find beautiful things to photograph.
Hopefully you like the outcome as much as I like the thrill of the hunt.”So, while the title of the FB page is “Aleah Leigh Photography”, and while most of the photos seem to be watermarked (FB is one of the few places where a water mark is an excellent idea), it is probable her FB page is not a professional venture.
January 10, 2015 at 1:24 pm #23735ParticipantGot it. Thrown by https://www.facebook.com/123098577771549/photos/a.717610651653669.1073741862.123098577771549/717610618320339/?type=1&theater Probably just riding on Jessica’s tail.
I noticed the “in training”. I’m still not a fan of mixing personal and business (whether in business today or working towards it) like her friend Jessica is also doing.

Participanturkiddingright, that wedding day stop sign is the greatest bad photo. I think that is the photographer subconsciously telling them not to get married.
January 13, 2015 at 8:13 pm #23892ParticipantHere is your typical, “post photos in large photography group asking for CC, get good CC, get angry, delete post” fauxtographer. If she just said she was a beginner and learning, I’d have sympathy. But I searched for her page and found it, along with her saying she’ll do a session for $45 when other photographers charge $500. She doesn’t know the most basic things about lighting.

This gem. Can you find anything RIGHT about it?
