the Colleen thread was removedroygoh said:Which thread are you referring to? I checked Tuck Loong's records and there seems to be only 1 thread that was removed, most likely due to his own request as there is another similar thread offering makeup/hair stylist services.

Deadpoet said:You actualy do not have to tell why you are shooting with a 300D and not a med format digital back. No one will care if the picture delivers. Anyway, spare batteries? Didn't bring any? Neither are we interested on what brand of lights you used.
When critics start asking questions about what equipments were used, it usually means the pictures is so ho hum, they have nothing much to say.
Back to the picture. I know you did not ask for C&C, but C&C is what you will get.
The lighting sucks. Her model's face is blown. That white furry thing, it's blown. Getting the exposure spot on is extremely important, it fundamental photography. I assume you have multiple lights and various light modifiers. This should never happen. This cannot happen for any professional photographers.
The handling of the color and skin tone sucks. The model's face and her body could very well have come from 2 different persons.
Styling, well, that thing which I assume to be the skirt, may actually be a winner, but not in this position and not how it's situated.
That red curtain at the back, is it supposed to be closed or openned. Right now, looks like the photographer did not pay any attention. Since you in your linke thread was taking big about shooting teathered, what happened? No one checked the image? Oh, I forgot, you shot with a 300D. But still, it's the art director's job if there is one on thet set, but the photographer is always responsible, to make sure all the edetails are as planned.
I thought a test shoot means a model comes in for a shoot free of charge for portfolio purposes, and the photographer is obligated to give in return, shots for her portfolio. I did not know test shoots means pictures that is not touched up. Is this a new term in the industry?
If you were trying to promote the stylist, you did a lousy job here.

sloow said:imo you should hold your peace...
in anycase, why so hostile? relax lah... ask you to C&C... not to kill a man here with your words...
-ve on your uncalled for attitude and remarks
[btw, if you really dislike the photographer, please have some professionalism to C&C his work, not him]
drumma said:i will agree with DP on what he said and he rocks. through his critiques, i see things better and those nitpicks are actually important. they can spoil a good photo. he's not rude nor arrogant. i will say he's straight-forward and i like that!
benedium said:Yours isn't criticism, yours is slamming. You do it like you are angry.
If you can slam all you want in an area that you yourself suck in, why not slam people for looking unattractive also? Isn't it because you've seen yourself in the mirror?
Shouldn't that apply to the subject of other people's photography here also?
Why don't you go on other websites and slam on other subjects, since you don't have to be good at any subject to criticize on it?
If you only wish to exercise freedom of speech, then people have a right to know that they are hearing from an old man who still desperately seeks to project a false image of authority.
What personal weakness are you trying to compensate for? What's your problem?
benedium said:Straight-forward is if someone does something to you and you tell them to back off if you don't like it. Deadpoet is not just being straight-forward. He uses derogratory terms to criticise others. Such language is unnecessary to get the points and tips across. Nobody's offended him directly. So he has no right to offend others.
In the army, my platoon had a really wimpy guy. Some of my platoon mates would wake him up in the middle of the night to drag him out of bed and lock him in the cupboard. Sure, over time, he improved and became more of a man. But do you think he should be grateful?
How about someone if takes a baseball bat and bashes Deadpoet in the head for looking and talking like an asshole? Oh it's ok as long as they throw in a few useful pointers as well?
Wake up drumma! Or are you being a dog in the face of an alpha-male type of person?
zcf said:When I first look at the photo, I think it's great, much better than any photo I can produce.
But I do find DP critic valid though, after looking for sometime and look into the details. If we can read DP C&C - @#$%^ , we can learn a lot from him.
But photography is also quite a subjective matter, we may not agree with other people view all the time. Well, as long as the photographer and the client is happy with the work, that should be sufficient. But the photographer probably can impove further by looking into those detail.
benedium said:Haha, I don't need you and don't have to deal with you, so it will never be personal. You represent an issue to me, and i'm just dealing with the issue.
You mean you are offended? How can you talk to others in that language and not get used to others talking to you in the very same language, tone and manner?
benedium said:You really should at least try to be a man of your word.
It's not always about image you know? Substance is often important too.
Don't get angry lah. I only try to talk in your language. At least I try.
I'm sure you wouldn't respect dogs that kiss your ass also right?
It's all good. Don't worry everyone, this is how Deadpoet and his friends talk to each other. Hmm... wonder where his friends are... All so quiet...
sharf said:All these discussions in this thread and the words used to snub and hit back at each other, sadly, is unhealthy.
People, we do not have to agree on everything under the sky but atleast, I believe, we should give respect. It really does not reflect well, when all you guys want to do is snub and take revenge, it is really a bit childish.
Having said the above, I agree with DP on the points he raised on the photograph in question, though, I do not agree with him on the tone he used.
On a personal note to DP, I have seen your C & C on photographs, most if not all, are valid technically. I personally learned a few things from your posts, but with your tone you are really losing your respect. And I believe you do not deserve this, because, you are good as a critic. Just take a little bit more effort to tone down your words and see the positive effect it has.
benedium said:I mean you say you will squash mosquito lah. Nobody see you squash mosquito before mah. So you are not being a man of your word mah... get it?
Wah. For your age, you very vain hoh? I guess vanity is what drives you. Good for you loh...
Wah. Got war going on meh? Nobody bully you why you fight? Fight who?
I think you must be delusional or mental. No wonder I cannot understand.
flambe said:i actually like it when people talk tough and mean what they say, but its when they try to use words that they can't even spell right that it starts to get to me. hey DP, why don't you do a spell check first before posting? then at least OCD people like me can enjoy your tough talk without wincing each time there is a spelling mistake - its almost like travelling on a highway and hitting a speed hump
