Something *new* for Danni.com [pics]
 

Hi gang - I was going for something a little different than your used to seeing from me in these pics of the delicious Carli Banks. A little dark & edgy and not so soft & pretty. These were shot a few weeks back for the folks at Danni.com.

Curious to know what you think :thumbsup

honestly.

and dont get me wrong. i consider you a god in your line of work.

but honestly.

i do not like it what so ever.

your lighting is amazing, the shots u take, breath taking. i look forward to how well light ever shot you take is. i consider you one of the best.

this look isnt what you do well, imho.

It's grainy. It's semi-dirty. It's back alley jerk off and kind of hoping someone catches you. I love it. As gorgeous and pristine as she is, you came across with the point I believe you intended. Correct me if I am wrong.:thumbsup

Screaming? Never question a master. It may not appeal to you personally but look beyond. It's there, and it's fucking awesome.

Not your best work...

So do you know anything about why your thread from last week was deleted? The one where Shap revealed that you were let go early from your Twisty's contract (to put it nicely).

I've seen threads closed infrequently on GFY, but I was unaware that they were deleted altogether (especially after reaching 3 pages).

Maybe the mod that deleted the thread can shed some light as to why the entire thread was deleted, instead of one or two offending posts (whichever those were - certainly not mine), and why has there been no explanation regarding why it occured in the first place?

I'm not a big fan of censorship, and up until the thread was deleted, I had not seen any posts which broke any rules, therefore I think it is reasonable for someone to step forward with an honest explanation.

Whaddya think gang?

Thanks a lot for your honest opinion. I'll never be able to do this "well" if I don't put some time and effort into experimenting with it and getting some feedback on it from people like you. Anyone who really knows me...knows that I love trying new things and this is one of those things. I have no plans to change the style that I've been shooting - but I do want to be able to shoot a wider variety of looks. Some girls will look better with a more edgy treatment and some girls look better with a soft & pretty treatment. I've done about as much as I can with the soft & pretty "thing" so I'm trying to push the envelope a bit. Thanks again for your opinion :thumbsup

I AGREE. this does NOT make a guy want to JACK OFF and that's what this game boils down to, RIGHT?

Dean, I know I am new here but am I right with the look you captured? I happen to like it very much.

I think you may be putting your personal likes and dislikes into your post and not thinking about the big picture. I may be new here but I have seen Dean's work in the past and I would in no way call him a porn photog. He is an artist with a canvas that comes in the form of a camera. Wonder Twins power activate :1orglaugh

All kidding aside, his work is unprecedented ands is up there with Playboy/Penthouse material. I really enjoy these photos. I would like to see the entire shoot because I am assuming it can only get better.

Lawrence...Shap was way out of line by discussing our personal and confidential business on this board. I posted 3 HUGE replies to Shaps post that I knew would without question send Shap over the edge. After I posted the replies and took a minute to read back thru them, I decided that if I left those posts there, I would be lowering myself to Shaps level of playing dirty. I'm a better person than that. I'm more professional and more respectful. I then contacted a moderator and asked that the thread be deleted. It wasn't because of what Shap posted, it was because of what I posted in response to Shap.

When Shap and I parted ways he said that it was important to him that we had no issues with each other. That we didn't talk about each other negatively in public and that we try to be as respectful and professional as possible regarding the others public image. The fact that Shap came here on this public board and started putting our personal and confidential business on display for everyone to see should tell you a lot about doing business with Shap. I'm not the one who posts negative stuff about him - he's the one who posted negative stuff about me.

Regarding Shaps comments about my contract - he is going to tell you whatever he needs to tell you to make me look bad and to make himself look good. Just remember that there are always two sides to a story.

I think it's a damn shame that Shap would come here and say anything negative about doing business with me and try to ruin my name & reputation especially when you think about how dedicated I was to him this past year. I worked my ass off this past year for Twistys. I've never given so much of my time, effort, blood sweat & tears to anyone like I did for Twistys this past year. Shap has some of the best content that I've ever produced in my entire life and still he is not happy. And it makes him even more unhappy when I post pictures that I shot for his competitors and the pictures get 3 pages of positive comments.

I hope this clears this up for you Lawrence. :thumbsup

Everyone but the last one is amazing. love it...

well this has a style... you did some nice shoots here :)

they are pretty good :thumbsup

kleenex, now.

I guess my postcount doesn;t make me worthy of a response from the man himself (even after I toot his horn on more than one accasion). :P

Still love the pics :)

Walrus...I was just going for something different than what I always do. I understand that some people will not like it - I'm cool with that. Some people do not like the other stuff that I do - I'm cool with that as well. There is no way that I can please everybody so I just try to please myself and it's brought me this far :thumbsup

Ahhhhhhhh - you spoke too soon :winkwink:

Yes, I suppose I did. Your work is amazing brother. :thumbsup

I really like the first pic, but the rest are just - I don't know. Just doesn't seem to do it for me.

pretty stuff, great photography.

won't convert for recurring memberships IMO.

but could sell for wallpaper style graphics, erotic postcards, calendar art, clip art, stock photography, etc, etc.

