Who decides whos "beautiful?"
I just wanted to know what people thought.. I have noticed that there are more male photographers than female which could mean that males decide in our society what is beautiful in a woman. Do you agree? The male seems to have control over what we see in the media, while women try to immulate his idea. Thoughts anyone?? Jul 01 07 12:07 am Link I decide who I think is beautiful. Jul 01 07 12:07 am Link hm but isn`t the female usually the one in the picture... Jul 01 07 12:08 am Link Monica Jay wrote: Same here..

Women are almost like accessories when it comes to "fashion" and "beauty" one year you're in, the next year you're out, lol. In my opinion, this typically works with the mass of people that HAVE to be told what to like. Jul 01 07 12:10 am Link Me. What I think is beautiful is going to be different from what everyone else thinks is beautiful. And that's the beauty of it all. Jul 01 07 12:10 am Link RSM-images wrote: "the man" indeed. Jul 01 07 12:11 am Link by the way, i think you are quite gorgeous.. Jul 01 07 12:13 am Link I agree that the photography world seems to be overrun by our male counterparts, but I also think that men have a more favorable view of women than fellow females do. I've gotten many more compliments and work requests from male photographers, citing that they like my look because it's "different" or "cute". I've found that we women judge each other very harshly, not only in modeling, but in all facets of life. Just an personal observation, and I'm interested to hear others' experiences. Jul 01 07 12:13 am Link Women are stronger now, in every aspect of the media, than ever before...give it time, it's a trend that has legs.... Jul 01 07 12:13 am Link Beauty is subjective. Jul 01 07 12:14 am Link This has to be the silliest question I've heard in my two years here. Jul 01 07 12:15 am Link Bruce you seemed to have understood a bit what I was throwing out there... I basically wanted to know if women had more power in deciding who is beautiful than they may like to think. In my opinion, men decide who's beautiful and what's funny is that women actually compete with and try to impress other women a lot of times more than impressing the men.

Jul 01 07 01:33 am Link I was just thinking about that today, yes when i see a photographer on here who is female it does seem rare. But I always look at thier ports because I always like to see how a female photographer photographs women and how they may differ. I guess its who can shoot a woman better a male or female photographer. I think the work is simmular but it can be different. Thats why this site is so great, there is a huge diversity of models and photographers. I think all styles of photography are great. I am in no way a fan of the cookie cutter photography style. To me the so called, "playboy" style or Maxim style is fine, but thank god not all photographers shoot that way and thank god not all models look like that. I love candy store photography. All of the photos and women I have seen on here are all beautiful, now do they all fit the "model" type, no. But thats what makes it great. As far as male models, of course most are handsome but male models are not as diverse as females. Jul 01 07 01:34 am Link Cretia Nicole wrote: Have you ever taken a look at the masthead of Vogue?

Everyone I've ever talked to who has gotten a degree in photography says that there are more women than men in the classes.

As some people say, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder... Jul 01 07 01:50 am Link AND... Ah, oh yeah, you are all wrong!!!! Jul 01 07 01:53 am Link Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...
