Alright I just turned down a photographer who wanted to shoot with me based on an image in his port..... I did not reply to his message but rather commented on the image ....this is what i said

I appreciate the interest to shoot with me....but I will have to turn it down based on this image....I find it very humiliating and disrespectful to the church and the christian faith...... *notate* I'm not religious I have respect for every faith..... and have seen alot of "art" and have the highest respect for it.... but I dont see this as art.... I just see it as disrespectful and I'm guessing the church was not aware of this.

Now I'm not really religious but its just a RESPECT THING..... I found the image very degrading and humiliating......what do you think.....

can I post a link to the image.... i'm not sure I dont want to get outed...

Don't link to the image or you'll get brigged

can i copy the image and save it in photobucket and paste it on here for you all to see

I wouldn't, it would still be an outing issue IMO

I think it's rude to turn him down by leaving a comment and not a PM. I would have never done anything like that. I think it's unprofessional and rude. Just my two cents.

hmmmm yes I should have left a PM...but am sort of outraged by the image.....and was not thinking when posted my comment...he'll most likely delete it tho..all of his other work is fair... and nice

I also, would have never turned down a talented photographer based on one image either though. If I don't like it, I don't have to shoot it. Plain and simple.

PM me the link to the picture?

darn...that sucks....ok i'll describe it

2 women inside a church both women are nude..one woman is hanging on the cross.. with a painted glass window in the background... ( she has the crown thorn thing on her head - the makeup was done magnificently kudos to the MUA ) and the other woman is hugging her

talent or no talent I dont care.... It's a respect thing...I dont do this for a living...I do this as a hobby therefore I CHOOSE who I want to shoot with ..... I've shot with many many different photographers.... from all aspects but this image just crossed the line for me

Some would considered that stealing which is worse than unsolicited critique.

How about if you just describe it?

add me to the "it was unprofessional" list. 


you have every right to choose who you shoot with for any number of reasons, you could have turned him down in PM rather than leaving a tag for the next visitor to his images to see/read.

ya krysta said the same thing..... i was wrong in doing that.... I admit.. sad thing with me is that when I get angered I dont really give a shishkabob

but the tag can be deleted.

true.

but if the photographer doesn't spend as much time on the internet as say... me.. then it's possible he might not see it for several hours or more...

I do that all the time. Gets me in trouble. Just remember to think. Breathe. Relax. Then type.

Sounds like a fantastic image. There are better ways to turn someone down though.

We have different opinions on this issue. I think religion is crap, so something like that wouldn't bother me.

Phoenix1 wrote:

Well you did just disrespect the photographer (in my opinion) by leaving a tag so everyone can see.

after all the religious threads that seem to have finally died down I hesitated with posting this thread but I"m bored...and the forums have been rather blah lately...lol

I think that was the best thing you could have done. Then again i dont think anyone here thinks your a backstabber, just a laps of judgment in this case.

whether I leave a tag or not.... comments are there for a reason are they not? and just because someone doesnt post the comment doesn't mean that they dont think it.....every image is there to be critiqued....I've had others leave bad comments on my images before.... i'm fine with it.....no big deal.....it makes me stronger and it also helps me learn.
