In Response To: critiques here (Dianne Bennett)

Are you looking for a photo critique or a modeling critique? It's difficult to be on both sides of the camera.

Here you will find photographers ranging from amateurs, to glamour photographers shooting artistic nudes on the weekends, to a few shooters with art gallery and publication credits.

My opinion, and I just throw this up for discussion... If a photograph fails, it's probably the fault of the artist. Whereas, in a glamour photograph, a talented and experienced model can make even an amateur photographer look good.

What I look for in an artist's model is somebody who is confident, can express themselves with body language, and knows how they see themselves. Bonus points for models who don't mind being covered with chocolate syrup.

: the patience for a struggling newbie who is

: That said, I'd love any input on any of the

: problem with the feedback that I was getting
: in other places was that it seemed like no
: one really had any idea what artistic
: photography even was.

: As for art being a matter of opinion, I agree
: wholeheartedly. Now if I could only figure
: out how to be an artistic model with out the
: help of an artist, not that I'd really want
: to because the interaction is half the fun
: for me.

: Thanks,
