With all of the hamfisted fuckery they couldn’t make the dogs less obese? What an amateur oversight. Details matter!

These pictures got posted all over Reddit and they're pretty serious about doxxing over there, so pretty much anything that gets posted has names blacked out.

President Beep posted:This sort of problem seems like it’d be pretty self-regulating. Like, this person’s “work” is out there for everyone to see. A good photographer (not me, lol) should probably be maintaining a robust online portfolio to point potential clients to. One would think! Then again people hire someone like this lady and the cycle continues, somehow. I really don't know why, because it doesn't take more than 5-10 minutes to poke around the internet to find someone's portfolio, and if they have no real work (or it seems stolen, I guess that's the hard part to prove if you're not the average non-internet user under 50 - but in that case you probably know a pro photographer who shoots with an iPhone already  ), but in that case you just move on and find the next person to hire.President Beep posted:After having some time to digest this, I’m beginning to think that this photographer has some kind of neurological/psychological issue with how they perceive the human face.

After having some time to digest this, I’m beginning to think that this photographer has some kind of neurological/psychological issue with how they perceive the human face. Like, some people suffer from face blindness. This poor soul might see everyone as grotesque elephant people, and their only recourse is to totally obscure the terrible visages with MS Paint.

Additionally to this, most people do not know anything about photography or what makes a good photo. Obviously, egregiously terrible stuff like this is going to get noticed, but 90% of people buying photo services will be pretty happy with something that would make most of us wince. I've seen all kinds of over-sharpened, spot-coloured, clarity slider abusing, saturated to poo poo pictures that my friends were super happy to have paid money for. It's what I call grandma pics, My mum wanted a picture of her grandkids to put on her mantelpiece, so my sister sent her a picture she'd taken on her phone (the grandkids are my sister's kids in this case). It's a terrible picture because it's taken in a hurry, the kids are moving too fast, the levels are all over the place, the background is distracting and it's not completely in focus. Nevertheless, because it has her grandkids in it, it's her favourite photo. She came to visit me last year and was interested in my cameras and the photos I'd taken. She showed me my sister's photo and asked if I could get that one printed for her at the place where I get my gallery stuff done...

ianskate posted:At least her rate wasn't $25/shoot... but it's also a great reminder about what's wrong with this industry, and why being a "professional photographer" is a dead-end pursuit these days. If this is the playing field, what in gods name are we all doing here? Pretty much why I got out of it after digital exploded. Over a span of two years I lost 90% of my contract work to kids with $9 hourly rates and no rights retention. Kinda hard to compete with that, but oh well times change I had fun while it lasted.

To extend the man about as much fairness as I'm willing to give, the President's desk has got to be, in the normal course of affairs, a nightmare of opsec considerations and possible classified information. Better to clear it off completely for the photo-op unless you want to risk this kind of thing. Or you could shoot it from a low angle, like this:  but that seems beyond the current photographer.

There's photos of Obama taking a call on an empty desk too, so I guess it's just a thing that happens. But Obama's photos aren't composed like someone whipped an iPhone out of their pocket and sort of centered the subject in the middle of the frame.

I'm often pissing and moaning that I don't have anything interesting to take pictures of, and here this person goes around taking pictures of vending machines at night, and they're really neat to look at. Lesson to self: Look around. The subjects are there.

This photographer is the best photographer. Started off by taking a handful of moody plant photos with an iPhone.  But there was something more inside. A creative urge that needed to be focused and directed. If a picture is worth 1000 words... how many words is a picture with words worth? Maybe George R.R. Martin knows; he's written and sold millions of words.  Some commentators have called this one a misappropriation of someone else's work. It has a lot of universal meaning, though, and I think the artist in question really makes it their own by adding a group tag.  Can you tell this is photoshopped? Probably not. Only the artist knows for sure.  This powerful image is both a satire of modern commercial sentimentalism and an expression of economic anxiety in the face of increasing workplace automation.  all grown ups were once children but only few of them remember it the most beautiful thing in the wo by Arnis Gashi, on FlickrBut if there's an ultimate unifying theme in this entire corpus, it's simply that  Eagle home by Arnis Gashi, on Flickrhome of Eagle is Albania Haven't fully deconstructed this last one yet, but I'm pretty sure once again that it's satire - this time of American imperialism, particularly as it relates to the NATO intervention in the former Yugoslavia during the mid 1990's.
