so we have a local photography group with about 7200 members.


It may just be me but I am tired of seeing nothing but naked/half naked girls in the sand, on a kitchen counter, or with no background at all (solid color background).
On top of it being same boring photo, they decide to spice it up by wearing a tie....... A tie.

I feel like today people use sex to sell their pictures because their photography is honestly not good enough to do it.

Maybe I'm also just tired of models asking to shoot "boudoir" 24/7.

Ha! you should go on modeling sites then, or maybe not since you're fed up with half/full naked women

It's the only group to find models and clients in the atea.

Also yes I have used MM and it's annoying as well. A girls portfolio is a handful of nudes shot with either a point n shoot walmart disposable or a selfie in the mirror.

And landscape photographers complain about people tsking the same shots of Antelope canyon snd horseshoe bend, or the same btidge. If you dont like what others shoot, dont associate with them.

Make a list of the things you like and dislike about the current group and then start your own group that maintains the things you like and fixes the things you don't like. With such a large membership in the current group there should be some like-minded folks who would be interested. Don't leave it up to someone else to create the group or activities that interest you.

Its a good idea to avoid people who wear ties.

Especially if they are naked females who are only wearing neck-ties...or...hmm...can you post some shots in the glamour and nudity section?

I guess it would really depend on the tie.
