1.) Posing like a "model" on the train tracks

2.) Outdoor setting desaturated and a big brightly colored flower in hair

3.) Bra and Panties with a Gun - high plastic body look, of course


What overused photo style/pose/attire are you sick of seeing?

let us not forget the ever present knife...

The Obligatory Cliche Photo - protect yourself

I don't get the "protect yourself" part of this.  What does that mean?

So, does this image cause you to have an involuntary protein spill?

Whoo hoo! I haven't done any of them.

I hate:
*Selected colouring
*The "American Beauty" rose petals shot

Thankfully, I've definitely avoided the latter and - as far as I know - have never used any selected colouring shots that photographers give me thinking I'm gonna go mad for them!

They both seem to be two of the shots that photographers think are some kind of "must do" to prove they're really a photographer or something. Christ knows why.

Oh, and I also hate that crappy 1980s-esque "holding the hair up" thing that photographers seem to think is sexy as! I mean the holding it up and away from the head, really messy, like you've been electrocuted or something. I actually refuse to do it in the completely full on way, it never looks good...! I don't know if it really classes as a cliche though

If it had a gun, I could die happy

Grouch.

I am sticking my tongue out at you, but I don't know how to make an emoticon for it.

Well, it has been a couple of days since I've seen one of these threads. I don't really worry about what other people shoot.

Note to self:  people will hate every thread I ever post because I haven't been here as long as them.

sick of it and yet still fueling them by posting in them... hmmm... come on you love the drama don't lie

I have.  But other people created them and posting them here would open them up for critiques, so I'm not going to.

They're out there.

Anyway, as another poster said above, I almost never get ruffled over what other people shoot.  I'm far too self-absorbed and fascinated by what I'm shooting.

Yeah, he will be missed. I've been quoting him all week, because I'm a modern man.
