To me, a question like this is seriously lacking in sensitivity and to make matters worse, a poll is conducted. A serious lack in consideration for others' feelings which completely marks the lack thought and respect for others.
Whether a model is young, old, experienced or not, ultimately WE as the photographer dictate the shoot. WE want to deliver the image. WE need to make the image work. As I told my the model I am working with: I do not need a professional model. I need a model with professional attitude.
What this thread effectively states is the lack of professional consideration of such matters pertaining to age and the like and as a result of such a thread even existing in the first place, makes me wonder where it is the professional attitude of the TS who he himself is a photog whilst at the same time complaining abt models attitude. It just irks me.
Yes, older women, tend to be more glamorous in pics, then again it depends on the photogs skill to do so. Take a look at Mags pics in the Tammy thread. She is young. 20 years, yet she looks good and glamorous. The recent Urban in the papers on Friday, the backapage. The model is 13. She looks glam. If you as a photog does not know what is the image you want to create, no matter how young or old, experienced or not, all those does not matter anymore.
I will no longer be posting on this thread as it just simply just disgusts me to a point where the insensitivity of such a remark, statement and poll all in just irks me and is repungent
