@Snook,
That's your opinion.
Mamiya LOVES my shots, so that is ok I think.
The way I approach my photography will differ from those you will use, but I believe we had that discussion earlier, when you mailed me to stop copying your style (up untill than I never heard of you), and that mail was not very nice to say the least, even when I tried to answer you very politly, so maybe you are a bit frustated with something ?
Don't be, the world is big enough for alot of styles and personallities, but PLEASE stop chasing me with this sort of campaigns, I'm a very nice person but this is really beginning to bug me.
I never destroy pictures, but I have my own style, and that style is differse as far as I know, and WHEN a highlight is blown, trust me that is intended, and when a picture has a blue cast, trust me that is intended.
With modelphotography I make my art the way I see fit, and that is more than just pressing the shutter and getting everything nice and balanced in the rules someone makes. I love to experiment with color and with blending modes, for me Photoshop is a gift to the photographer of the modern day.
Accentlights are often 1/3 stop above my mainlight, meaning accents WILL blow out but that is again totally intentional.
But I guess you like the safe work more, and that's ok, here something to ease your mind, or wait, never shoot into the sun ?? (just kidding of course).
Oh and I blew the highlights in the water..... (again pun intended)
See
www.frankdoorhof.com for the rest of my work.
Maybe good to visit that before you again make ridicilous claims about my work.
For the mods, very sorry to be so blunt, normally I'm a very civil person but as mentioned before, this person and I have a history which from his side is let's say not so nice and civil
