I'm constantly amazed and never disappointed by the deluge of charlatans out there masquerading as "photographers". I'm working on a design brief currently: A site to promote the enigma that is -wait for it- Blackpool, and, a personal site. Subsequently, I've been looking at many photographers websites.
Thought I'd google 'Fine art photographer' (this is where my interest lies), holy shit! you'd not believe the crap that presented itself. One in particular, although good, if you like that kind of thing, y'know, an HDR'd to death record of your wedding day... I feel compelled to share, possibly not by name for fear of prosecution. He doesn't specialise in photography, but, instead 'Emotionography' (provider of). This registered very high indeed on my twatometer, I won't lie. Picture it: Bride and groom strolling along a golden lit sun kissed beach in the evening, sorry, meant, overcast beach, wedding dress bellowing in the breeze, the 'emotionographers' signature in font above; he's a twat just for that actually, never mind calling himself an 'emotionographer'.
Hope I don't find myself in court for what I've just said.
I'm new to all this, I haven't studied photography at National Diploma level and this is my first time using design software, but, I have eyes and taste so this qualifies me inordinately to pass judgement on the afore mentioned 'artists'.
Next time I log-in to discover I have one solitary follower, hope it's not Mr Lee. (Ooops).
