“A good hater; a good lover” French Proverb

I’m going to pause a moment to lay some hate down.

I realize it’s only my opinion, but something has been bugging me lately. I follow quite a few photographers – primarily Pin-Up photographers. Some I follow on Facebook, some I follow blogs, some I follow websites, etc, etc.

While I am not a photographer myself, I can appreciate a bad/mediocre/great/excellent image – and discern the difference (for the most part) between the levels.

One thing that has been really irritating me lately is the process by which a photographer will set up an excellent model, an excellent outfit, excellent makeup and hair – and then add a CLEARLY ARTIFICIAL BACKGROUND. I could appreciate it if it was done well. However, they rarely are. Green screen should be reserved for extreme circumstances – not the entire background of the image.

I’m not going to bother linking to a guilty party. I just felt like venting.
