The face makes me feel like the direction she was given was “Okay, look at me like you hate me, and you had to pose for this because it’s part of a bet you lost while in a drunken stupor. Okay, yes, now add a touch of fake smile. Yes, perfect! Hold that.”
The sticky out bit at the front of the camera is called a lens. If you twiddle with the turny bits the image in your eyes becomes sharper and easier to see. Give it a try, you might be surprised!
OK class today we are going to learn the difference between fauxtography and photography. This has all the classic hallmarks of a fauxtog: the entire image is blurry/OOF, underexposed, no attempt at composition, poor choice of orientation and crop, meaningless props, strange lack of clothing/footwear, an awkwardly posed subject with a mannequin-like stiffness to her, and worst of all the grimace on her face saying that she’s not having a good time. At all. Bad post-work may have been done to the image though it’s hard to tell.
Well, you wonder why I always dress in black
Why you never see bright colors on my back
And why does my appearance seem to have an unfocused tone
Well, there’s a reason for the things that I have on
I wear the black for the tasteless and the railroad tracked pics
Sometimes but not always living in the sticks
I wear it for the women who fall prey to a Fauxtog’s crimes
But is there because she’s a victim of the times
meggy
Ummm.
Trying to find something good to say.
Cortney
That’s a nice…log?
John
Nice guitar.
JE
Could have been worse…could have been in focus.
asdf
Have my like sir! XD
George Kremer
Pantsless and pointless.
BurningBiomass
She obviously had been playing a guitar version of Bach’s “Air on the G String”.
Harry Wyckoff
I believe that’s Robert Smith from The Cure.
Maybe this is an early promo shoot, or album artwork concept?
HennyM
does he have boobs?
reactiveload
I thought Boudoir shots were done inside.
Harry Wyckoff
Not at all – lots of boudoir is outside.
But this isn’t boudoir.
It’s just scary.
And bad.
And Robert Smith.

HennyM
it’s not just no pants time, seems to be no bra time as well…
horrible. just horrible.
HennyM
she’s not wearing any shoes, either. i’m confused….

Trying to be sexy is like trying to be funny — if you fail it’s just sad. This is sad.

I loooooooooooove this not-so-rounded-but-still-reclangularish frame!

Dear Photographer.

It was surprising that one thing sort of/could’ve worked, but hit all the wrong notes at the same time.
HennyM
they’re trying to sell the guitar. the guitar is kind of in focus.

Junior
Kelly Osbourne?
HennyM
i believe she is blonde now.
whatda
Two lopsided ta-tas are distracting me.
HennyM
this is what happens if you, when reached a certain age, refuse to wear a bra.
Grackle
Then don’t look at them, unless you feel that they’re the fault of the photographer.
You know, the person you’re SUPPOSED to be critiquing?
HennyM
as someone with fairly poor eyesight i really don’t see what’s wrong with this.
