"I think the mark of a good web photographer is when he/she has found a style and has made it their own, and has run with it and profited by it, and made a lot of people happy who want to view it."
exactly right. there is a paucity of "style" and imagination in the adult web and that is what is so frustrating to me. i can't shoot everything i need. and there is so LITTLE that i find good enough to buy.
when you are dealing with erotica you are dealing with the human form, skin, complexion etc.
we are not photographing transmission gears or pencils.
we are trying to make imperfect humans look sexy, appealing.
and this requires some small attention to detail, and this is where lighting comes in, and color balance, and just the very simple concept of knowing a great shot when we see it, and not releasing a shot that is substandard.
even an amateur photographer should be able to get WB correct before releasing a set of images. even an amateur photographer should be able to bounce light rather than use on-camera flash.
today's cameras are not that expensive, lighting is just fucking physics, why don't people give a shit? that's what's so frustrating to me. there's some REALLY beautiful women being photographed so poorly it just amazes me.
i've seen shit from so-called content producers trying to tout their stuff in threads on GFY that make me thing they are colorblind---yellow girls, green girls, i mean shit that wouldn't turn on a martian. lotsa guys just don't understand, don't have a fuckin' clue really, giving a camera to these guys is like giving a violin to a truck driver.
frustrating because many times the girl is beautiful.
