Does he care? Well, he's a fucking honey badger with a big bank account 
But we all know mags like Playboy and FHM and what not, have all kinds of plastic looks in there.
I personally try to limit the amount of overphotoshopping and try to keep a natural look where possible. I'm not a big fan of the "plastic" look myself. I can do it and I have done so for clients. But it's not something I like to do too much. |
My point was that he is satisfying his clients, the magazine editors. Otherwise, he wouldn't be regularly published. He's obviously successful at what he does and still, people are whining about how much photoshop he was doing on his pictures. In my opinion, people will whine about any damn thing. You just can't satisfy everybody so I say satisfy yourself and your client and fuck everybody else. Do what you love, what fills your heart with joy and what pays the bills and if the haters wanna hate, let them fucking hate.
I post my pics here on GFY and other places and I have people who love the shots and people who whine that I used too much photoshop. One person loves the work and the next person has issues with the work. How does one rectify this if they want to please every one? Really, there's no way to do it. At some point you have to do what you think is best and just ignore the constant complainers who have nothing better to do than whine about stupid shit....and GFY is full of those.
I have a direction that I want to go with my work. This may not be the direction that a bunch of haters & trolls think I should be taking my work. If someone complained about my work whose opinion I actually respected, I would appreciate the time that they took to tell me their thoughts. But most of what I see are haters, trolls & jealous wanna'be's basically just being assholes. So I just do my best to ignore them.
