It's important that your shoes coordinate with your chair - 2 photos

Once again at the Sony booth at Photo Expo.  They missed an opportunity.  The model's all but bare back was beautiful, and they should have allowed her to pose back to the camera, looking over her shoulder towards the camera.

Yes, she's obviously an attractive model and it's a nice photo.  However, I'm going to play the politically correct devil's advocate here...and I am ready for the onslaught  :ph34r:

 

What is it in the minds of these corporations that they think they need to drape an attractive woman over a chair to sell cameras to middle aged men?

Reminiscent of the old car shows with models draped over the hood of the phallic (oh, sorry, bullet) shaped sports car.

Sadly I think the answer to that is all too apparent; it reflects the mindset of those they think most likely to buy their cameras, but it doesn't stop it being both pathetic, puerile and shameful.

 

I'm with you Mark on this entirely. Among my circle of friends, I am known for being a bit of a 'men's rights activist’, but whenever I come on here I find myself having to switch into ardent feminist mode. It's not that it's morally repugnant, though there are often times when some of the things posted clearly cross a moral boundary, it’s just deeply pathetic. You’d hope for a little more aesthetic aspiration or highbrow social commentary in the things that people buying such expensive cameras would choose to focus their attention on. Instead we get stuff that looks like a 1970s issue of ‘Amateur Photographer’. It’s so bloody low brow as to be borderline Neanderthal.
