ParticipantThat’s not all the way true. You can still be in high school until you are age 21. (They would have just been held back a lot or failed) and I’ve personally known someone who graduated High School 1 month after turning 16.
ParticipantThank you to everyone who was HELPFUL!
I didn’t ask for you opinion on if I should do it or not. They liked my photography from the other wedding and I’m doing this as a favor since I told them I wasn’t too familar in the field.
There’s some background info on this as well I may want to add!
The wedding is outside, in a circle shape. The “circle of love” idea. Has anyone ever shot a wedding like that? Where the bride and groom are in the middle while the guest’s chairs are in a circle around them?
It begins at 5:30 and runs late. It’s the 4th of July, so fireworks are going to be there. I’ve purchased some fireworks and had my brothers play around wtih them to practice.
Also, I’ve photographed the Bride and Groom (Not engagement, just a few photos outside) To find what angles and positions I like best for them.
And, one final detail, my Uncle’s a lawyer and has been for 25 years. Trust me, I have a great contract.

We both have smiliar styles, which is nice to see since most just care about pretty photographs and yours has more depth. With that being said, I believe you have a great career head of you. But, there are a few things you should work on.
*To begin, some of your photos are very busy. I have a hard time finding your focal point. And when I do, sometimes the focal point is a tad blurry. Watch the eyes.
*You sometimes cut off joints. Watch that. Look for framing.
*Lastly, be careful with some of the coloring when doing effects from the photos. Some of the colors ruin the photos by being too much or not enough.
ParticipantYes, I do. They’re also my artwork. I’m proud of them. Why hide something you love? Not every photograph is about that.
ParticipantI started out as every cliche’ artist does. It was in my bones, my soul. It made me feel alive for the first time.
I began taking photographs as a child, egar to learn more. A photograph here, another there. It was my secret magical moments between my camera and I. My foster mother first got me into is. She taught me the importance of a moment. How you should capture every memory and put in a jar so it’s yours forever. The first time I took a photograph that I would consider more than just a snap shot was when I was twelve. I began with film, but sadly, wasn’t as engaged in it as I wished. I recieved my first Digital Camera at 14 and that’s when I really started. Trees, flowers, animals, random people. I was everything a fauxtographer was, but aspired to become something more. I studied every night, constantly. Apature, shutter, manual, anything. Sadly, I became distant with my camera when I began dating my first serious boyfriend. I was 15-16, he was 17-18 and it lasted a little over a year. After it ended, I felt like such a void. A part of my soul was missing.
I remember laying in bed one night, crying to my sister about my heartache. I wished I had more photos to cling to, to stare at. And that’s when I really knew what I wanted to do. That’s when I knew I wanted to take as much photographs as I could. Every moment of the day, If I could. I saved up every dime I could until I finally purchased a cheap Rebel T3I on sale on black friday. I was so excited. It was more than just a camera, it was my way of expression.
Over time, I upgraded to a Canon 60D and enhanced my skills. At first, I wanted to please everyone with my photographs. Take what they wanted, what they found beautiful. As I progress, I took photographs for myself. What I liked, how I saw the world. It was then that I became a photographer instead of a fauxtographer. When the worlds opinion no longer mattered and my soul was lit on fire when the click of my camera.
ParticipantFirst off, the website is terrible. There is nothing appealing about how it is set up and instead of looking a “professional photographer website,” it looks more like a 5th graders myspace page. Tacky, terrible, tasteless. 0/10 people find it attractive.
Moving on, the photographs are boring, out of focus, and dull. Those backgrounds make it look like they found a fixin-up house and took senior photos in. I would be embarrassed to show my friends and family those photographs.
I think the worst part is that it’s two people. I mean, one fauxtographer is bad. Two? Yikes! Run for the hills! You would think that there would be at least one photograph that contained some hint of potential. NOPE.
ParticipantThey’re conceptual artwork and photographs along with origional poems/writings.
Participant… So.. does that mean that they’re okay?
Participant… I’m not sure if that’s a compliment or an insult….
I went through a miscarriage a few months ago and my therapist thought it would be a good idea if I used photography to illistrate how I was feeling.
I apoligize if they offended anyone.
ParticipantThey’re terrible! Oh god! Just, no! NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!
They should just stop!
ParticipantDanit! They didn’t transfer! Here’s the links! Sorry!
Participant@tomservo51, which girl?
I think they’re both awful.
ParticipantHere are two “fauxtographers” I have come across.

He has half of a head!
Because every couple wants a picture like this:
Or this “fauxtographer”
https://www.facebook.com/louisemariephotography?fref=ts
This is just terrible:
I can’t believe someone paid for this! Senior picture?! They’re horrible.
ParticipantThe 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and last photos are terrible. Nothing special and nothing I haven’t seen my 6 year old sister shoot. The peacock feather is more interesting and I liked it. You captured the water well in the one with just the leaf.
Other than that, keep practing.
ParticipantI really enjoy your pieces. And you are most definitely not a fauxtographer. Keep it up!
