PHOTOS PLEASE

[Ryoki]

"finished a project with Steve McCurry" sounds awesome eh, almost like you were right there at his side, dodging bullets and rpg's and shooting pictures of beautiful Afghan girls. What happened really, did he order a large printout of one of his shots?

[Doombrain]

when did you get the butt hurt with me??

i retouched, balanced, colour managed and printed 40 64 x 90 inch prints for his UK retrospective, which was a total pain in the ass.

Just having a laff, no worries
Touch of jelussy too i must say, he's a bit of a hero that man.

[Doombrain]

well he was in New York so didn't get to meet him and when he visited the show i was in Spain.

Very fussy about the detail. We spent thousands on wasted print media getting it right because soft proofing's a massive waste of time where's there's no standards to hit.

just stop you fucking tool

lol who's the tool? you're the one dropping other people's names, to elevate your otherwise pathetic life. I bet he lives right up the street from you too.

Without any doubt, it's you. Mr National Debt.

[Tsakali]

lol, i've had better comebacks from shit flinging chimps.

[Doombrain]

lol, no u etc. end of test. smashes plates.

[Tsakali]

lol, pathetic...here was a chance for you to actually wow us with your supposed knowledge on the subject and all you managed to do is prove that you're a tool...much like in the past...nothing has changed.

[Doombrain]

blah blah blah. I don't need to prove anything to an idiot like you

Now stop spamming my topic up with shit like "rank amateurs do a better job because they have more time on their hands."

PS, Goats cheeses isn't all that nice.

[Tsakali]

blah blah blah. I don't need to prove anything to a idiot like you

I've not long finished a project with Steve McCurry and an exhibition. What have you done?

fucking lol.

[Doombrain]

The question still stands.
Whats your experience that qualifies you to make such [retarded] sweeping comments?

in fact, the question just answered itself.

[Tsakali]

Lol I definitely don't need to prove myself to you, but I can actually hold a conversation on a subject without having to throw around pathetically approval seeking remarks to hide the fact that you don't even have the ability to formulate thought into sentence.

Your shit flinging behavior might have impressed your dead stare wife into spreading her legs for you, but I suggest if possible to change your frame of mind if you don't want to go through your remaining life completely clueless.

Now for the 3rd time, I give you a chance to add something useful to the subject.

[phantasmagoria]

whoa now. Spakali's bringing out the big guns.

[Doombrain]

Yes yes, lol.

Added? All the photos i've added? Where are yours? I'm guessing like your debt repayments, not happening.

you should need to prove yourself posting in this topic because over the last year you've certainly let something crawl up your yogurt encrusted hoop, fucking band wagon tard. fuck off, monobrow momo.

[Doombrain]

Nice edit

Lets wait for your mates to dig you out.

[Tsakali]

Good job on repeatedly missing the point
Seems that advice I gave you isn't going to work out.

[Doombrain]

beware of Greeks bearing gifts

brushed my teeth

[Doombrain]

With all the hair on your back.

[mrd]

You two should get a room and/or post some cool photos, otherwise STFU, aye?

[0psys]

that sounds more like a personal take on the issue....and I'm sure the £1200 customer would take offence to that.

Once you start having more jobs than you have the sense to take on, you'll see a shift in your paradigm. I've seen it happen to people that I sometimes have to deal with through mutual clients. I guess that would be a personal take on my part too

It's not a personal take, it's the opinion of a four year professional working in the middle tier of the industry. My £1200 customers don't give a shit, because they only care about the finished product. The level I achieve cannot be done without extensive retouching.

I do have more jobs than I can take on, and I accept work only on the basis that I can realistically complete it to the standard of which my clients expect. I have, on one or two occasions employed the use of a second retoucher for pathing or masking to make my job quicker.

To be more succinct: The idea that retouching is based on time or cost is completely ridiculous, because many photographer's entire styles are based solely on post production, and can't be achieved without it.

Girlfriend took some shots at my last game trying out her new telephoto lens. I played around in Lightroom a bit.
