MendParticipant
https://www.facebook.com/Ricky1146/posts/605605930023 oh no. he’s watching us lol
MendParticipantYou should be able to edit twice….i think i might of read the status wrong…so the person might not be family…..
MendParticipantI found a page i’d so share in a heartbeat. I’m not going to because i found it through my family being tagged in the pictures. The pictures were for my cousin’s memorial service. I went to the service and saw the photographer and in a bitter sweet thought, i hoped i got to see the pictures for the sake of seeing how good the photographer was. The service was very nice, it was a military service because my cousin was in the army. I thought it was great they wanted to have it pictured, i had thought about taking my own pictures, i only took like one picture and that was of the family(and even that picture not being the greatest was better than this photographer’s)
Out of respect of my family and not wanting them to find out i shared the photographer or have them think that any comments related to the photography being about my family in the memorial pictures.
So once i saw the pictures online(very first thought was, i wonder if i’m int he background of any of them lol), my heart just sunk. the pictures were blurry, bad angles, bad editing, over exposed, even selective coloring….The daughter of the photographer commented on one of the pictures and said that she did a great job at it…in that picture, i couldn’t see where the focus int he picture was, like everything was blurry, the tree to the left side of the picture might of been in focus, but like none of the people were.
I remember watching her move around to take the pictures, looked like she had a good camera, but didn’t look like she had anything more than the one body and one lens with her.Now for her other stuff.
Looking further into them, she’s done other family pictures of my family(this is extended family). But everything i said that was wrong with the memorial pictures, are what is wrong with the rest of their pictures….
Makes me sad that my extended family has bad taste in photography….
Found her prices, i don’t even fully understand how she has it written out, but i did see this “All my prices are negotiable. Nothing is ever set in stone. I’m willing to work with each client towards what they envision within their budget! Contact me to schedule an appointment.”
Edit: aww crap….sounds like it’s a family member that took the pictures…. i still stand that it’s crap pictures, and my mom’s side of the family is so big that i don’t know even know the person who took the picture, but one of the family members i do know made a status on facebook about it being her grand daughter or something…
MendParticipantcame across this…he thinks he is getting popular
MendParticipantfor the editing. he asks the girls if he can edit the pictures, pretty much when comes across a pretty girl, he asks to edit their pictures.
as to why they agree, no idea. i’ve offered edits to those who wanted me to edit their pictures….but my edits aren’t hideous like that. i don’t make them orange
MendParticipantwas checking out cain again, i found this of his
http://www.pixoto.com/ricky1146#null
i’m checking out the site to see what it’s about but what caught my attention is that the pictures of the girl, he didn’t take the pictures, he just very badly edited the pictures. He probably didn’t even ask the girl if he could post them there. but either way, he didn’t take the pictures so he shouldn’t be posting them to there as photography.
MendParticipant@pic What do you mean?
@jliu i saw that post. what got me to notice his stuff was because he was in a group for “models” to get advice on bettering their modeling and he’d pop in and talk about how someone looked good while also giving crap photography advice and it was freaking the girls out because he’d comment on under 18 girl’s pictures. If he’s trying to be a professional photographer, then if they are under 18 then he should be having their parents contact him instead. and he made the comment that they “lucked out” with him…..i find him creepy as hell and wouldn’t trust him taking my picture, not that i’d want him toMendParticipantthis girl isn’t charging yet, but i saw her make a comment about wanting to charge soon. I do give props for her saying she wants to do a few more photoshoots before starting, but i think she’s got some ways to go before she should start charging. I think she is just wanting to charge because she’s a stay at home mother, so would help get her money.

