ParticipantI’m orginally from Ohio, but being military we’ve been to Upstate NY ( watertown) and currently in Fairbanks Alaska. Heading to Oklahoma next!
My aunt lives in Watertown! Small world 🙂
Chicago (Oswego) IL
ParticipantIt’s also very difficult to explain art in general to most people. I get a lot of “omg how do you do that!?” when someone see’s my artwork. Answer: I haven’t the foggiest, lol.
Thanks again for your input, and if anyone else wants to chime in with feedback, feel free. I’m always wearing my big girl pants and it’s very hard to offend me. 😉
ParticipantIHF, thank you so much for your critique! I appreciate you taking the time to give me such an in depth review. Concert photography is definitely what I do best, I think. It is the reason why I bought my first DSLR in the first place (a Canon Rebel XS). I like nature/landscape photography, but I know I need more practice learning how to see things from an interesting angle that most people wouldn’t see a certain scene from.
As far as portrait photography, I know I have a long way to go with that. What I liked most about your critique was how you compared my artwork to portrait photography. That definitely clicked with me and you got your point across very well. You’re right about the photo of the redhead with the jacket, I would leave the jacket out if I were drawing her. Great way to look at things! Flash/studio lighting is my weakest point, I believe. I don’t know that much about it and at the point I took the photos of the redhead, I had literally JUST gotten my first hot shoe flash and was eager to try it out. Not making excuses, I do agree that the photos are rather flat and lack dimension.
CoastalTog: I originally only had a Facebook page, so I still mostly link to that a lot of the time. I don’t know why, but thank you for pointing that out. As far as the “client” thing goes, I suppose “client” was a poor word choice. I just don’t know what else to call the people that I shoot for/with on a regular basis. I know that probably sounds like I’m trying to back peddle, but I am honestly being genuine on that part. Thanks for taking the time to respond and offer some feedback!
ParticipantAm I the only one who is SERIOUSLY annoyed that not just fauxtogs but photogs will use music on their website that they CLEARLY cannot and do not own the copyright release for?? This chick is using Blake Shelton, right, like she paid for the rights to that. I wish I knew of a way to report them, I’ve gotten to where I won’t even look at their site I get so ticked off lol. Really though, how hard is it to pay the $40 for a stock song????

Ask and you shall receive. Do we really think it would do any good to report her for copyright violation? This probably sounds really petty, but I would like to see at least one fauxtog suffer some kind of repercussions for unprofessional conduct…
ParticipantJust saw an ad for this chick in my local ad flyer, and of course I had to check it out…and immediately share it with all of you
ParticipantParticipantWent through the albums and cut it down to three. Should be good to go now. I was actually surprised how easy it was to pick out which ones I felt were the best of the sets. I thought I was going to have a tough time picking and choosing. I even went through the artwork albums as well, lol.
ParticipantGreat! Thank you for the response.
I’m sure that others feel the same way as you as I do have quite a few photos. I originally started uploading EVERYTHING because I thought it was the best way to get them to the client(s). But now I have a website that can do private password protected albums, and, well, old habits die hard I guess. I will work on cleaning up my albums. Thank you for the compliment on the artwork, I’ve been doing it for quite some time. Since I was a little kid actually.
ParticipantOk guys, I got one. I actually submitted this guy a while back, but I figured I’d post here so you all can see for yourselves. Presents himself as a professional, but I’m not sure if he charges or not. He works with a local production company (bands and events, etc), so I’m assuming he does charge. I’m not sure what irritates me more, his delusions of being a pro or the fact that the general public seem to think his photos are amazing….Without further adieu….

(I think he actually PhotoShopped a fence on top of a fence…)Oh yea, and he shoots with this:
