    I can’t even elaborate comments on those photographers as I suck as much or worse than them 🙂

    Is there anyone willing to contact that A.P.E. guy? I am honestly curious if he has any current work to show. All of his stuff is so outdated, I’m interested to see what he’s doing now. I would never book anyone without having current examples and I can’t seem to find anything on his site. I mean, even that blockbuster picture. That’s gotta be super early 2000’s at latest!

    Uh…no. Nice fake water ripples. I hope this couple hired a real photographer for their wedding because otherwise it was as good as ruined.

    @iliketag…it seems like he spends more time marketing his services than updating his portfolio. He posted a very vague video on both YouTube and Vimeo back in 2012.

    His Blockbuster “portrait” was hilarious!

    I don’t think Cieara is a fauxtographer, and not just because you’ve all finally hit on one I (kinda) know lol.  We all make mistakes and she’s got some but largely I think she does very nice work.

    I came across this in the free ads (UK) just now and had to share it.   Check out the testimonial from Kelly, made me cringe!

    ha… ha ha ha… brightened your day… because the website is a neon assault on the eyes… awesome. 🙂

    For real though. Awful! That site is not only ugly and looks like something built with Geocities in the 90’s, but none of the photos actually smoothed themselves out for me, so it’s like they were still compressed. “Portable Studio” = hanging a “backdrop” in front of a window apparently… why not a solid wall? Why on earth would you hang it in front of a window and have half of it backlit?!

    Why do people fork over money for crap?
    I seriously do not understand, like with so many fauxtogs posted in this thread, why people think this is good.
    It’s one thing for a family friend or relative to do family photos or even something like senior pictures… but a modeling portfolio? If you were serious about it wouldn’t you want to hire someone with quality? You have to sell yourself with these shots and if they’re not good enough you’re basically shooting yourself in the foot.

    @iliketag    I thought it was just me with those compression issues, god knows how they managed that. I whole heartedly agree with you about paying money for nothing!

    My lord, that foliofotos site is straight out of the 90s. It’s awful from top to bottom and the photos are dog rough. The model feedback is clearly written by the same person. I think the photos may be stolen too, the ‘skill’ range is very different from photo to photo.
