The respect of the Human Form

By -

You will have to excuse me, its a bit of a vent session. I belong to a large number of photography societies and have been noticing that some photographers, even in my local area... do not have respect for the human form.
In its natural and perfect form, the human body is an amazing piece of art created by God. So why is it then that some photographers don't respect this, they seem to exploit the beauty of art and a females body, to get more likes? I don't know. BUT STOP IT.
There are some amazing photographers that really create art out of the beauty of the human form, making amazing empowering images. Artists like Micheal Stokes, and Steve Castings know how to really make the human form look amazing. Even tho Steve has an Erotic section which pushes it too far for my liking, but that is my personal opinion; but yet his work is amazing and respectful.
My thing is that the human form should be respected, especially the female form. If a photographer does choose to photograph the human form then they need to do it in a way that empowers that form. By taking (simply put) pornographic style images and calling it art is just a joke and is disgusting, these photographers should have their camera's broken.

As photographers we know that clients are going to contact many photographer, and look for the one that suites them best. There is nothing wrong with that, you need to find the photographer that suites your needs and style; hopefully its not only based on the cheapest... But... you have taken the time to contact all these photographers, looked at what they have to offer; and narrowed down a list of photographers you want to meet. I hope you meet with your photographer, if you don't how do your know what you see on their web and social media is actually them. You then meet and choose the photographer that is perfect for you and your needs, and that's where you leave it. If that is the case that is actually really rude. You have contact a good number of photographers, alot of them have their hopes set that you might use them, and may even go as far as doing a block booking for your date. If you don't know what a block booking is, it is a temporary booking to remind t

We have all come across "That Photo", the photo that makes us stop and look again and again, ending with an attraction or emotion being evoked with, "That Photo." So what is it about "That Photo" that makes us stop. Well photographers actually put a lot of work into getting that image, spending a lot of time researching and learning how to achieve it. With the more skill and experience a photographer has, obviously it will be easier.  Joel Grimes , a renowned sports and fashion composite photographer says, "Awesome, you got that shot, now go do replicate it 300 times more and then you can say you can do it". "That Photo" does not just happen, it takes lots and lots of practice. Many people will say its the gear, "You have the best camera, off course you will get the best photo". That is so not true its just not funny, its like saying, your oven makes fantastic cakes! World Top Wedding Photographer  Jerry Ghionis , has

Your Photo's in a Day

I don't know how many of you have been offered a photo-shoot with the promise of getting your photo's the next day... Or even how many of you thought this was awesome and booked that photographer. Well, if you did book that photographer, and you received your photo's you may have noticed that you could have probably taken better pictures on your phone. There is a very good explanation for this. That photographer is what we call a "Snap & Burn" photographer. They get a camera and realizes that they can take some pretty good images, but dont know anything more that that, or anything about post editing. They literally just take a load of "Snap Shots" and the burn them onto a disk and give it to you the next day. As a Professional Photographer, we take at least 3-4 days just to download and do basic corrections to our images, from there our images go through an intense crit and selection process, followed by photoshop adjustments. Usually, on a