MendParticipantRicky Thomas Cain For an HDR shot its great. I would know I deal with HDR a lot
just because you can use a program that claims to make it HDR, doesn’t mean you know what the hell you are doing. ugh he annoys the hell out of me. though i do keep checking back at his stuff because it makes me feel better about my pictures lol. i’m no where near good enough to charge, but at least my stuff is better than his. I’ve had my phases of bad editing, even a “fake HDR” phase. but even my fake one was better than his. but i try new things and learn how to edit better, not worse like him.
MendParticipant@thomas
what comment? there’s no comment on that picture. so i’m curious what you said
MendParticipantwas looking through Cain’s recent stuff….. i’d be scared of his cover picture for this photography page. it’s not even his picture, it’s one of a teenage girl he edited, he didn’t take the picture. i don’t even know if she knows she’s the cover of his page. Someone had commented saying that his pictures were too dark. It showed the comment was made through mobile, so then cain comes back and replies with pretty much saying that it’s the person’s phone’s fault the pictures are dark…..ha, yeah right.
looking through his actual profile. He said “Denied by Model Mayhem Accepted by One Model Place” and i’ll assume he’s applying as a photographer….so at least MM is smart enough to not let him get accepted lol. I’ve never heard of the other one. oh and looking farther into his posts, before that last one, he made this comment “Well I got denied again to Model Mayhem I re edited my description. I dunno why I would get denied. I have 4 models & an ok description” …..hmmm…maybe your photos suck!
He also posted this… his “new photography style”…..someone needs to stop him..
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=590227254013&set=a.530102714073.2018683.132201310&type=1&relevant_count=1MendParticipantlol i’m the one who posted cain, but since i haven’t said anything directly too him since i first saw his stuff, doubtful he even knows it’s me that did it
MendParticipantprops for even trying to give cain advice.
he gave me that whole “creative differences” thing too. i haven’t tried saying too much to him because i didn’t want to lose any IQ points from him. but i told him “oh i know we have a creative difference” i just didn’t want to seem cocky and say that it’s because i knew i was better than him and i’m not a professional.4
he very strongly is the “just because you have a camera, doesn’t make you a photographer”….and i think same goes for “just because you have an editing program, doesn’t make you good at editing”
MendParticipantthe guy put his logo on them because it’s his edits….stupid either way.
i sometimes offer fun edits for people, part of me wants to put a logo on it so they know who edited it, but it’s not my picture so i don’t.
MendParticipantnothing was really said about this guy that i posted, looked like only one person made any comment, so i’m at least going to write my own thing about his stuff.
first off, i found his stuff from his boasting about being a photographer in a facebook group that is for people who want to “sitemodel” to get advice on their pictures to better their modeling. completely different story about that group. but the group has a lot of underage girls in it and he’ll make comments about their looks, whether he realizes their ages or not, the guy is 27. He would try and talk a big talk about photography skills and techniques but mostly just talked like he was talking down to everyone who didn’t think his “advice” was corrected. he talked about how he likes when photos are over exposed and says he’s an HDR photographer but everything still just looks crap.
he also wrote this little blip
” I know how this sounds but I agree with some of thisbeing a photographer. I don’t think over edits are bad unless it makes you look way to alien. I say this because I am an HDR photographer. If you were to look through Cainsphotography I always tend to go for that color punch. I don’t think partial B&W is bad since it directs the eyes to color objects. Though I will say every lady in here is lovely in her own way. I just wish there was more gals like these girls in Monroe, MIchigan. Since gals here are too shy as if they hate any current photo of themselves being taken. I shoot with a Canon T3 btw”Now for the examples
I don’t even think this is slightly decent for a snapshot…why would you post this to your “professional” photography page?

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.202917749834850.42570.175746772551948&type=3these are alright just for a snapshot to document what they are doing. but there’s nothing “photography” about these
https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.217799251680033.48271.175746772551948&type=3

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.245970452196246.57327.175746772551948&type=3he does tell you that they aren’t his pictures. but why would you still upload them to your page? credited or not.

she’s got like only an eye on half her face

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=336316616494962&set=a.299335460193078.67705.175746772551948&type=3&src=https%3A%2F%2Ffbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net%2Fhphotos-ak-frc1%2F229603_336316616494962_2104283035_n.jpg&size=960%2C653to summarize.
his pictures look like just snapshots that an average person would take. uploads too many pictures that aren’t worth sharing. his edits are horrible.i’ve found no actual pricing, but he’s got the page marked as “$50+” for price.
his pictures just piss me off that he tries to come off as this super hot shot photographer
