Standing from an amatuer point of view, nobody in this world can call themselves a a teacher of photography. Photography is an art of self expression, an art of portraying one's ideas and thoughts to the viewer. Who cares whether there are shawls in bikini shots or not. Lets not complicate things. As long as the shooter thinks that the shawls will make the picture looks better.....so be it! He is the one making the call not you. If he makes a bad decision, it is after all his own decision and he'll learn from it. Who knows by having a shawl will make the picture even better. So let the guy have his choice, his freedom of creativity and freedom of expression.

Zeckson Chow said:Mattlock bro, cannot. People say I owe apologies mah. Must make myself clear mah. If I don't say anything, people will think I am submissive and admit. Nope. I have nothing of that man. But I will not drag on and on lah. Once I have made myself clear, that's it. End of story. Hey, always wanted to tell you, I like your creative ideas!

Zeckson Chow said:Wow... You don't wanna stop? Still have energy to go on? Okay, go on. What you mentioned is quite true. Based on the initial pictures posted here, without looking at yours, yes, I think there is mismatch on the agreement. But I would not use such strong words like "accuse". This is not a life and death matter. So need to resort to verbal violence.
zeckson Chow said:A person of your status (as everybody knows) use words like "idiot", "nincompoops" and "coward" on me really makes me think otherwise about your approach. Pretty hostile. I am willing to take it with you on private messages but you chose to make things public and elavate the temperature of this thread. Hmm... There is a saying, "Die also must win"... Well...
Anyway, I am not going to talk anymore on this issue except on how the newbies can learn, not because I am an "idiot", "nincompoop" or a "coward" but because I know where to put a stop.
sommersby said:Not a photography issue? It is a photography issue. Aren't we in a photography community discussing about photography shot and looking at photographer's work? Our brother has posted a model photograph to share with us. We suggest some points to him on what our view of how the photograph can be taken. We don't need to go into whether the model should wear what.
LightStalker said:i dont mean any offence here but it clearly seems that what zeckson was trying to say is when you pay for a shoot like this, its best to get what you paid for and not half of it. Like buying a bottle of milk. You pay full amount but only get half of it. It's not worth your money right? Just my 2 cents.. To be a true photographer, you need to have the attitude of a photographer as well.. Only with the right attitude can you only improve yourself..
I dont think we should blame ZC for his doubt coz some of us must have some bad experiences in the past shoots ourselves. Sometimes the bikini shoot will come in only at the last hour or so, sometimes the model will make excuses, ...LightStalker said:i dont mean any offence here but it clearly seems that what zeckson was trying to say is when you pay for a shoot like this, its best to get what you paid for and not half of it.

When Charby says lingerie, it's lingerie all the way from the word "Go"! and when Bob says artistic shoot the naked body will be waiting for you .... probably ZC is having a cultural shock with how the Thai models are treating him ..:bsmilie:
So bros ... give him a break.
student said:A wrong choice of words is not necessarily a disaster. But to persist to insist on one's innocence and righteousness is, in my opinion, unacceptable.
It does not matter if one had been "cheated" by organisers before. All that is required is a simple question such as this; " are the models in bikinis", and the doubt will be clarified.
But ZC said this " If.. agreed ..then...."
Now since this WAS agreed that the shoot was a bikini shoot, it follows that ZC next statement holds -meaning the organiser did not hold to her side of her word, which is a slur on the organiser's integrity. And may affect her furure shoots (thankfully, in reality, most people are wiser than some "sm***a*s")
This is the implication. Should we give him a break when he insist on his "righteousness"?
