Enough already, im sick of it

Rant:





I am sooo fuggin tried of seeing this pose from all you so called "models". I'm tired of scrolling down my feed and seeing every female with some T&A calming to be a model. THIS IS NOT MODELING, this is showing your ass. Looking though your so called port and 8/10 pics is your ass to the camera looking over your shoulders.
 
I'm also tired of black women that so called wanting to be models taking this route. There are other ways of modeling w/o your ass hanging out. Commercial (like the girls in your JC penny, walmart, any print ad advertisement, that's also modeling, and paid work) Fashion, Editorial it's all kinds of other types.
 
And if eye candy is the route you want to go then fine, but at least work out your body and find a photog that can shoot you decent pictures. It's 90% bad pictures floating around fb. I'm talking total crap. Orange skin, terrible skin edits, cut off limbs, bad rat head weaves all kinds of crap.
 
Some of you 300pounds women have the nerve to throw on eye candy outfits and poke your ass out, it's not sexy its sicking. How many of you women even wanted to be a model until you seen some ass pictures on facebook and thought hey i can do this too.
 
Shout out to the real models out here that understands what it takes to be a model, the women who study modeling, who practice for hours in the mirror. Who knows what a real photographers work suppose to look like. I love you all and wish u success in your career or grind to make it one.
 
Delete me, report me or block me I don't care but it had to be said.
I blanked out this face on the girl out of respect to her picture. But it really doesnt matter cuz you'll see millions more of this pose today. Bet me on that.

Late Entry #2 - New MUA and 2 head shot shoots

Working with a new MUA on the set today, decided to try out Kiaira after a friend of her's told me how good she is. I decided to give her a chance, and i like the results of the shoot. First we worked with one of my favorite Muses Simone. Check out Key at work in this BTS shot.


After she finished with Simone, she went straight to work on the next client, but ill get back to her in a moment. After make up completed Simone and i went right to the studio room for the shoot. Check out the BTS of that, i swear i have the smallest studio on the earth, but you'd never know it once you see the results of the finished project. I love having new clients come over and say "Damnnnn you shoot here, i thought you had one of them big ass studio's". May that be a lesson to all new Photogs, use the space you have available, stop with the excuses, make that shit work for you until you cant no more.


I'll post the results from this shoot as they become available in a future blog.

After we wrapped up our 1st shoot of the day we went to work with Kiara, no that's not a misspelling we had 2 "Keys" on set. Kiaira the MUA and Kiara our next client, so you can only image how confusing that could get. 


After Make up was done off to the studio for round 2, Kiara has a beautiful smile and i loved her personality, really good to work with. Check other BTS shot of the light set up and space, pics will be posted later as well.


That was my day for Saturday the 26th, had a nice month to wrap up, met alot of good people and made some long term relationships though networking.
Until later im out, be sure to check out the website for some of my work and book your shoot with Lov is Lov.






Late Entry #1- New Continuous lights (Hot lights)

Just ordered and received a new pair of hot lights via ebay... If you you dont know nothing about anything, shop ebay 1st before you spend any money the deals are amazing. Anyway picked up a new light for only $31 dollars. Here is the link if you want that deal.


These are a good set of lights and i recommend any and all Photographers and Videographers to always have at least a pair. You never know when your going to need them. I use these lights for everything, place a nice umbrella on it and defuse some of the light because it is hard strong light, shit that's 500watts right at your ass. I use them on Video sets, when my MUA needs to do make up on a client, webcam brightness anything, just pick you up a pair. Oh and the light stands are NOT included.

Here are some pics i took of them after its shipped and placed on a light stand.
