most overused photo concepts or themes!
while browsing portfolios today I thought of this when I saw a couple of male models who had a tight close up shot of their abs from the neck down and waist up in their port. Like we couldn't see their washboard abs with just a regular full body shirtless shot. lol I know I've seen concepts I've tried to copy in my own way. What have you seen? Feb 19 07 09:31 pm Link Using humans in modeling shots. Feb 19 07 09:35 pm Link These color prints are out of control! One guy does it, and now EVERYONE is taking images in color. It's so overdone. Feb 19 07 09:38 pm Link Train tracks anyone? If I see one more model standing over traintracks, I'm going to go lie down on some!! Oh wait, and the toilet/bathtub thing is getting a little old. Do I REALLY need to see models pretending to pee with their knees together and stiletto heels? Or a cheap excuse to get a naked woman in a bathtub.... oh wait, it's ART! And flowers. No more flower pictures. Feb 19 07 09:42 pm Link I wanted to do a shoot with a snake but I see it more and more everyday. Now I changed my mind Feb 19 07 09:44 pm Link Thingys glued to models thingys! Feb 19 07 09:45 pm Link What's the deal with your avatar? Feb 19 07 09:46 pm Link Wolf189 wrote: ROTFLMFAO!

Feb 19 07 09:47 pm Link Train tracks, Laundry mats, and grave yards. Enough with the freakin' Grave yards!!

Feb 19 07 09:51 pm Link While I still love bathtub shots (dang, have that in my profile) most of this thread is making me laugh. Was the guy who said color serious? B and W is so overdone and what is the challenge there? I may be a little off topic here, but my most over seen thing here is profiles that claim they are not into doing nude shots, followed up by the first shot in their port is their legs over their head with a short skirt on. C'mon ladies, a well done nude shot is far less sexual than that type of photo.

That was sarcasm lol. Feb 19 07 09:54 pm Link Cre8tivImages wrote: That one can be done well. Feb 19 07 09:55 pm Link Trevor Snyder wrote: They all can be well done.

Feb 19 07 09:59 pm Link What's the deal with all of these photographs being shot with lenses on the cameras? You know when Gerolomo Cardano was doing it there was an originality to it. Now.......it's SOOOOOO overdone. Feb 19 07 10:01 pm Link If I see one more so called artistic shot with just a body part..like legs or something, I am gonna...oh...ooopppps.. My bad.. DOH!

OMGROFL!! that's friggin awesome and they're so friggin cute too!!! awwww.... Feb 19 07 11:31 pm Link Bump... those pics are too awesome..

Painting clothes on a naked model with an airbrush is concept which is overused...and really kinda silly. Feb 20 07 12:19 am Link |
