Why am I so Annoyed...can someone knock some sense into me? Please!

This one (Courtney Hughes IV 267_BW | Flickr - Photo Sharing! ) in particular blows my mind

Martini Mike! I knew I recognized this image; it's breakfast at Tiffany's.

Seriously:

Just tell her to talk to the photog and tell him which photos she hates. I'm sure he'll take it down.

She did. He says it's his best work, his friends (who are pros) like them, and he needs them for his portfolio.

If that's his best work I wouldn't worry...he won't be a ground breaker or attract too much attention....

 

[Propsguy]

Well, she can just move on... she doesn't need to put the photos in her portfolio...

Take pictures of her that you will both be proud of.

As for the photographer, let him keep the pictures in his portfolio.... I'm sure he'll be flooded with portrait work after he shows those off....

OMFG this is the best thing i have EVAR seen..

Sorry to say that this is BETTER than the original.

Lol for sure!

Moving on...it was just one of those WTF situations you know? Yikes

You realize that the photographer is going to eventually find this thread, if he's smart enough to check his stats, because you linked to his Flickr right? So you just outed your friend's opinion of his work, as well as voicing your own... so you very well *could* have a "photography showdown", as Bitter says, on your hands.

I hope your prepared for that. :lmao:

Ashley, do you have a link to your Flickr, or other portfolio?

Well I am not particularly "scared" of that. She already approached him about this...so nothing to worry about there. The best thing that could happen is that he will take them down. No skin off my @ss

I wouldn't say that I have one, because I don't pretend to be something that I am not. In fact I haven't used/updated my flicker in years.

Hmmm...but here you are pretending to be better than him.

My thoughts exactly. Then how do you even know you *would* do a better job than him?

Whoa whoa whoa...lol I never said I was better...my exact word were

I am going to attempt to help her now, take some shots of here that are more flattering

Attempt to help her is different than saying I am awesome and he should stick it up his butt..lol

I'm annoyed. Yes, yes I am. It's common courtesy to show the model the pictures first...don't you think? I mean maybe not necessary, but honorable.

You won't until I try.

I told her I would try.

Try being the key word.

I am annoyed about the basic fundamentals. That's all.

I guess I just don't understand why you're *annoyed* at another photographer for *trying*?

I see nothing wrong with you doing a re-shoot with her, but what I see wrong is your... I dunno... attitude?... that may be too strong of a word... about the situation in general.

So what? A photographer had a shoot with her in an attempt to build his portfolio... and maybe it's his best work to date and that's *why* he wants to use it for his portfolio... what about that has any affect on you as a photographer, therefore allowing you the ability to be "annoyed" with him?

This is a 100% genuine question out of curiosity, because I seriously just don't understand your reaction.

So not ALL of the pictures are horrible but man does this photographer give me the creeps!
