In honor of... CC

[JoeyV]

Some people obviously don't know the meaning of slutty... or are WAY to prude. Most 14 y/o girls I know already have an avid sex life....and the one portrayed herein honestly looks like a "good girl" who hasn't even thought of that yet. So I don't think she is trying to be/being slutty in the least. People are calling any teenager slutty nowadays simply because they're revealing skin...think back to the 70's when short shorts and belly tanks were the "in thing." Were they slutty then or just being young and careless? At the end, she's not being sexy in the least (or I don't find anyways), she is simply holding the uniform flaps and posing as an aspiring model would. With practice, I think she could become a decent model as she is not camera Shy (see what I did there?) and has a certain physical flexibility allowing her to take poses loosely/ not wound up.

I think both you (OP) and Shy should keep going at it, but maybe avoid using the flag and uniform (or at least posting those here) since people are too sensitive and way too patriotic....especially when all you asked for was CC.

Cheers.

lots of funny reading in this thread. thanks. i'm crying over here.


as a veteran, i found nothing rude, disrespectful, trashy, slutty, innapropriate, or dishonorable about the pics.

not sure what the problem is?

as a father of a 16 year old daughter ,i don't find these to be slutty pics? not sure where that came from.

if i saw my daughter with pics like this, it would certainly not upset me. and i'm a former ranger and an EXTREMELY over protective dad.



there are some compositional things that could have been done to make them better.

in #1 and #2, i would like it a lot more if the background was ONLY the flag. you got a few spots where there is black next to the flag and below it. kinda ruins it. it's like i'm seeing behind the wizards curtain. imo if the flag is the background it should be completely.

#3, is dead on. love it. (except for the distracting yellow polish on the nails.) maybe edit that out to either natural, or a tan to go with the uniform. NOT red or blue to go with the flag though.

I've read through this whole thing!! Wow. LoL.


So.... If you would have nailed the technical aspects of this shoot, and not stated her age, I doubt anyone would have had much negative to say.



Possibly, instead of handling the flag, you could do a composite. Or pay more attention to how you light the flag.

according to the constitution even just having falgs that are not full sized (like having one that goes in a stake in the ground) is also disrespectful

Where, in the U.S. Constitution, is this?

no clue read it in my us history book... ill look it up after new years when i go back to school... and since this is a photo forum ill take pictures of it to prove it...

Were you able to locate this? I'm curious.
