I had no idea porn surfers looked at photographer CVs before taking a risk and tugging one out. Excuse me if I don't go sign up for any MAs in arse gaping or fuck of and join the British Society of Master Cunt Photographers, I'm busy this week SHOOTING PORN.You will need a page about the author...

Nothing else matters.
Read the book, decide for yourself it's any good.
And you say Brno like its a bad thing. But then, you've never fucking been, so what the fuck would you know? Oh that's right. Your opinions count for so much more than anyone's direct experience. Bit like the shootings of porns really.Comment

Already covered that part. I have shot in CA and in NY, so had experience with US models. They tend to be more confident and assertive than UK girls who can be a it slutty, CZ girls are more compliant, less apprehensive than both but have a far more open mind to sex. Hungarians can be a bit too money motivated at time. Polish girl can be great, but can have a very guilty streak due to their Catholic upbringing. This is also a problem with Italian, Spanish and Filipino girls, Thai girls are very very reserved. Hover don't judge the girls working as prostitutes or strippers by the rest of the Nations female population.the biggest issue for you is going to be your market... you shoot Euro girls and have for 20+ years... ? well Euro models and American models are VASTLY different in almost every possible way... other than having the same 'girly parts' there is no similarity what so ever.
I'm pretty sure won't believe anything I have to input on this since I haven't been a top magazine shooter for 33 years... blah blah blah... but this is a known fact for sure by those of us that have shot both 'brands' of models...
The biggest problem today is the access to free porn by girls classmates, brothers, friends, family and neighbors. This has made many girls who would of come into published porn less willing. They tend to go for more discreet and better paying adult work. Stripping, lap dancing, escorting.
Also don't judge all the girls doing this by what turns up on casting from these professions. In general these are girls who haven't made the grade in those jobs and looking for other incomes. This industry needs the cream of girls to sell well. These girls can earn a lot of money in other avenues of Adult Sex Work.
BUT and it's a big but. When dealing with people there's no hard and fast rule. What might well work with one girl will fail totally with her twin sister.
The kind of girls and personalities who would happily work for Micheal Ancher would not be any way suitable for Max Hardcore. So again the variation is what are you shooting, BVF porn or Twistys porn?

My Brother is in his 4th year and will soon take his Masters Degree in Photography.

He will never earn a penny from Photography, like the rest of his class.
My niece did the same in Art Uni. She now works for a charity company and nothing to do with art.
My cousin went to Drama College, graduated with degrees. Works for a holiday company.
I left school at 14. Worked as a chef and dress designer/pattern cutter until 27. I was trained as a pattern maker in dress manufacturing. Never earned a great deal in those 2 job.
Became an untrained salesman selling office furniture. Sold millions of pounds worth, to the end user, sometimes in one sale. In 1980s I was earning 6 figures a year. GBP not $. Quit to be a pornographer because I was earning more at porn. Another job I had never been trained to do.
I reckon a Million men a month were spilling seed over my pictures, EVERY MONTH. For years and years. Not sure if they give out diplomas for that.

that's a quality critique.This isn't a good pic. Not even close.
Left to right we have. Wrong eyeline and shadow on hand. Next we have shiny forehead and hand growing out of hair. Followed by pure bored. And finally, it's hair in mouth and smoking a huge wooden cigar! All could - and should - have been fixed in the same time it took to say that outloud.
And the crop. OMFG, Just below knee kinda works, but anything mid shin or ankle is just nasty.
As for the stripey holdups? FFS sake you shoot this NOW when it would have been a bit lame in the 80s when some shot for the first time. Possible Paul. The styling is err, old fashioned to say the least.
As for lighting, well there just isn't any, not even a reflector or a careful choice of spot so the sun works in your favour. Even the reverse angle along the wall would have been better contra jour.
Lens/aperture choice? Zero thought. Looks like P mode to me, at about f16. Now imagine that shot on a tele, full length with the background more out of focus, still there, but not quite so intrusive. Or imagine it again wide angle from low down, really showing off those long stripey legs against a blue sky. Or just imagine it any way you prefer that has some kind of a "look" For someone who blathers on about "matt boxes" you'd think that would be falling off a creative log.
The whole shot reeks of a failed attempt at recreating something you once saw done well in an 80s mag. There's simply no point to it. It's not good, honest, workman like porn you can whack to, but it's not art either, it's just a bit rubbish. The only thing it has going for it, is four pretty good girls with their pants down for no reason, but even that barely lifts it into something worth a quick glance.
About all it succeeds at is being a photographic cautionary tale of how, even with four naked girls somewhere sunny, it's still possible to fuck it up.
On the plus side, a lot of your other stuff is pretty good, your book needs tighter editing from about halfway through - too many small images and not enough hero ones. Also, using the laying in the bracken shot twice, once as circular crop and once and regular crop didn't go un-noticed!
but that's not a Paul Markham shot, seems like a bunch of people replying think it's Paul's.I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!Comment

http://gfy.com/showthread.php?p=17621161#post17621161My brother is taking a masters degree in photography at University. Some of his stuff sucks IMO and some doesn't.
Different from what's normally here. Doubt if he would ecer earn shooting what I have. LOL
He was a top exec at a Fortune 500 company and retired on pension now so doesn't have to bother. Taking the Masters Degree course for his own pleasure.Comment

Why do they have those cover notes on books about the author ? Could it be so that we know that they are not talking nonsense?I had no idea porn surfers looked at photographer

Like Paul Marhams believe that you can't change lenses on a DSLR.
It is interesting how you praise ignorance and delight in lack of culture.
I say
"lovely town of Brno"
You say
"And you say Brno like its a bad thing. But then, you've never fucking been, so what the fuck would you know?"
I say
Brno is a lovely town, I have been there, therefore I know. I wrote what I mean.
You are happy being ignorant, it does not bother me, but don't go judging other people, keep your ignorance to yourself.
making money is important but not everything, Coke may make more money than friut juice, it does not make it better.Comment

I said "You shouldn't change the lenses on a DSLR." And gave reasons.
You wrote I said "you can't change lenses on a DSLR"
Oh yes you can, just don't do it unless it's very necessary.
Which makes no difference to the Ebook, which is about porn, not photography.
Making money from your hobby of photography probably isn't important. Making money as a professional pornographer is very important.
Welcome to my ignore list.Comment

What you really said was ....Hi Kettle,

Welcome to my ignore list.
As for lens. Never change a lens on a digital camera, it results on dust on the chips and spots on the image. I thought you would know all this.
Also you have said;
My job is photographer and managing director.
And you say your book is about;
What do you need.
Equipment, props, locations,
How to use the equipment.
How to practice with the equipment so you do not look foolish and get the best from your models.
Lighting.
Technique is everything when shooting, here I will tell you how to be master of the equipment, build your technique using it and find out before you start paying expensive models how to benefit from mistakes.
And of course
Looking professional
But not being professional, because that would mean reading something....
All your criticism of other peoples pictures is in pseudo photographic babble, when your pictures are published without comment you claim they were just done for the cash.
You can understand that being called "clueless" by you is a complement.Comment
