The New Photographers - Showing off my camera...

You all might remember the Balloon image I posted a month or so ago, well as it turns out, I was able to convince my photographer friend to shoot with me again.

There's this emerging trend it seems, for models to turn photographers, and for many of the new photographers to coincidentally all look like models, so that sometimes you can't tell who is the model and who is the photographer.

Very different from the "old days" when you could easily tell the photographer apart form the model, even if you couldn't tell the photographer from the homeless person/war vet/hobbit... HAH!

This frightens me a little as a "younger" photographer who isn't blessed to be one of the beautiful people, when given the choice to work with me, or another ultra hot female, which one would you choose to model nude for?

Stone, it was very natural, an attractive young lady, just sitting on a stool being herself. Beautifully simple. He did a bit of photoshopping to attract attention to her eyes, simulating tilt of the easel that would throw other parts of the photo out of focus.
Hey prbomaghin; know your basics ! the shot was taken with a Rolleiflex sl66se, those baby's have TILT aboard no PS :smile: But thanks for the compliment. Most of my models are around 15; I have to convince them "this" is a safe site to show their faces. Oh and btw this discussion has nothing to do with cultural background or age, just bad taste. thanks
AAAACK!!!! The lady model is not the only one to show their ass in public. I had no idea your camera was capable of that. I misinterpreted your mysterious response to my question about your photo as meaning that you were pulling a little PS joke on us. Thank you for being so gentle in correcting my ignorance. As to the site being safe for 15-year-olds, I see how this photo and the hands-off policy toward nudity could scare them off. You are a very wise man, Klaas.

Haha!To be clear to all, THIS model is in her early 30's :wink:
 
The number of views on this picture says it all. Thank you Stone, it just keeps on giving.
