Is this for real?

[evorgsumaf]

I was looking through this months Shutter Bug magazine, and saw a bunch of these seminars for Glamour photography seminars listed in the back. I thought it might be fun to check out, so I click on the site.

Anyways, here is the site: http://www.glamourphotonet.com/

Has anybody gone to any of these seminars? Is this for real? I mean I recognize some of the girls in the photos, but who is to say they are not from the internet. So, is this legit?

[Sorarse]

Don't know if they are for real or not, but the quality of some of the photos in their galleries leaves a lot to be desired, and isn't a particularly good advert for their services.

That stuff is horrid...

[Vetteography]

That looks like a cheap website made by a thirty-something housewife with no html knowledge and some fellow PTA members for a crew.

Not a very professional looking setup.

hahaa...that's lame... oh wait, they have a yahoo group!

[evorgsumaf]

I tried to join the Yahoo group, No luck.

Anyways, does anybody think this is for real? Maybe I should just spend the $30 and drive down to San Diego and report back my findings. HA HA

That's gotta be fun to watch.

Even if real, the photos don't look nearly as good as the POTN G&N thread.

[flipstyle72]

It's real... REAL GWC out for some jollies...

[DocFrankenstein]

I can't see the gallery though.

My first thoughts as well.

[Mrvile]

Why do you want to go so badly? Doesn't look like it's worth the drive even if the "seminar" were free...

[evorgsumaf]

I really don't want to go, I was just wondering if it were legit.

1998 just called, they want their website back...

Yeah, I thought the exact same ... and I think a few of those 'models' are gran'ma's now too ;-)

Not to mention the horrid website. If I were to judge them by that alone, I would evaluate them as much less than professional.

[aram535]

oh my! someone tell them not to use direct flash, and use a real muslin not a drape or bed spread or whatever that is.

[Hermeto]

The site looks almost as horrible as that Lady Frankenstein’s site from couple of months ago. :p
The one that takes pictures of kids for beauty pageants..
Does anyone have the link to that site?
....

Okay, I found it:

http://pageantphotoretouching.homestead.com/pageant_photo_retouching.html

I wonder if she has some seminars too.. ;)

Good Gawd! I didn't see the original post, just looked at it. The website is horrid, but her retouching may be even more ghastly. There's one of a little girl with two white flowers in her hair (Hailey) where the "after" image looks like someone has applied about a quarter inch of old-style pancake makeup.

GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY!!!!!! Her editing is WAY TO MUCH!!! Now, how can you even consider using those shots for entering a pagent (or whatever)....they don't even represent the children AT ALL! WOW!!

As far as the Glam Workshops...yeah, them is weirdos...

That guy has wedding shots that look like they are from a wedding in the 70's...maybe his?

Man, ain't that the truth.

[jmcder53]

i did one of these type workshops way back in 1999 or 2000 with a guy who did them through a continuing education program with a college. he knew how to take pictures, but it seemed mostly like a bunch of old perverted guys who wanted to ogle young women.

[Jon Foster]

I just looked at the pictures in the link. HAHAHAHAHAHA...

Jon.

[evorgsumaf]

a bunch of old perverted guys who wanted to ogle young women.:lol::lol:

[bwolford]

Did he misspell his name on the Website in addition to the misuse of many other words?

[mattograph]

1998 just called, they want their website back...

Perfect.

[gooble]

Baaaad.
