Norm's & Rex's image amatureish... I don't think so... did you actually look at them?
As for my own work, it stands on it's own.

Glenn Amateurish? I think not!
But seriously I have used Glenn many times in the past. I have found him to be more than just a good bloke and a pleasure to work with. He is an absolute joy. He is very professional and experienced. He is not amateurish at all.
I don't know how often you use photographers, but I have been in the biz for 3yrs now and I have used allot of different photographers and I think Glenn is the cream of the crop. I think it would have been more helpful to Taratata if you had offered some suggestions rather then talk negatively about someone else's work. She asked for contact info not criticism.
Thanks

Since you think these guys are so amateurish, why don't you show us what you think is professional and don't say Stantillo. We all know how professional his photos are.big dogie said:

roflmao!
You can't possibly be serious! Unlike many of the people who pass themselves off as photographers on the web, both Rex and Norm actually make a living at photography under their real names out there in the real world, and have for years and years. Get a grip! And learn how to spell while you're at it!big dogie said:
Well said, and budget is usually an issue and if budget is not an issue, I recommend the best in the city, if not country:sensual lady said:

Oh, good grief. Glenn's work is excellant, his rapport with his subjects is fantastic, and he's willing to try anything. He doesn't bring a pre set 'I'm the photographer, so you just shut up and look pretty while I shoot you' attitude to the set. He's diligent, affordable, and creative. I say anyone willing to slam his work, or that of others, should either be willing to put up examples of their own, or stfu.
Best of all, I can refer other women to Glenn without having to worry that he'll spend the entire time trying to convince them to 'offer him a little something' in exchange for his work, which is more than you can say about three quarters of the wanna be photogs out there who are contstantly offering their services free of charge to SPs.
He's even willing to put up with me constantly tormeting him during shoots, which should tell you what a patient and long suffering saint he is

Holy bent out of shape Batman............... first I am sorry for all the hurt feeling out there that was not my intention, but come on people your skin should not be so thin ........ If these are professional photographers then their work is rejected all the time it is part of the job you send your portfolio out and good chance you get one out of ten jobs...... the lady that started this thread said twice in her post 'professional' if those photoghraphers get paid for the work on their web pages enough I would be shocked ......... like come on .......... maybe they have the Escort world by a string ......... but no informed buyer would use them ..........technically or creatively in the work that I have seen just does not cut it in the professional world.......... now thar Kbear stuff that is getting there in fact it is pretty good .......... these other guys would do well by assisting him and learning how to polish their craft.......... take a look Shin's link do yopur really think your friends stuff compares?
Well I guess you don't believe in freedom of speech....... just because someone is a nice guy dosn't make him a professional photographer.... BUT you made my point for me "wanna be photographers" I need not say moreMorgan Ellis said:Oh, good grief.

Shin's work is awesome... and I am sure the production budgets for his shoots are in the $50,000 range.
As for professionalism, what it comes down to are your clients happy. I seem to be doing alright in that regards. As a photographer I can take that people don't like my style or my images...I realy appriciate honest critiques... that is how I grow... I would be really worried if everyone liked what I did...
But when you say that Norm or Rex don't understand lighting?

this is a review board so everybody has a opion and I stated mine and you call me names........... who is acting like a child?
I am sure most if not all I saw on his page was done 1/20th of your estimate outside of his fee's of course...... yes I don't think you all understand lighting look at some of the masters stuff like Rembrant or DaVinchey how they light their subjects the odvious mistakes you all are advertising is showing ignorance of the art, thus unprofessional........grsphoto said:
Umm....I think the point is that these people are IN the business of photographs FOR advertising.
To light the pics as 'art' would not work in most cases.
What makes them professional is that they recognize this - they know their market!
And I'm not sure that Rembrandt used a camera much.

(this is about production Budgets and Shin's work) I would be surprise if 1/20 of my estimate (1/20 of $50,000= 2500 if my math is right) would cover the cost of catering of cast, client and crews on his level of shoot. When you start to work at the level he is at the expenses are high, but so is the pressure.big dogie said:
I would love to produce that quality of work, but I don't think I want that level of stress. I am a photographer for the joy of it.
as for your other comments, in the overall scheme of things they really don't matter.
