Sijun Forums :: View topic - OMIGOD, I'm outta my mind. Another session with a super cuti

Lunatique · Posted: Sun Oct 21, 2001 7:08 am

Yes, you know it. I just shot ANOTHER session of a super cutie(ex-actress). You guys are gonna love her.

BTW, girls, if you boyfriend/hubby shoots photo-session of cute girls on a regular basis, would it bother you? What if he's a fashion/glamour photographer? Just wondering.

12, 17 and 09 are really nice. =}

Jezebel · Posted: Sun Oct 21, 2001 10:10 am

Very nice =)

I don't think it would bother me as long as my bf didn't run around calling all his models "supercuties". *grin*

I think I can tell whether or not the relationship is strictly professional, and if it is I will be ok with it (after all, he would have to deal with me drawing nudes). It would be nice if my bf was interested in photographing me as well... I dunno, so I wouldn't feel left out or unattractive

Nice stuff man.

FireFry · Posted: Sun Oct 21, 2001 10:44 am

Lots of nice shots you got there. Do you do this professionaly or just as a hobbie?

Ragnarok · Posted: Sun Oct 21, 2001 1:30 pm

Great shots =)
I dig your style, because I think you have one, your photos are smooth and gave a feeling of intimacy.
Also, the light is very well used and the composition is in general quite good, imho.
I like them =)

I am not a girl, but it would bother me a lot. I like all of your photography works. But I have a question for you: If you want to take a few shots of a street scene, and there are people on it, how would you do it so those bystanders won't go berserk on you?I'm asking this because I'm currently trying to capture the ugliest parts of my city on film, and people there are usually pretty mean..

You're doing alright photography, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Why not try and do something unique?

I couldn't say what, that would be for you to figure out.
You seem to have such a passion for it, but don't really go beyond what most people could do with a semi-good camera and nice lightning.
I'm not dissing your work, just saying that I think you're not using your full potential.

I just started photographing my own models. (Yes, in the nude.) And my fiancee is totally cool with it. On the other hand she's really cool about a lot of things.

**Runs off to look at photos.**

Jezebel- generally, I wouldn't be attracted to someone I felt no interest in photographing, so no problem there.

I definitely would photograph my other half.

FireFry- I'm doing it as a passion, and if I can get some pro gigs, I would take it, but I'm not going out of my way to rep myself. I'm in the middle of shooting a cosmetic ad campaign, and even though I'm not getting paid for it, it'll be my first photo-gig that will be seen by the mass public.

Ahcri- do it undercover style. Wrap your camera in something(paper bag, jacket..etc), and start shooting. If you need a tripod, you are shit outta luck. . ..

A.Buttle- I've got two words for you--Playboy, and Penthouse.

digiGen- believe me, I think about it a lot, and I've tried scenery, torn buildings, old/tattered people, children..etc. The truth is, I enjoy photographing attractive women the most, and if I were to go pro eventually, I would take the fashion photography route. I like photography that makes a statement, but I'm not sure if I'm interested in doing that myself at this point. Maybe one day I'll suddently be inspired to do something very different, but right now, I'm simply inspired by attractive people. I've been experiementing on and off with new ideas, but I'm not in a hurry to impress anyone. Some of my favorite photographers take similar photos to the style I take, except they do it much better. Maybe I like simple fashion photography? I don't know.

Malachi Maloney- Aren't cool gf's awesome?

Lunatique · Posted: Mon Oct 22, 2001 8:14 pm

Vgta- thanks for the link!!

Jezebel- Ahhhh. I love that stuff too! I like fashion photography because it's beautiful yet artsy at the same time. Those pics you posted require careful planning and good setting(not mentioning professional equipment). I'm not sure if my camera can produce pictures of that quality. It's just an Olympus C3030Z! I will definitely try to make some significant breakthrough--can't disappoint my fellow Sijun buds, right?

Have you tried some really exotic fashion photography luna?

Personally I love some of the wild things those people do. Here's some examples of what I mean:

Wow! I really like your pictures, not to mention the models. Really beautiful and inspiring.

Depends on how you use it. If you are using it as photo-reference for professional work, then my answer would be "no," but if you are just using it for practice, then my answer is "yes."

If it is professional work, and your work is loosely based on a photo of mine, but not too closely similar, then I think it's ok. (For example: it's the same pose as my photo, but you gave her a different outfit, with wings, a sword, and a different hair style..etc.}

Lunatique, you are truly a pimp. You are my new god, I love you and looking more of your photography of female human body work.

Lunatique · Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2001 7:55 am

Hehehe. You make me giggle.

I've got a huge batch of new stuff I Just shot today, and I'll be uploading them in a day or two.

Your eyes will POP when you see the new session. I PROMISE.

Get rid of that java script.

Lunatique · Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2001 9:02 pm

dr. bang- Err, may I suggest a porno mag? I doubt the kind of photography I do could arouse that kind of reaction. In fact, if I HAD to shoot a porno session, I'll probably laugh so hard at the spread-eagle shots that I'd drop my camera. . ..

S4Sb- Dude, I can't code to save my life. I use Dreamweaver 4, and that javascript error is beyond my comprehension.
