[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 209001, member: 11881"] Just got done looking at a friends website and didn't know this person did people photography as a business. I am absolutely reeling at the horrible pictures. I have turned out better with an old 110 film camera. Focus bad! Color wrong! Post work? Doesn't look like it! Body parts, heads, faces completely overexposed and blown out! Composition, what's that? However, what truly KILLS me is that their are customers praising the work. They think it's great!?! What? Huh? Did I pass out? I thought they commented the photography was great? Woops, here's that woozy feeling again and the floor is approaching rapidly! And this isn't the first time I've seen this done. It was about two years ago I helped out another person who had no idea how to edit or compose their photos. But again, people were loving these pictures and more people lined up for this person to shoot them. I don't understand how even the typical sheeple can't look at a photo and see that it's bad. I admit, I can not match colors that go together well, but there are things that are so obvious that even the color matching challenged such as myself can recognize it. But in the consumer world of buying family photos people are blind to even the most obvious of bad photography. AAAH! I don't understand? Have so many bad cell phone pictures been taken by people that anything coming out of a real camera is considered great even if the operator has no idea how to use such equipment? Breathing deeply now. [/QUOTE]
