Freelance Model Thoughts on Photography

[garou12]

the truth is, u got the facts wrong abt Picasso's life and artistic directions.

he's way ahead of his time. as for the marketing side, u will do well to read up on his life history and his artistic direction as well as influence.

i say again. where's your facts? Feel free to prove your pov to me and i'll concede to your views.

i dun haf to prove anything to u. hahahahaha goodness gracious me! u're very humorous and i applaud ur little candidness and 'funniness'.

u shud go and read up abt Picasso's life and not make assumptions and twist fact to suit ur little case and ur needs. u're making Picasso sound like a 3rd rate businessman first and foremost and that is a no-no.

really? then why do you have to insult someone for simply not subscribing to your point of view? That 3rd rate business man as you put it died a very rich man. He must have done something right aside from painting hadn't he

your apology would carry more weight if there wasn't an ounce of sarcasm behind it. Let's go have some cheesecake together talk about the fineese of cheese :bsmilie:

What's the point of saying he is wrong if you don't say in what way he is wrong? I think he can also assert that you are wrong if substantiating his point of view is not required. It will just degenerate into a "he say you say" discussion.

If you want to show that he is wrong, it would be better to back up your stand with more information rather than a categorical and bare assertion. Anyone can throw categorical bare assertions around.

And by the way, I have no idea what Piccasso or Van Gogh is about, so I will not go into that

since you know more about this subject than the rest of us (than me at least), why not give us a little summary? you don't *have* to, but just share share a bit lah.

Like what I wrote earlier, I know little about why Picasso became rich while still alive, while others remained poor. I was nonetheless intrigued and tried to do a little search on this. Maybe I was not thorough enough, but I could not find an article which explains Picasso's riches.

I think it would take a very knowledgeable person to explain Picasso's financial successes. This person would have to know Picasso intimately. Would have to know art intimately. And would have to know the times and culture of the period which Picasso was in. And other things of course.

But I think one of the things which I believe is fact is that Picasso broke all rules in art. Picasso was trained in traditional art and painting. He could make a good living by making art which was acceptable to the age he was in. But he did not. I do not think Picasso's aim was to make money. It seems to me that an attitude which Picasso had which led to him leading the cubism movement is hardly that of a person with commercial interest. Picasso was more concern with a new way of seeing. He certainly had an independent mind. Like the other Pablo - Pablo Neruda - he had communist ideology, which got him into quite a bit of trouble. He was being true to himself, both in political inclination, as well as art.

I do not think that his aim was commercial and marketing. But I believe the culture at that time saw in him a vision of new way of seeing. They recognised his greatness. And commercial successes came because of what he was, and produced.

I am a freelance model and writer, i like coming out with a theme or storyline, getting the right clothes and partnering a like minded freelance photographer for non-commercial shots that have meaning to the photos.

Personally i find that commercial photography has lost its intended purpose - to add a new dimension to the world we live in. There are some pretty good shots that capture that moment of nostalgia but most of them just show a pretty face and nothing more.

I would like to ask - do you feel limited as a commercial photographer? After all, you are fulfilling your client needs and not yours.

At the meantime here are my works

I agree, since you seem to sound so knowledgeable on the matter, would you mind sharing?

Commercial photography are intend to sell something, either a person, product, service, concept, vision or whatever. if it doesn't sell, already consider a failure.

issue? what issue? all I know if you offer pose for FREE, you can get tons of photographers flood you with PMs or emails.

But free models you also don't want to shoot liao.

You want to be paid to lift up your camera. :bsmilie:

 

[Sion]

i totally agree with you.

no $ how to have passion?
no $, no camera, passion for photography only happens when you are sleeping.

Tell us more about how you sleep with passion. :bsmilie:

 

[Sion]

hello,
if you want to dream,
you have to be alive,
you want to be alive,
you need to eat.

unless you are a fairy.

if you are a fairy, please make us all become top photographers,
so we can shoot for you FREE.

If you are a fairy please turn me into a beautiful blue-eyed Afghan gal.

Trying to make a living with a camera is a hard job.

who cares, i need money, then talk abt dreams.

 

[Tupi Guy]

At the end of the day, photographer B will not be shooting for a long time, and may never be able to fulfill the dreams. Starving led to death, kind of hard to shoot when dead.

Personally, I identify with Photographer C. Hence, I have a day job.

Personally, i am quite disagree with this, what make you think the photographer B wont be long or they wont fulfil the dreams?

Not all do thing just for the sake of money or must have a return.

Again, all these are just individual's needs again. There is no right or wrong, it just a matter of where you are standing.

 

[Tupi Guy]

There is alot of ways to fulfil your dreams or talk about dreams. Money is not everything but we cant deny that we cant live without it.

It is not about the money for the passion, if your "passion" can be "measured" by money, then it wont be passion anymore. It sad that people always cant leave that word money in whatever they do......

It never about you can or cannot do it, it a matter of do you want to do it.

That's where your own "belief" and your perseverance will lead you to where you want to go.
