Yikes2013Participant
In my area the trend continues to be to give business to the fauxs because they are the “local gal” trying to “make it” (apparently it is not quality photography) whereas I am simply an outsider who has lived and worked in the community for 10 years. They will continually give the “local gal” the business because she was born and raised here while I am “one of THOSE people”. My clientele comes from up to four hours away, so I must be doing something right, but the locals will not see it. I need to get out of here!
Yikes2013ParticipantThis photo is a “what was she thinking” shcomposite rebates a collage with only the baby’s diaper, cupcake, and toes?
Yikes2013ParticipantYikes2013ParticipantWhen offering “Free Holiday Mini Sessions” during a school carnival you give the impression that you are, indeed, a professional- especially when stating your business name. If you are working as an amateur getting experience you should probably just advertise that you will be available to take holiday photos during the carnival and offer a couple sample images. Just a little food for thought.
The Ferris Wheel, btw, is beautiful! I would agree that the tea party shots had potential, but fill flash or reflectors would add so much! Also, when possible and shooting natural light try to avoid high noon and being in direct light. Things get a little harsh then.
Yikes2013ParticipantI would agree that it is most likely the first instinct, but I fail to understand why they continue on and on with the same old stuff…. OOF, badly lit, and poorly edited. And their “fans” and clients LOVE it. I suppose some of that is due to their “fans” being their friends and family rather than ‘actual’ fans. This false bravado makes things even worse because they honestly believe they are improving. Those Mommy Goggles are just a little too powerful which means they keep on taking these horrid images. It is sometimes downright ridiculous. I feel so badly for those who wind up with awful wedding images or terrible newborn images. Those are once in a lifetime images. If you get bad senior photos… have them retaken.
Yikes2013ParticipantWhy is it that some fauxtogs, when on a site such as this or that other FB one, always have the excuse that “it was from my ‘old’ work and I’ve come so far” when in actuality they haven’t improved and things aren’t better in their more recent albums? Clearly they are fooling themselves, but if they are able to see that their horrendous images were, in fact, bad. AND they sold them to clients That way can’t they see they are doing a disservice themselves, their clients, and the world of photography?
Yikes2013ParticipantOops, forgot her main page:
Yikes2013ParticipantThis one is scary….
Not sure why this location was chosen
This album shouldn’t have been included in her online portfolio. Period.

I am laughing because Jessica Stewart (mentioned above) has complimented Rahuls’ on their beautiful work. Really? That bottle of Axe body spray is going to be the envy of the entire commercial photography community.
Yikes2013ParticipantOversaturation, poor focus, and lack of fill light (or any light) plague these.
Sometimes knowing what NOT to post is a skill some need to consider improving.
Why do my eyes keep sliding to the left? Oh, yes, that’s because it is in focus there!

Stumbled upon this while looking for a friend’s baby photos.
