Luke, I love you but please... - 12/06/06 02:31 PM
Luke, I don't know man. I've kinda held my tongue as a professional courtesy, but man please work on the photography. You are in a position of access to get good photos of people, but you are just not doing the right thing.
I'm not sure if you deliberately post bad pictures so that you can make the porn folks look bad, or if you just really have no eye for this...
But here's some tips!
1) COMPOSITION! Dude. Your composition is god awful. Think about what you are framing in the shot and why.
2) Stop with the extreme closeups. They are just terrible. I don't think there is ever a reason to post a closeup of two peoples' heads.
3) What is with the cropping? When you take a picture, compose it so that it needs as little cropping as possible. It's my opinion if thought and care goes into the actual shot you don't need to crop it at all. Maybe you are cropping some of the pics and that makes your closeups appear so extreme...
4) Why post the blurry, out of focus pictures? I am sure that plenty of 'real world' photographers get pictures that are messed up, out of focus, and poorly composed. Their secret to success, however, is they don't post them. They toss them!
5) When you go to an event Luke, sit down afterwords with your pictures and pull out the best 20 or so and post them! We don't need 13 pictures of the exact same pairings, it's not like we're disecting the Zapruder film looking for the 4th bullet. One or two pics will do.
Anyways, I just want to see ya do better, Allah willing.