Nice is great!

Very artistic

Carli is one of the hottest chicks ever. I love those pics..they have a nice edge to them.

When you said it was *new* I thought you shot a tranny and I got all excited.

Ahhh... but it's a real girl.

I dig it.

It's not your typical work but it shows you are not a one trick pony and can create different moods. If she was in jeans, it looks like it could be for a jeans ad. Would also work well if the girl had a goth look to her. THAT would be super hot to shoot like that.

Well, that was a smart, rational, well thought out move...

As I recall you came off as somewhat imbalanced in your posts (no wonder you wanted them deleted) - sort of like when you were attacking Serge (NoComments) awhile back on another board.

Sounds more like you made an ass of yourself, and then tried to cover up that you aren't as professional and respectful as you try to make people believe, and you said some rather mean-spirited things to someone who is well-respected, and has acheived much more in this business than you probably ever will.

Otherwise, why not just have your own posts deleted? (Not that I approve of that either...many of us would like to take back comments made in the heat of the moment, but few run crying to the mods, requesting that an entire thread be deleted - and shame on whomever the mod was that acquiesed to your typically self-centered request).

As I recall, you did in fact post very negative things about Shap (as you are in this thread), although this isn't the first time for you to publicly diss a former employer:

It's always everyone else - when your content store failed, when your web sites failed, when employers gave you the boot...

You seem to do that pretty well by yourself...

FYI: It's not about your content Dean, you shoot nice pictures - it's your ego and attitude! Underneath your public veneer, you can be very mean-spirited and you seem incapable of accepting any criticism without going mental.

What is clear, is that when you wrote threatening/psycho e-mails to me in the past (which I have so far refrained from posting), I politely asked for you to stop, which you didn't, and I also requested for you to not post my name online as you had been doing, and you still do even in this thread.

Have I ever posted your real name or other personal info about you online? No. Have I ever initiated e-mail communications with you? No.

For your own benefit, you might want to see a psychiatrist, Dean, because as much as you wish that your work would cover up your apparent psychological problems, the real you still comes through to many of those who have to spend more than a few paid photo sessions with you, and those whom you attempt to threaten and bully offline. :winkwink:

nice pics

This will go down as another thread gone wrong...:upsidedow

The girl is damn hot..........lol.

hot chick. great pics.

hahahaha..guys will jerk off to just about anything.. spare me that argument:1orglaugh

Dean, I love it.. very raw..and Carli has about the most perfect body..geesh, I feel jealous for once.

The girl is superhot but I think the photos would look much better without these "grey"-filter stuff. I have seen photos of your work before and it's much better than this.

(I don't know about photo-stuff at all but you know what I mean?)

It's different from your previous works, Dean...but I think these shots are really great!:thumbsup

love the color and light .. thats a tough set up to shoot .. I read early in the post someone didn't like them ..something about them being grainy .. kinda part of the shot I would think.... I have a pretty good idea how you shot them .. and props to you ..I think you got exactally what you were looking for ..... i happen to like them very much .. now i have to go try and emulate lol....

Don't listen to this guy Dean. Your work is stunning, and this stuff looks far cooler than he's making out. It's hot, stylish, dark, dirty. I love it. Hell, I would... look at our site, and you'll probably see the connection between the style of our stuff and your latest shots of Carli.

Honestly, one man's good is another's bad. This is some of the coolest work I've seen you post.

Don't stop doing this stuff, and don't listen to the haters who can't open their mind. Bright glossy glamour work is fine, but doing shoots like this are what makes a guy more diverse.

as mentioned you are a great photog but these I just dont like.... But still nice in their own unique way.

awesome pics
and she is really hot
great to see someone doing something different
brilliant ART

Love the llllllllloooooonnnnnnng legs ;-)

Great photography Dean!!!

I love this pic !!!!

Different, but not bad at all !! :thumbsup

You should've shot it in black and white.

I like the first and third pics :thumbsup

I think these are stunning. The grungy/gritty effect really gives the series a "voyeuristic" edge and makes it more than just a bunch of pretty pictures. Making a pretty picture of a pretty girl is one thing?making a pretty girl look interesting is another. :thumbsup

I like your work but I'm not feeling this particular shoot for some reason

hmm...


frankly, if you are looking for constructive criticism... those pictures look like a professional photographer took with my crappy old camera phone.


:2 cents:

why my page crash?

why my page crash?

The overall finished image looks far too cool/cold for a members area. I like them, a lot - But only from an art point of view - Which is where you are coming from, I assume.

I love your pics!

I love you regular pics, in a porn way.... but these pics are even better, amazing work! Just not suited for your regular porn site.

I would pay to be a member of a site full of pics as cool as these with regular updates. This is more than just a naked chick. Congrats.

Beautiful pics :)!

looking great!

very sexy pics :)
