OMG....you just reminded me of this "art director" of this waaaaay low budget magazine... for "parents of metro" children.. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I did three jobs foir them because I thought they could use a hand in getting their crummy magazine off the ground and get some real businesses buying ad space....but, after the jobs I had to deal with this "art director" who spoke very well about art theory...and made comments to me about my pictures not being good enough for his standard of what was expecting from a professional.....even though I shot with studio lighting, medium format 6x7...his cover shot.....and some inside shots with my Canon L glass and prime lenses...and used Provia rated @ iso 64 which had a lot of pop to it. for both shots..... after they had been using flat bed scanned photographs from parents with point and shoot cameras with visable dust marks on the magazine front cover from the scanning process..........just awful stuff.... and this guy had the balls to suggest that I wasn't a real professional if I wasn't useing "Honkelblanc" cameras and Carl Zieiss lenses.... I'm like.....whaaat????? You mean "Hasselblad"?? Well sir, arguably, the 6x7 CM format works better for magazine cover shots than the 6x6 cm image...for your type of print.. Well, that was the last time I was asked to shoot for them....... today, 5 years later, their magazine still looks like crap!
Hmmm.... I guess they are still looking for their real professional..
