You just need more pictures in general. lol Apr 22 05 01:26 pm Link Posted by Rik Bowman: i don't claim self-portraits to be art or even good most of the time, but they can definitely be fun. Apr 22 05 01:29 pm Link well, i'd just rather email the photo instead of jolting the other viewers of this thread  R Apr 22 05 01:37 pm Link Mine is my main! haha Apr 22 05 01:53 pm Link I call my pic the 3.8 seconds of creativity in front of scanner and a little photoshop play Apr 22 05 02:05 pm Link Fair enough.  EDIT: Man, this place really needs to provide un-re-compressed JPEGS. Grrr. I'm prettier than that, really.

That too freaken funny! Apr 22 05 04:43 pm Link I have gone through to many cameras trying to get a self pic and no one in this area will try with theirs. Sorry, there is a reason I am on this side of the lens, lol Apr 22 05 05:21 pm Link no! ha ha.. I did and then I took it down.. my girls are too pretty! Apr 22 05 05:27 pm Link when I get more than 20 slots I'll waste one on a pic of me...or just go to my OMP page, my dorky lookin puss is up there Apr 23 05 11:42 am Link There is a picture in my portfolio of what I look like. Durr expression and all Apr 23 05 11:27 pm Link Okey-dokey. Warning: Contains facial nudity. *g* [img]./pics/426b2654c0e03.jpg[/img] Apr 23 05 11:58 pm Link Posted by Sam Bennett: LMAO. Sam, I think you were a girl in a previous life. Awesome pic dude. Reminds me of a Monty Python skit for some reason. Apr 24 05 12:05 am Link Sometimes when I see a photographer has a photo of him/herself up, it comes off as rather unprofessional to me. It depends on how its presented, of course. Apr 24 05 12:06 am Link Posted by Kara Mae: Oh great. Now you say. *g* ...like one of those moments you're happy you bought something cool, then a friend comes around with the same thing...and he got it cheaper somewhere else. Grrrr. Apr 24 05 12:07 am Link Haha well what do I know, anyway! I think in particular I am referring to, for example, if someone has a snapshot of themselves as their "avatar", rather than a photo which is giving off a representation of their work. Since this site allows so many photos to be hosted, I guess it makes sense to throw in a self-portrait if you have room. When its the MAIN image, it gives off a weird "dating site" kind of vibe or something. Anyway I like the surprise of meeting people, haha. Apr 24 05 12:15 am Link i got a pic of me on my photog page, gotta love the self-timer, then again i model as well, so plenty pics of me there lol  Apr 24 05 12:32 am Link Posted by Kara Mae: Lol. I hear ya. I'd rather show off a model, or a shot I'm proud of as my main. Self-preference of course, but I'm kinda half-n-half with a self-portrait for an Avatar, because I've seen some that looked pretty cool and imaginative. Apr 24 05 12:35 am Link Posted by AlliPhotoGraphx: That's a nice self-portrait Alli. Apr 24 05 12:37 am Link Here is what I shot the day I examined my first digi, a Canon G2. The safety goggles, well, that's another story. The goatee is gone now, I'm waiting for the white to even out.  Apr 24 05 03:17 am Link The best I ever felt about my imagery was the day that people looked at it and quit asking "Oh, who's that?"... I realized that a lot of images are put in a book because of the photographers personal connection with the subject. I like to think that it doesn't matter who's in the image, because the image goes beyond being "my brother". SO. I actually shoot myself whenever I can't find a model. As a result, I'm on my page. Whoever guesses which one is me wins a free trip to hell. Apr 24 05 03:29 am Link Posted by Steve Mills: Oh man! You guys are making me want to go out and take some funnies! Apr 24 05 03:30 am Link Posted by Kara Mae: I'm definitely with you on this point. There are some self-portraits that are really well shot and show photographic talent, but most of the time it's more like "Check ME out..." - creepy. Apr 24 05 09:43 am Link Posted by * Visual Mindscapes *: Do I ever HATE being in front of the camera. Apr 25 05 09:19 am Link Joe you're too pretty to put up a self portrait. You'd give all the models a run for their money. haha lol Shawn Apr 25 05 10:14 am Link Sometimes there is a demand for a photo of yourself, especially since most photographers are behind the camera and never IN any picture. So, I bit the bullet and did some self portraits last year... and lo and behold... when I was shooting for BTE TV NY Fashionweek... they actually took my selfportrait off my website, cropped it to the face and voila, it appeared on my press pass... LOL Apr 25 05 10:31 am Link Posted by Sam Bennett: Sammy Boy! You hot.......makes for good Monday morning humor Apr 25 05 10:35 am Link Posted by Shawn Kuck: Are you talking about me dahlin? Dat's so nice ub you. But I can't compete against the likes of Eva Gabor and Juliet Prowse. I even tried for Gomer Pyle's role and lost. Belib me dahlin...being a Huzzband and Father to seven kids is much easier (no one competing for that role). But, every now and then dahlin I dream...the lights! The fame! The bling-bling! Muahh. I coulda' been a star dahlin if only I had longer legs! *LOL* Apr 25 05 11:14 am Link I think it would be great for photographers to post a pic of themselves...it gives an idea of what the photographers look like when the models go meet them for the first time. Apr 25 05 01:28 pm Link When models meet me they tell me that I look very young.. You tell me: This was taken by assistant during a shoot at the zoo.  Apr 25 05 07:36 pm Link Posted by * Visual Mindscapes *: You & your eternal quest to find hot girls. Jun 05 05 05:56 pm Link I am my Avatar. Wait till next week when I change it to a slug or a bird turd. Jun 05 05 07:34 pm Link A fellow photographer that was working with me this weekend took a couple pictures of me while I was using a borrowed Canon 1D and 300mm f/2.8 so he could prove to people that I did infact use canon once in a while (not by my own choice mind you, long story) I'll post those pictures up when I get to them. I've got 3000 pictures from the last 2 days to go through. *ouch* Jun 05 05 07:47 pm Link |
