Re: [Leica] Why fashion photography sucks

[Ted Grant <tedgrant@shaw.ca>]

Gee some of you guys seem to have a twisted attitude about fashion
photography and fashion shooters. Yep some of those folks who do
nothing but fashion have major attitude ego problems, but the cool thing is,
you guys don't have to be the models having to deal with the egos! . ;-)

And like who cares about their stereotyped photography copying each other as
soon as one guy uses a certain pose, the Lemmings are sure to follow.

The not too many times I've done fashion, Toronto, Ottawa and of course
where else? Paris!!!  Like yeah man, Paris, France! Cool adventure those
ones. :-) No I wont tell any of the " a gentleman never tells" kind of
events. ;-)
But damn they were good! :-)

I always had a great time with the models as I treated them like human
beings. No attitude problems for me as I don't do attitude, in other words I
don't have time for people with big attitudes, life's way too short and
we need to have as much fun while we whistle through it.

Oh and egos? jeeesh some of those dames are worse than the guys shooting
the pictures. So it's a kind of two way street, they deserve each other, the
rest of us just had a great time shooting neat pictures, wearing fine
clothes & looking cool! :-) However, no matter how well I was paid it was
never my thing as photography, because there's too many hangers on fluffing
their feathers to make like they are important people. Like who cares!

More fun and less stressful shooting wars and real life than dealing with
prima donnas and assholes who think they're somebody.
