Why would anyone photograph a fat person?

LOL @ DasTurrible.. thats turrible (pun intended.  There should be no reason to ‘accept idiocy’  Sure your intellect may be smaller, but the majority of it is an excuse of being mentally lazy.

Anyone consider that you might be all thinking along a different line when you consider the word ‘fat’? Over an Australian size 12 is fat to me, and a 10 is curvy. But my perception is warped by  years of self abuse so who knows.

[DasTurrible]

Definitely not accepting anyones idiocy.. and sure fat is different to others but many people do know they’re fat and have no issues with it which shows a complete lack of self control and themselves.

“Definitely not accepting anyones idiocy”  Except your own.

 

“many people do know they’re fat and have no issues with it which shows a complete lack of self control and themselves.”  What do you care?  Does that interfere with your life?  Does it somehow create a burden on you?   And, ask yourself – why is a McDonalds cheeseburger 1.00, but a salad is 3.50?  It’s not always a free choice . . . .

What is fat? I know clinical obesity can be determined, but fat?

Obvious troll not obvious enough?

 

Maybe he should’ve asked abut photographing gays or something.

Haha Vampire, someone has been watching Gabriel Iglesias – he’s a funny man!  He upped it to six levels where number 6 is “oh Hell no!”

Stellathai: I’m a size 14 so I guess I’m fat then. Sigh.

To general:  A great photographer can bring out the beauty in anyone 😉  Besides, being photogenic isn’t about size, but more about facial symmetry, having interesting features, and being able to relax in front of the camera, rather than stiffening up and looking all unnatural and freaked out. I’d rather shoot a larger person who is comfortable and happy with who they are, than a slimmer person who has endless body issues and hates every photo that he or she is in. That’s so annoying!

NightRose: It’s fine. I’m not thin myself, I’m an AUS 12 usually. But that’s the thing, I would never judge anybody based on their weight and say that just because they are a certain size that they can’t be beautiful. That’s because I know that self perception is warped, my idea of big is not big to someone else. Two people can be the same size but have different health level depending on their life style and natural body type and genetic. Every one can be and will be beautiful, as a photographer, your job is to see that and capture it. While I know I have my ideas of size, I also know that I have issues with numbers (even and odd) and can be a very exacting person which is very damaging. I found that, in trying to let go of all of that, it just made me happier and my work better. Darn it. I may not have made any sense.

Yeah, it’s not even fun when they’re this stupid.

@ jasonjared:  Oh, it is most obvious that trolling is occuring, I for one have been deliberately ignoring it and, rather than verbally abuse you (which for some reason you seem to revel in, leading me to wonder if perhaps you are a fan of 50 Shades of Grey), I have been putting forth my opinions in a manner that they can hopefully garner a few thoughtful responses from other users. I shall be on my way now, good day to you sir! *Haughty sniff*.

Well I saw the thread title and suspected trollery, and I read the replies and tried to compose my own higher-road response, but others before me summed it up pretty well…so I’ll take that low road ‘kay?

They’re not fat, Your mind is just too narrow.

[dicksforeyes]

Seriously though, fatties are revolting.

[manicpixie]

Fat people turn me into a fauxtographer by insisting I make them unrecognizably thinner.

@spike oh I’m pretty sure fat people are still fat no matter how open minded you are
