Trends in photography??

I, on occasions, shoot purposely into the ferocious Florida bright sun with a super fast shutter and a mono light on the subject =)

Looks like the site OP posted is a husband-wife team. Damn they do some amazing work.

Yeah, I noticed that last night, that it was a team. I love their work!

This image was, by far, my favourite.

Oh dear god, no... wahahahaha! Sooooooo wrong..

Otherwise, the work is very nice, if a little bit cliche at times.

I wouldnt call that overexposed. It is either the sun hitting the lens element (probably on purpose with no lens hood), or he did it on on PP. Nothing is overexposed. Even the white dress you can see detail. I say his work is top notch.

I think it's top notch too, and actually like it, but was confused that if he were to post that single photo on here in the photo galleries for critique, someone may say it is overexposed. If you scroll down, he has a lot more like it and I have been seeing this a lot lately. The only thinkg I noticed was a little blown out skies, but they seem to work.

Cool does not have to be technically correct. Lots of people on here break all kinds of rules of photography and it is awesome.

Those I suspect were the conditions on the day. Ideal? No, but I doubt if sescheduling for a 'bluer sky' was an option for either the photographer or the clients, so he dealt with it, and did so very well too I think.

He probably did it on purpose and it had nothing at all to do with scheduling. This is definitely intentional. The younger folks really love this type of shot and so do I. To coin it best it looks heavenly.

Its awesome. It shows a fun playful side of their personalities. You could not do this with just anyone.

I love their work and creativity. Definately tells a story.

I visited the site, and the first set that came up, Brad + Lauren's engagement set, has some very questsionable photos. IMO, they are just a fad, and with any luck the fad will die soon. Some sure seem overexposed to me, but I'm not a pro, so what do I know? Did you get a load of that one where they're standing on logs? The logs are in perfect focus, and good exposure, but the couple (who are PAYING for it) are not.

I think this is an example of someone who knows how to sell his services, regardless of what some of us think. After all, he has the terms "traditional elegance + class", "high fashion", and "modern journalistic style", so he can charge a lot of money. And with all those photos, at different locations (classy rail yard, that) he is definitely charging them plenty.

Low contrast from strong back lighting is not a new trend. Photographers have been doing it for more than 50 years.

What has changed is it's a lot easier to use the internet to look at lots of photos from different photographers.

Little of what is done in retail photography today, is new.

Probably makes it harder to stand out from the crowd...? Everyone is doing the same thing, what to do to set yourself apart...?
