The sad part is that he's got some decent ideas with composition (a few a bit generic, but others I genuinely like). But that editing... yeesh.

The cpu5555 redditor saga reminds me of the scene from "Disaster Artist" where against the advice of the pros, Tommy Wiseau wants to buy film equipment rather than rent it.

Pro: Alright, fine, whatever. Film or digital?
Tommy Wiseau: Both.

A gem of a movie about another gem of a movie if you haven't seen either.

I think this is my favorite trivia from The Room, he wasn't sure if film would be obsolete by the time they finished production, so he had the crew shoot on film and digital simultaneously. Incredible.

It's your own bloody fault.


Let's ignore the politics and concentrate on the photograph.

I feel that the photographer has just given up on his art and is deliberately halfassing it. When you can't you can't be bothered to even level an image, you've given up.

Trump demands his photographer use the bigliest lens possible. The photographer was fully zoomed out and standing against the wall outside the doorway when the picture was taken.

The best part is there are literally a million pictures of this composition out there going back decades, so loving it up can only be attributed to willful ignorance.

Someone got in good with the president, landed a job in the whitehouse, got the security clearance to be in the oval office, and made the conscious decision that publishing snapshots a beginner would take the first time they unboxed their DSLR is good enough.

You got me curious as to whether this were the case and it turns out that they Whitehouse : does have a legit photographer

quote:

The new administration does have an official photographer in Shealah Craighead, who was hired in late January. She was the personal photographer for first lady Laura Bush, as well as the photo editor for Vice President Dick Cheney. So far very few of her photos have been published. The majority exist in one 50-image gallery on the president’s official Facebook page or are scattered around Instagram. A few others seem to show up in the graphics created for the official @POTUS Twitter account. Wherever they can be found, the pictures we see appear to show Craighead has little in the way of special access to Trump.


However:

quote:

Instead of leveraging the White House photographer, Trump’s team has published large numbers of photos taken by phone-wielding staffers. We often see the same pic collages, thumbs-up photo ops, and phone conversation photos. This is in keeping with Trump’s campaign. Trump kept the campaign press pool on a different plane, so the only behind-the-scenes looks we got of him were informal, often taken casually and at a distance. The photos were typically blurry, underexposed, and poorly composed. The campaign appeared to prioritize graphics, screenshots of tweets, and videos over high-quality photography.

I don't get photographers that charge so little. A guy near me charges a flat rate of $100 for up to 3 hours of shooting.

The wildlife and landscape photos on his site are pretty good. Not 'I want a print of that on my wall' good, but they'd not get bagged on if he posted them here. His understanding of commas and sentence structure though is somewhere south of his understanding of aspect ratios.

People starting out at pro level often have no idea how to price their work but that's gonna be the case if you are an arts person that has never touched a business class before

That, and the cultural taboo against talking about money with actual numbers.

:v:"So, about how much do you charge for a day-long product shot?"
:)"Oh, I charge the going rate, pretty close to the average. I think it's fair and my clients do, too"
:v:"OK, but how much is that?"
:)"It depends. Sometimes it's more, because, you know, I have to hire an assistant, or they have a really tight deadline"
:v:"OK, but how much? Like, dollars?"
:)"It can seem like a lot, at first, yeah"
:v:"$10? $100? $1000... stop me when I get close"
:)"$10? What? No. More than that."
