I get most of my faves on flickr from idiots who run spambots and man do they post the most boring poo poo imaginable.
Except this one guy with like ten photos which are really good lego star wars scenes

You guys. I've found the best photographer.

It started with a run of the mill craigslist post.



Generic, run of the mill entitled idiot baby post. But then I clicked on the website link.

Guys, he's an Emmy Award Winning Director And Photographer.




and liberally sprinkles Silicon Valley meaningless jargon into his writing. And has that weird life-coach-who-is-robbing-you-blind tone.




But he's an EMMY AWARD WINNER. He must have some serious Directing and Photography (cinematography) chops, right?



That's right, ten years ago he had some unknown amount of involvement in this:

This is all the qualification needed to call yourself an :smug:Emmy Award Winning Director And Photographer:smug::



Look at all those Emmy Award Winners! So by extension, everyone working at Blizzard is an Emmy Award Winner. The unpaid intern driving the dailies over to South Park Studios is an Emmy Award Winner.

And of course an IMDB page that he definitely did not make himself:

Not sure what you're trying to say, but I quite like his work I'm seeing on the link you posted? And I'm pretty sure IMDb credits are created/added by the production people who put the movie/show up on IMDb. The only thing you as artist can do is contact IMDb to get credits merged because quite often production people are terrible and create a new entry for you. At least that's what happens to me all the time :(

Yeah this is a thread for bad photographers, not bad people. And going by the work in his portfolio he's not a bad photographer at all, just a dude who's too cheap to actually pay a personal trainer.

You aren't kidding. I just noticed a pedophile that's following me. This dudes pictures are of him doing poo poo in his underwear:

https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/25249413@N02/

It weirded me out a bit so I started looking at the people he is following. Every single one I looked at has young kids in their stream. Families, young girls, etc. I'm gonna have to spend the next couple days switching most of my poo poo to private. I'm probably a dumbass for leaving pictures of my kids and family public, but it really has me weirded out.

Edit: yeah this dudes a loving perv. He has creepy pics of random young girls in his stream.

Name no picture of a child anything that a search for children will show them. I shoot lots of elementary school kids for birthday headshots. Date only for the name. Too scary, otherwise.

I don't get it. What seems to be the problem? The photos are really good, excellent composition and editing. They are leagues ahead of the creepy underpants selfie shooting old fart who also posts photos of young girls he obv took without asking. Or Russian weddings.

Solid reportage... nice documentary style.. digging the date imprints. Really gives the viewer a sense of when the photo was taken.. very journalistic. I look at one of his pieces and it's like, 'I'm seeing exactly what this guy saw on that day'.

That's probably why he chose Nikon. You can't get that kind of immersive realism from lovely Canon sensors.
