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

I just find this kind of thread in poor taste.

Quite frankly, if she signed a release, he can do what he wants, according to the terms of that release.
You can feel bad for your friend, that's cool. This is one of lifes little learning experiences.

Sure, you can attempt to take some more flattering images. You might do a fantastic job.
I just don't understand how she had no idea of his style, and simply didn't know what she was getting into?
To then ask him to remove the images, that he has a signed release for.

Bad news bears. Probably would have been better off with you...

Your only looking at her nipples just like me

I might just send him an e-mail and show him the thread so he can defend himself.....lol

 

[mrpink]

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.

Read the last seven words of her sig.... maybe she learned more than just photography from KR.

Joking aside.

You probably will do a better job than this photographer. You know your friend personally, she knows you personally. You want to take photos that please her, the other photographer wanted to take photos that pleased him. He told her what he wanted, and she did just that- this is what a model's job is, modeling. Now if she was paying for these photos for her own promotion, then she would have a legitimate beef.

I would think, if she were paying for promotional shots, she would have had a say in the intended results.

But think you hit the nail on the head. (bolded)

I understand your opinion and appreciate it.

I completely understand where you are coming from, and yes it would have been in better taste to do a new shoot, then post? Or never post at all? Yes that would have been the classy way!

I'm just not feeling classy I guess.

She feels like a total idiot for what she did. There is no excuse for what she did, but she was excited and flattered. People do things like this all the time to get exposure. Thinking that they are doing the right thing to get their career moving. Yes it's silly to be angry that she made a mistake, but I'm the silly kinda person.

This isn't about who has the biggest Photag peen. This is about doing the classy and right thing for her. Sit down and review the photos, give her copies and make her feel good about it. But I can't change the way people treat each other...

Lol what does Ken have to do with anything? LOL

Anyway I agree. It was more of his style. A communication breakdown if you will. I am more of a do it for you type of person. Especially now with the built bubble rising up my throat...

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

No, this isn't about doing the classy right thing for her. She signed an agreement.

I thought you weren't feeling classy? :greenpbl:

But I can't change the way people treat each other...

Sure you can... you get off the computer... take a look in the mirror... and make the changes there... (wait... isn't there an MJ song about that? )

You can change the way you're treating a fellow photographer, by "outing" him in a public forum and then outwardly bashing his work? Not very classy or professional... and whether or not you're *actually* a professional, doesn't mean you can't *behave* professionally. And again... you can change the way people treat each other by changing the way you're treating someone who isn't even here to defend themselves.

Lanscapes, sunsets, flowers, macro....anything BUT people really lol

 

[mishele]
