Comments on: These Photos Of The 2012 United States Olympic Team Have Hit A Nerve With The Public http://fstoppers.com/these-photos-of-the-2012-united-states-olympic-team-have-hit-a-nerve-with-the-public Video Blog for Creative Professionals Fri, 24 May 2013 09:40:00 +0000 hourly 1 By: Todd360http://fstoppers.com/these-photos-of-the-2012-united-states-olympic-team-have-hit-a-nerve-with-the-public/comment-page-3#comment-65252 Todd360 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 16:06:00 +0000 http://fstoppers.com/?p=40334#comment-65252 Let’s go beyond the technical to the practical.  The paper is frayed torn and dirty.  And while there are many ways to interpret beauty in a shot once you cross the line of slack, you better have a good reason for doing so.  In this case, you have world class athletes shooting in sub par conditions.  If the theme isn’t “Olympiads winning against poverty” then there’s no purpose for missing the pro photographer’s mark so far off.  

My honest guess, some commissioner or committee official promised their kid a chance at shooting some athletes for their future portfolio.  

On the bright side, with the right photoshop touch ups, those same images could sell wheaties and subway sandwiches!

What is pleasing to the eye need NOT be explained. As a portrait photographer, my mantra is, “The camera sees both ways”. How I relate to the people in front of my camera shows up in the result. This photographer not only was ill-advised to shoot the way he did, he totally lacks in people skills. What a shame as these athletes all had a story to tell that wasn’t told. What a waste.

He had more than enough gear to do the job better if he had any concept of composition, basic lighting and creativity. The guy is a dud with a crap portfolio of other work.  Disrespectful to the US Olympic team

His sport pics are not that good either ..
