Sagebrush posted:So what's the non-horny reason that you have all these photos of young conventionally attractive half naked women? (And one young conventionally attractive half naked man). because I like the photos? for lots of different reasons, and often I couldn’t tell you why, I just know I do. I sometimes wonder if this is a reason I am quite average (as opposed to good) photographer, because I often just wing it and hope I get some good photos, because I sort of don’t know what I am doing, I just know what I like when I see it. for example the photo of the woman with red curly hair and woollen jumper and glasses. not horny at all, but I super love that photo. can I tell you why? I don’t have that insight also, theres only actually a few images amongst all I posted that are “half naked”. I can see why some people would think some are a bit horny, but coming out the gate with nothing else to say about those images except to say they think they’re horny just makes me wonder quote:Got any beautiful pictures on your timeline of, I don't know, old women making dumplings? Fat construction workers? Bus drivers and lunch ladies? no, and I don’t really want any. i’m not a street photographer, or a real life photographer. i’m not trying to capture real life or strive for any kind of balance. I am not trying for any intersectionality points. I repost photos that inspire me in the sense that I wish it was my photo or I’d like to have a shot at doing something similar myself. and also cultivating a set of images so people who are interested in my photography can get an idea for the kinds of photos I’d like to do, so if they hit me up about photos they can see what kind of work we could do. it’s like how an artist can draw pictures of anything they want. the photography I am interested in doing is basically fantasy, the only reason to make it resemble real life would be self imposed. I have read criticisms of illustrators because they only draw slim people and fat people aren’t represented, for example. but this is my photography and I just wanna take photos of what I like, and if it involves a model, take photos the model will be stoked to have.

it sounds like you just have a different idea of where the line for "horny" is drawn than the rest of the thread. like you think that horny means explicitly sexual, softcore pornography perhaps, etc. okay, let's drop that term. most of the thread thinks that these photos you're posting are intended to be...salacious. titillating. the academic term for it would be "erotica." do you disagree?echinopsis posted:for example the photo of the woman with red curly hair and woollen jumper and glasses. not horny at all, but I super love that photo. can I tell you why? I don’t have that insight right, not horny at all, except that she's a beautiful young woman with bright red lipstick and heavy blush and smoky eyes and messy bedroom hair gazing sensually into the distance

qirex posted:why is every trendy insta photographer afraid of the color black all I can tell you is that when I A/B my own photos with regular “full” black vs raised blacks, I almost always prefer the raised blacks I’ve got some theories: “full black” looks cheap. these days any digital device can display deep blacks and take photos with black, so in this regard, full black looks like every day amateur snapchat photos, whereas raised blacks was traditionally a limitation of film, which is much more exclusive it also removes detail, and in some cases, challenges the notion that more detail is better. our brains will usually still see the same image (as in it’s not like it means we can’t tell what’s going on) if some shadow detail is missing, and in fact perhaps it’s a way of isolating the detail that is left it’s literally more “pleasant” I’ve had a number of people tell me the like the style of my most recent photos for the “film look” and tbh 90% of the editing is raised blacks. I don’t think they look convincingly film myself, I do prefer the look, but if the average photo enjoyer likes it then I am happy with it.

Whenever you think of "film look" you're thinking of bad lly executed prints. It also doesn't remove detail, it just squashes it into a narrower band.

I don’t think you’re wrong, but again, perhaps I’d draw different lines than others, for example, the red head one, no, not erotica at all. some people use the term glamour, and I suppose a lot of those fit into that category, but even then, I think it does it a disservice for example this photo:  is it erotica? probably, but, can’t help but feel that’s too reductionistic  is this erotica? no, there’s just some legs, in fact she’s dressed in a bath with a glass of something, I don’t even think it’s glamour, it’s some kind of fabrication of an unlikely combination of things that I just simply enjoy  this is straight up glamour I suppose. this is my photo. it doesn’t tell much of a story, and in that regard, I wonder about how I can do more to tell a story with future images. although that’s not necessary I suppose, I do really like it as does she, so maybe it’s fine? this is my analysis.

Sagebrush posted:Oh and re. this. Are you saying that you can't make dreamy fantasy images unless it's pictures of young attractive girls? what I mean by fantasy is that it’s purely my choice what I want to share and photograph, and that I acknowledge it doesn’t represent a slice of the actual real world, otherwise it would have elderly people and etc. It’s valuable some people aim to do that, but it’s not what I am interested in trying to achieve. I don’t mean fantasy in a lord of the rings way, perhaps it’s the wrong word Megabound posted:Lifted blacks look like film not because it's a limitation of film but because of the quality of drug store prints most people associate with the film era, it's emulating cheapness and lack of effort. Whenever you think of "film look" you're thinking of bad lly executed prints. It also doesn't remove detail, it just squashes it into a narrower band. well even if it does just fake cheap film prints, it’s kinda achieving what it’s going for and also idk what you mean by not removing detail. if I use the hard line raised black method, that means all the detail that exists between brightness 0-15 has been raised to 15. if there was detail let’s say a flower but it’s brightness was contained between 8-14 well then bringing all those values <15 to 15 means all of that data is lost. it’s all just 15 now quote:Getting feedback that people like photos of attractive young women isn't surprising, it's all in the most prominent visual language that we are all exposed to every day of our lives, advertising. You see it in everything from selling you glasses to influencers everywhere. Of course people like it, we're taught to and it takes nothing to engage with. perhaps. and maybe it means at this stage in my journey i’m using the easiest option, but tbf, the people giving me the feedback and telling me they’re interested in trying to recreate a photo (for example) are people in that demographic themselves. like it’s not dudes going “drat that chick is hot” but people (usually women) “that big coat looks so glamorous”, regardless, instagram is absolutely chocka with unashamed horny content, where the model looking hot is all that matters. I am really trying for something beyond that. maybe I haven’t gotten very far, I feel like there’s a decent gap, the reaction from the thread makes me feel like others don’t feel the same as me. I really do feel like the images I shared have value beyond pretty woman. it is interesting and makes me hesitant a bit. makes me wonder if I need to approach this differently? or maybe it’s good to hear the opinions of others but doesn’t mean I need to necessarily do anything differently. who knows. once I did a shoot and I was definitely trying to make the model look hot, show off her body, etc. some time later I kind of concluded that contemporary times has effectively infinite amounts of stuff like that, and that I didn’t want to just do what everyone else was doing, and also had a sense that I wanted to take photos that I would feel proud of showing to people in real life.

the majority of photographs of people that i enjoy are candids that capture a fleeting moment. there's some environmental portrait photography that can be really good, too, but it doesn't usually hit me in the same way. not usually a fan of staged/posed stuff except from a strictly utilitarian perspective (family portraits for example, which you can still have a lot of fun with if your family is patient)

i really, really love being a "fly on the wall" and taking candids at events, but I feel like most people do not like having their photo taken without express permission, so I feel like an ultra creeper most of the time. and then once you ask, people usually always stop to pose and that's not what i want!!! sometimes i wish i could just embrace being "the weirdo photographer" and not give a gently caress
