what I like about hicks is that he captures a woman's warmth and depth instead of forcing every woman into a 'look' like some of the shooters from the 80's that are still shooting today.
although dean has a 'look' he manages to capture the warmth that I love in woman too. very exceptional work for sure. I know dean works long diligent hours to achieve that.
good photography is very difficult. it's no coincident for the most part that the better shooter are older and more experienced. I've only been shooting for 14 years, I have a long way to go.
some of the porn shooters here at GFY have the unnatural gift of making any woman unattractive. it's pretty amazing really. I think they could shoot snaps at disneyland and it would look sleazy, dirty and illegal. a real gift for sure. not really my cup of tea though.
one thing that really kills me is all the poor composition and bad color posted here. then another funny thing to me is the 'airbrush' crowd, they can't see shit and confuse competent photography with being airbrushed. one guy that shoots crap even said once that he would just pull the stuff into photoshop and make it 'glamor' what a fucking hoot!
