HOOTER SHOOTERS

I'm on this site, Model Mayhem, that connects photographers, models, make-up specialists, retouchers and artists. It's a pretty decent site and I've found a lot of great talent on there. My complaint though isn't with the site. It's with the massive amount of so called "photographers" that infest it, and the rest of the art world for that matter, like a spreading cancer. There are so many turds floating around it's like a backed up septic tank. But today I'm only ranting about one variant, the hooter shooter.

I want to point out first that nude photography isn't the issue at all. It's the ones that use it as a way of seeing girls naked and produce shoddy work that really chap my hide. They confuse these poor, desperate to feel attractive, women into thinking that this is what photography and art is all about. The models assume that what's given to them is good work, thus giving decent photogs a bad name. These cretins only picked up a camera because it gave them an excuse to capture as many defenseless and exposed girls as possible.

Again, there are those artists out there that do create great works involving or centered around nudity. Hell, even Playboy has class when it comes to nudity. The ones I'm talking about like to snap women in their poorly lit trailer showers, capture them in unflattering angles in their messy bedrooms or tie them up in what is obviously a park in some failed attempt at edgy bondage art. Bad lighting, feeble editing, terrible poses, stupid concepts (hold this knife or gun... naked!) and I can only imagine what their "studio" looks and smells like. They feed on the basic want for attention. They gloat as often as possible about how many nudes they have. They are not artists, they're soulless, cheap, smut peddling, sleaze bags and they are making it hard on the rest of the real photographers out there.
