I apologize anon.

I was under the obvious mistaken impression that you might be a professional buyer for websites, maybe an ad consultant, media/art director, or anything else that didn’t include a stay at home mom only looking to get shots of the kids. And I wondered what that calibre of buyer would have to say. I listened to Doc and won’t make that mistake again (I hope).

I do, however, admire that you are here and have a good eye for what you want.

Thank you for responding to my question anonymoususer.

Not a problem. Usually my input isn’t asked for lol so I figured I would answer. As a stay at home mom pretty much the only adult contact I get every day is through the internet and when days are filled with a screaming baby sometimes you hit the brink of your sanity, lose your mind and some times use potty words. Most of the time people think bad language=uneducated and that is a perfectly fine thought though in this case pretty untrue. I am sure I make several grammatical errors but, don’t we all? I mean this is the internet right?

Are you at liberty or have the desire to say what you do, what kind of photography you require (portrait, product, wedding, etc.) what you look for, whether you work with photographers directly and on site creatively. And if so what qualities do you look for in a photographer and their photography. Your typical end use. What you require in a contract as far as licensing, etc. And maybe even some success/failure annecdotes?

What kind of photography do I require? This one is easy mostly just family photos and photos of my son that I have taken as often as a good opportunity presents itself with someone who meets my standards. I actually have several photographer friends some of which are very skilled others of which who may at some time be featured on this page but, I have learned through their photographs as well as some that I have had taken myself that you can not always go for the “cheaper” deal because it can cost you a precious moment. As far as things I look for in signs that the photography is not up to par I look for things to be in focus, no dutch angles, not too much exposure or too little exposure, I look to see if indoor pics are too grainy, I know a lot of photographers are huge fans of vignette but I absolutely hate it, I look at the tones and colors of things to see if they feel right, and I hate selective coloring. Over all I just go by the feel of the picture. What I require in a licensing agreement is basically printing rights I don’t want the copyright I would still like them to be able to use it for advertising their business or showing the quality of work of their business even if it is not good work. When I post the finished product on my profile on facebook I make sure to tag the original photographer for 2 reasons one because I want people to know who took the picture and two if the work is not up to my standards I do not want someone else to be ripped off. I have found one photographer in my area that I like and a few that make me feel like I was ripped off but, at the end of the day we live, we learn, and then we do more research. As far as what I do I am a stay at home mom of a beautiful baby boy other than that I just support my husband and make sure the house is clean and dinner is on the table when he gets home

I hate selective coloring lol it was cute the first time I saw it but then it just got annoying I agree with your opinion there. I also do not know how anyone agrees to put their child in an unsafe place for the sake of a photo. The pumpkin I am gonna have to disagree on lol for some reason I like the idea behind the pumpkin photos although I know my son would hate being put in a pumpkin.

am I the only one who thinks that is way too much white vignette? makes me wonder what they screwed up on that they are trying to cover up. I also thought she was plucking her eyebrows but now I am not sure and keep trying to figure out what she is doing lol

[anonymoususer]

she has a fowl mouth in the groups advertising her work as well. I have noticed that even in a professional light I have found curse words in her posts

Another photographer who ruins his images with portrait Pro. Why would anyone think this looks god?

because plastic looking people are in this year didn’t ya hear? seriously creepy when people look plastic

[anonymoususer]

I knew the pics looked a little weird cameraclicker but I couldnt honestly figure out what was wrong with them as I am not a photographer lol maybe you can tell me why I don’t like this one either everyone else seems to love her work and I am all like ummm not really https://www.facebook.com/ChristinaLeeChildsPhotography

as a customer myself I would have to say there is a lot of shitty work out there being considered good because facebook is running rampant with that so people may look at a photo and think it looks good because 10 other fauxgraphers have just about the same image on their page. I am having the problem of finding a photographer right now who doesn’t do the stupid vignette shit and also doesn’t use sepia and black and white to try and distract from a shitty image. I think the worse part is when they take pictures that I could get the same result with my cell phone and a stupid filter app. Heck I even had one fauxtographer tell me when I asked what kind of camera they use that she was using her iphone 5. really people? I am willing to pay the price for good quality but seriously $150 for iphone images come on now. end of short rant lol

[anonymoususer]

The only thing I can see that I absolutely hate is the dutch angle it is in a lot of your pictures. I am not a photographer I am a customer so I can’t really see anything else wrong with your images but I hope this helps.
