Advertisement Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Hi fotografr, Take a look here Criticism and pleasant photography. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
telewatt Posted June 15, 2007 Share #102  Posted June 15, 2007 jan.. very important point indeed... of course one may want to excell in certain circumstances of photography making (like important pro work, or important person project), but that doesnt mean that other of his photos can be shit. respect to the subject and mainly - to the medium of photography and to the ego pf photographer. respect yourself. your wife??? is there anything more important than the family???????????? why not best photography for them?? because they will forgive? because u dont try to impress them anymore? why not the best for what supposed to be the closest thing ?????????  but again, your photography is u. respect to yourself. have some dignity.  Victor,  that is the way I go in my life.....  ..but a lot of the privat pictures I saw here, are done with sloppiness.. ..why?...  regards, Jan  regards, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FMB Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share #105  Posted June 16, 2007 Criticism is something everybody thinks has the right to do and few can bear.  Mind, somebody is watching over…from the old images, be pleasant.  Francisco.

gverdon Posted June 16, 2007 Share #110  Posted June 16, 2007 To be honest, I rarely saw members of this forum reject a negative critic and I sincerely think that was not the case wit you Brent in this peculiar case. But, hey, you know what happened! ;-) I really don't think Stefan is a great "teacher", as far I as could see in this forum and in other places on the web, but he still is a great photographer (even if I personally find his work a bit repetitive and sometimes narrow-minded - again, no offense) and I'm quite sure it would be very nice to meet him in another context. "Web" debate is sometimes a bit "deviant" and the language problems don't help...  By the way, if you liked the Stefan's Indian series, next LFI will show his work.  Cheers, Gérald Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wda Posted June 16, 2007 Share #111 Â Posted June 16, 2007 I think a good picture should be intrinsically pleasing or stimulates thought and poses questions. If it fails any of these tests when published to a wider group of viewers, then it probably only appeals to the author of the picture.

LUF Admin Posted June 18, 2007 Share #115 Â Posted June 18, 2007 your comment is "narrow-minded" since your one of these narrow-minded who judge through the net about persons they dont know. just talk about pictures if you are able to. Â Stefan, yellow card. Â One more offense and you'll take your time out. Â You are the one who claims critics should be more direct. Gerald only talked about your images but insulted him personally.

vic vic Posted June 18, 2007 Share #116 Â Posted June 18, 2007 gerald, i dont think stefan is narrow minded. and even if what you see on the interent sums up stefan's collection of photoghs, still, they are not exactly narrow, and even if narrow then they can be - they are that good ) Â besides, i know that for many people the reality is interent, but the thruth is that there is more of reality outside the net. so i agree, as much as i cannot fully trust the interent about how the photo looks (for good and for bad), just the same way i dont fully know who is the person over the screen of the computer. Â ah, and this forum without stefan and people alike will be really narrow (for both andreas and stefan) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stnami Posted June 18, 2007 Share #118  Posted June 18, 2007 All we need is just a little patience. (That's what Axl said.)................ not reliable he had too close a relationship with Alice and her wonderland  (even if I personally find his work a bit repetitive and sometimes narrow-minded - again, no offense)............ I don't see his work as being narrow minded, all work is repetitive in some form whether it be in composition, content, colour, execution.The tag , is like saying get stuffed, then telling one not to get offended.............

gverdon Posted June 18, 2007 Share #119  Posted June 18, 2007 (...) I don't see his work as being narrow minded, all work is repetitive in some form whether it be in composition, content, colour, execution....  Imants, not exactly my point... By repetitive I mean always using the very same "rules" (precisely the ones I read from Stefan when he comments on this forum: too much DOF (for a D2...?), no light in the eye, etc.) and making them obvious in his photographs... Difficult to say in English for me, but, as an example, there is a french writer I like very much (Didier Daenincks), I've wrote everything he wrote until I began to literally see the tricks of the trade, I had the unpleasant impression to read, not the story, but the little documentary sheets I knew he used to write a book. That's the "narrow-minded" (maybe not the wiser word in this case, but it came to my mind when I wrote) face of the work, like if people couldn't see through it.  That is my own vision, I just tell what I feel.  Best, Gérald Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
telewatt Posted June 18, 2007 Share #120 Â Posted June 18, 2007 ..mostly I miss this "rules" in the pictures.. ...If I would be the teacher, I would go more harder..for most of the people here it is freetime to do pictures.. but for business it is a hard job...you can't explain the picture!..the picture has to explain the story!. .for that there are "rules" the 5 "W's"..who, where, what, why, how (it do not fit in english.. )... and the form of a story.."single-picture" or "picture-story"....and the arrangement and light!....a lot of work and a lot of for me to do critics here!! Â .o.K..you can say, go away with this shit!..I do funny pictures for me and I hate it if somebody talks about "rules". ..but THIS is photography everybody is talkin about! Â ..but if this is the answer, I lost to much time here for nothing.. Â regards, Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
