  • Question for Will, and all other photographers

    This girl I know, consistently posts professional photographs of herself on facebook. Whether she does it because she enjoys it, or because she is actually serious about taking up modeling, I really don't know.

    She is pretty damn good looking, but I can't help but notice that she constantly finds places to comment on her own pictures. I'm sure some of you know the type, but the comments are always something to the effect of "oh my god I look terrible", or "eww, I look really pale". Basically trying to either sound humble, or coax out more responses from other people saying she's actually gorgeous instead of just saying thank you for the responses she's already gotten.

    What's been bothering me, is that these are professional photographers, who made it their career to make her look good. It isn't some shitty drunken photo that her boyfriend took. It just seems like it's bad taste to openly insult someones work like that, even though it's herself that she is critiquing. I'm not a photographer, so maybe I'm just looking too far into it. I've also noticed that every new set of photos she posts, is from a different photographer. So maybe they are getting aggrivated, and she's telling them to shit in their hat.

    Basically, that's my question. If it were you photographing her, would this be something that would get under your skin?

    The job of a photographer that does portraiture work or similar, is to make their subject look good (even if they dont as-is )

    so yeah, if i was photoing a girl or person and thought the work was quality, but this person was openly constantly saying how bad she looks in them..id be a little irked at that....though sometimes theres no saving a person even through post process

    On the other hand, its more than likely just 'fishing' as i call it. 'Girl A' says "ew i look bad here" so that 'Girl B' or 'Boy A' (tool) says "oh no you dont sweetheart you look stunning [or insert other compliment here]!!!" either way it would annoy me if someone used my pictures to garner attention through a negative means

    yadda yadda

    you know the song and dance! you nailed it

      If she really didn't like the pictures, she wouldn't be posting them on facebook.

      Sounds like an attention whore to me.

                i vaguely know a couple girls like that and are friends on the facebook

                they always post pics of themselves and always critique themselves then the guys who want to get into pants always go "OMG NOOEEE YOUS PURDY"

                      if i dont like a picture of me, i dont keep it tagged on facebook. simple as that.

                      all of the 'professional' pictures will has taken of me have been my favorite and they have all remained tagged. what will said about people 'fishing' for comments is so freaking true. there are so many girls out there who do that kind of shit, and it drives me crazy...but unfortunately people will do anything for attention
