@Johan,
I decided to stay silent on this subject but I decided not to.

It's true that Snook has a very bad streak or humor as he calls it, something that is the opposite of how I work and think.
I've been sitting behind my screen with question marks often when I read his responses here or on other fora.
This serie puzzles me, he claims on several fora that the DH look is passe and that everyone doing it should do something unique, but here I see A LOT of DH influences in the post processing.
And I see a lot of other influences.

HOWEVER I find that every photographer is free to be inspired and use what ever they want to create art.
Somehow however I think that Snook is looking at the world with very big Snook glasses.

My coorperations with Leaf and Elinchrom will not be in danger by what Snook posts, they are based on mutual respect and simply on performance from my side.
And to be honest although I really hate it when I'm getting flamed again and again however I know that what I do is successful, the workshops are taught worldwide and we have students coming in from all over, the DVDs sell very well so I can only conclude one thing, somehow I'm not a good friend of Snook and to be honest I tried a lot of times to try to overcome this by giving responses to his questions in a normal matter, but over time I'm more and more just ignoring him, and I think a lot of people will do that.

A student in LA once told me he knew he great photographer but he didn't have any work because he was an ass, he also knew someone who was shooting all the stars but did mediocre work but was a blast to work with and a real people person.
Maybe he should think about that........
People love people that are open and nice, people hate people that are not.

And if you want to get work it's better to just play nice or really be nice

I was in the middle of it one time you and Snook tangled. His behavior is simply laughable. I don't mean that I find him funny. I find the fact that there are people with his mannerizm oddly funny. Often self centered and "all about me" attitude people have no siblings or long term playmates; or have grown up in a very sheltered and attention fed environment. Perhaps a small school that she/he was well liked and sheltered. Take this subject and place him/her in a dynamic pool of other subjects...and you have yourself a kid(at any age) that is trying to get the attention he or she is used to. I am not saying this is Snook, but his unacceptable actions remind me of such behaviors. And then I form a little sympathy ...and some words of encouragement for the efforts. I post this so we can all look within us and see where we can improve about ourselves and the way we project our thoughts, as I know that the person who doesn't have harmful come backs or excuses... and looks within him or herself for improvement, rather than weaker opponents is the one that shows the most progress.

I think I have seen this "hand to mouth" pose 1 or 2 times('78 to late 80's). It works here. I like the overall feel of the image. Not sure if its the model or what? But I don't see her as a "jewel dazzler" maybe thats what is keeping me from saying "Very Nice"! or the feel of an in between frame? She has such a peaceful look, a subtle beauty...Seeing her having that many flashy rings contrasts her "reality". I do like the head tilt and how her arms frame.

No offence, but the pose was already old-hat in the 60s and has never been out of fashion. Let´s face it (no pun etc.), there are only so many ways to put hand(s) and face together. Speaking of the 60s, chunky rings were also de rigueur then, the principal service being to help one focus those slow Hassy lenses under cheap modelling lights. Unless, of course, you were selling them as part of every model´s kit - rings, not slow Hassy lenses, but I guess you knew that. Sorry folks, it´s all been done before ad nauseam.

Its just an observation...nothing too critical

I think you are pulling our legs here - something is not quite right.

You have a professional website with client login, and this is what you state about your self:

Some photographers do a lot of weddings, seniors etc. and never have a publication.
Some photographers only shoot for magazines.

Wow! Someone actually reads that mumbo jumbo?! I am actually revamping my whole website and will get rid of that section. Its kinda boring to me now and doesn't really depict my personality.

However, Frank is correct! I spent many years doing family portraits and weddings. I found it quite uninspiring and strongly considered othe avenues in photography. I took several fashion/beauty workshops--one being a workshop Frank offered in LA!

This is my first publication, and truly hope to have many many more. I got goosebumps when I saw my work in print!

Thinking the same thing, ...schools, portraits, etc...

Pat,
It is relatively easy avenue. You just have to keep sending your work and following with phone calls.
There are hundreds of magazines. You will get some rejection but you will also be surprise of how many of them will be happy to work with you.
Congratulation again. It is a nice feeling. Enjoy the goosebumps they are the currency that most magazines pay with.
Andre
