V.M.S. Cheongsam Theme Shoot


Excuse me are you really passionate about PHOTOGRAPHY as a whole or more interested in how we look?! The fact that YOU as an individual detest these contacts and all doesn't mean the whole world owes you a anything! We wear what we want, your objective is for the whole image and not how we look. Please get your FOCUS right in the first place. One man's food is another man's poison. My point is, YOU DO NOT GET TO INSULT US AND AS A GUY PLEASE SHOW SOME FREAKING RESPECT. And by the way, how the hell do you know the cheongsams are not fitting when the photos don't even show the full pic! FYI I paid for my cheongsam and it is TAILOR MADE. Quit being a joke.

if you dont have the look dont model .........coz it ruin the photo.
 

Hey guys, think this is going off topic... pls respect the TS n stop discussing abt the contact lens thing...

Anyway... TS any more photos to show? Cheongsam Cheongsam...

Agree.. Please respect the TS that he may need constructive C&C..
How you if people goes to your thread and bombard nonsense which is off-topic? :dunno:
 

Bro Desmond,
The photos do not show the "Cheongsam Theme" at all.
The cheongsam or qipao has to be shown in its entirety, that is from the top of the collar to the base of the hemline, otherwise it will not show the femininity and "sexiness" of the lady -and this is the most important aspect of a qipao.
Former US President Nixon after seeing Chinese ladies in qipao during his first state visit to China remarked that it is no wonder that China has such a huge population. :bsmilie::bigeyes:
Cheers.

I think the Sheryl sets may have potential....
(though not necessary the one shot you chose and posted)

Clean white qi pao with that tattoo I spy might make for an interesting
modern meets tradition contrast. Think it might pay off to review your shots from
that day one more time. I think more intersting shots may be in your 'film roll'

Question is: are most of the shots that day as OOF?
 

And just who do you think you are? Simon Cowell? You guys should be the one eating a life! I've seen your port deadpoet. Seriously? White cheongsam(which doesnt fit) with hotpink stockings and hotpink wig? Oh gosh. And you dare comment on these? C'mon man you can do better than that! Afterall you're a Senior perv, I mean Senior Member! Scorned women? You insulted us and expect to go scottfree? Have you ever been accused, insulted an humiliated? You probably don't give a damn since you're such a stuckup fag. But im not like you, thank God. You can say we have bad eyes due to lack of sleep and you can say you're not a fan of iris-enlarging lenses.. But you cannot insult someone else. You have spent decades of your life not knowing what's RESPECT. For that, GET A LIFE!
 

if you dont have the look dont model .........coz it ruin the photo.

When did I ever say I was a model? Are you saying I am? Aww I'm flattered! Grow up kiddo.

Im not a pro but i think the composition and how the photo is being taken / processed should be the ones commented on and not the models.
some of the comments given, its so damn personal.

Give you a damn pretty model, your photos can come out like **** if u know nuts about taking photos. Give you a not so pretty model the photos can still turn out well.
Anyway the models look fantastic.

I guess it was my mistake to quote. It wasnt reffering to anyone. More of a general comment

I dont understand how can that be rude when i am not pointing it to anyone. It is a general comment

Hi all, I usually dun commend but something prompted me to do so this time.

I believe that a good modelling shot is the collective effort of a group of people. In the case of most shoots in CS, it is mostly between the model and photographer (cos there is no MUA nor costume designers, etc...)

So it is quite sad that a post with harmless intentions became a battlefield. I was there for the shoot, and to be fair to all three models, they tried their best to accommodate to my group's requests for poses.

While the Cheongsams were not all fitted, my guess is that all those who signed up knew that the price we were paying will not cover areas like alteration of the outfits. Yup, not as sensual as body fitting cheongsams but the models did try to look elegant and demure, which is one idea possible for such a theme. And I thank them for making the shoot a more enjoyable one.

And we are here to learn to create better images. In this aspect, we are definitely off-track. TS posted these 3 shots most probably because he liked them. (They are not perfect, but I like them too) It would be good to make constructive criticism so that he will like his images better. I see few of that. It would be good if comments can be more specific.

We take photos to create beauty as well as memories. Good memories... let us all try to keep it that way.

just my 2 cents worth.....
 

Wow. Scorned women!

if you dont have the look dont model .........coz it ruin the photo.

it was fun reading all these post
despite the fact that I had earlier asked u all to stop these nonsense...
is Deadpoet = aaSKaa?? pls stop....

and Sheryl... relax... pls dun turn these into a warzone...

dun mind mi being busybody... MOD PLS SAY SOMETHING

Hi Xieshen, Thanks for the words, actually I didn't ask for C&C in the first place,
so sorry to become this situation. :dunno::dunno::dunno:

aaSKaa is not deadpoet .......anyway i have already clarified my comments. Not sure why you only quote one and not the rest of my explanation.

frankly, this is a very unfriendly comment. It doesn't matter who you are referring to, and worse still it is meant to be a general comment!

Are you saying that only beautiful people can make a photo look good? :nono:

IMHO (from my past dealing with them), models Valene and Mandy are among the most beautiful xmm here, and also among the more experience ones. They dress and behave very well and their physical attributes are way above average. As for Staryl, she has enough experiences here to make some fair comments.

DP, probably in his usual style, has chewed a bit more this time :bsmilie:

I think we should move on ..... :dunno:
 

I extend my apologies to Desmond, for creating a scene. But if given a choice I would still stand up for my own rights and those of other girls. I thank all who empathized with my point of view. For those who stood up for him and think he wasn't at any fault, all I can say is that birds of a feather flock together.
Lastly I would like to add, if you have the guts to say something, then have the guts to admit it. (To the general, ha)
