Photographers not posting images

I also take time to arrange them in a certain order, and certain albums. I try to show variety - not just quantity or being new. If a new shot is similar to something I already have, I may decide to use only 1, in which case I have to make a choice. Plus I tend to update only every few months when I have several shots to add. When i do this, it often means revamping the overall look of the portfolio, which takes some time. There are 2 models I have shot with numerous times - neither of them post any of the shots I taken with them. For the most part, they are marketing themselves in a different direction than what we shot, and they have limited slots, so I completely understand that. Jul 02 12 11:00 am Link You post what is best for your portfolio and the market you are chasing and I will do the same for my book. More likely than not, those are not the same images if any at all. Do not be offended it is just business. Jul 04 12 06:31 pm Link Annalise Blackwood wrote: Good question, I have had this too. What makes it really curious is that I have had paid shoots with photographers where they come back to me several times for more pics. Or I even have TF shoots where the photographer asks to shoot with me again several tims. So if they are paying me and/or they come back to me and several times I would have to assume they like the pics so I wonder why they don't get posted.

Aug 04 12 08:46 pm Link The photographer may feel that the photo does not add anything to their current portfolio. They may feel that others are just as good or better. Also if you put it online it can then be more easily stolen. You may sacrifice some, but keep others safe. Aug 04 12 09:29 pm Link nobody wants to network ....

It's useful because I'm delivering what the model presumably liked from my portfolio but most of the time in spite of any rapport we had or how well the shoot turned out it is often too similar to my existing work. There's consistency and there's being in a rut, and often times if I really enjoyed working with the model I'll call him/her back to shoot again to try something different even if I'm Not using the stuff we've shot before.

I frequently visit the website and folios of photographers and I'm always suprised to see that 6-12-24 months later the exact same images are on their website/folio. I hope it has to do with being too busy to update, rather than not being bothered, or taking years to get some decent shots to update with. After all, it's not much incentive to do a TF shoot with someone that can't be botherd to update their showcase, or can't get good shots. Aug 05 12 04:11 pm Link |
