How can a man who shoots wedding photos all the time know anything about Lamat style photography? Weddings are as vanilla as ice cream, not much to really bite on and it's all the same, no diversity. I don't care about advice. If I wanted advice I wouldn't come here, i'd look in the mirror and get myself together.

Ignorance is bliss.

Regardless, fundamentals of photography are universal and there are common traits across all types of photography. It shows you're not an artist at heart by your ignorance comment. I proves what I've been saying all along, you're simply looking for validation and not improvement. You mask your laziness to learn behind "creativity", just like many lazy photographers out there. It's nothing new.

Best of luck!!!

PS @Derrel , he's all yours!! LOL

Lets call a spade a spade here. Your work, and your attitude, are bad. Some people are trying to be polite but at this point you're just annoying and quite possibly mentally ill with your delusions.

There's nothing there to look at past the technical imperfections, just terrible quality work that looks like you made them in MS Paint. I don't mind a new photographer who's work is bad, but the fact that you wont take solid advice, while at the same time critiquing actually good photographers, I've lost my patience with your tomfoolery.

Why don't you just leave and go with whatever other forum actually accepts your garbage

.... I haven't called anyone out on that other forum because nobody has personally attacked me, it's all fair criticism but done in the proper way.

I'm not aware of anyone personally attacking you here. In fact the moderating team has devoted quite a bit of their time to ensuring your threads stayed on an even keel, even when you told us we didn't know our donkey from a hole in the ground. I would also be interested in learning how you define the "proper way" to deliver critique.

could you move all josh's threads to the "just for fun" section and limit him there. As he isn't looking for critique and it would avoid future conflicts derived in threads like this?

That is going to be a lot of fun!

You should be able to overlook a few technical issues to appreciate the beauty in the photo or in anything by that matter. Perfection is in the eye of the beholder, i've had people message me on this site saying they love my work and others don't like it at all. Nobody is going to agree 100% with my art and I don't expect them to but I never appreciate people getting personal with me. I haven't called anyone out on that other forum because nobody has personally attacked me, it's all fair criticism but done in the proper way.

The problem is that you come into the forum all high and mighty, then your work dont live up to your arrogance. No I'm not getting personal but simply stating my observation. I'm the big advocate of mood and emotions over technical perfection. I shoot weddings for a living, I know when to brush aside technical perfection but your photos are filled with so many common technical flaws to a point where they look newbie and amateur. You can simply correct them by learning the fundamentals of photography and design or you can just continue with what you do and never improve. One of the many important qualities of a great artist is the ability to recognize what is good, what is bad, and why. From my observation so far, you lack that ability and are just full of excuses.

I've said this before and I will say it again, if you need help just open up and ask. Many experienced photographers on this forum will donate their time to help you.

Just my opinion...

How can a man who shoots wedding photos all the time know anything about Lamat style photography? Weddings are as vanilla as ice cream, not much to really bite on and it's all the same, no diversity. I don't care about advice. If I wanted advice I wouldn't come here, i'd look in the mirror and get myself together.

All right kid...look, I have defended you where is necessary by forum rules, but you seem pretty intent on ignoring the rules yourself. So here's the deal.... As a wedding and portrait photographer myself, I can tell you, with no bit of uncertainty, you know absolutely nothing about photography short of pushing a button. Your credentials to put forth any opinion whatsoever about photography here is zilch. Nada. Zero.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but perhaps you should stick to letting mom and dad support you and leave photography judging to those infinitely more qualified. IE: anyone else here.

No, but I will move them to 'Off topic' since there's not been any real discussion of photography for most of this thread.

 

[tecboy]

Since, this is an 'Off Topic' thread, oh never mind....

 

[ronlane]

This thread seems to have more action than the Merryweather-Pacquiao did Saturday night. (Or so I hear) And cheaper too.

I think the correct phrasing would be, "Why should a skilled wedding & portrait photographer CARE about "Lamat style" photography? Certainly the examples you've posted here strike me more as rather unskilled graphic design than anything, and if you really want to talk "vanilla" in the sense of plain, common and boring, given how much bad photography is around these days, I would submit that you are far more vanilla than most other members here.

@pixmedic, I think you have found a third shooter for you next wedding. Heck they are so "easy" that you should be able to sit back and collect the money and rely on Jr there to get everything wrapped up for you in a few minutes.

thank you. seems to put the square peg in the square hole where it belongs.

kind of sad really. Just did a quick search through the general section. All kinds of work posted with barely even a response or critique/comment given. And here we are dwelling on Josh who apparently needs no help.

I hang around with flauxtographers. I got really used to it.

Very well. I will give you your opportunity then, lets see you back up your claims. I demand to see someone on this site who incorporates a military hussar jacket with a feathered fan whilst commanding an age old army, can't do it? Ok, lets see someone who incorporates a sextant with false grey sideburns and a ponytail. Ahh can't do it. Right, well lets establish something. The photos i've created do not exist ANYWHERE else in the world never mind on this forum, do you not understand what vanilla actually means? It means the same old mass produced boring photos that we see all over the place all the time. When I joined that other forum the members said they had never seen anything like it, you can go ahead and read it yourself if you don't believe me. If i'm vanilla you must be ready salted.

I'll show you my hussar jacket and feather when you show me your wedding photos. Since you made the challenge, you go first. I'll just wait here to see them

How 'bout I challenge you to get the right exposure on your face, in your photos I mean.
