The Masters of Kopitiam Art:
I like your stock images. You are such a versatile shooter. I believe you often shoot in delight. Thanks for keeping up the spirit here!
So, do you shoot for trade?
Why so called "models" with little or less experience can demand paid shoots?

You mean after a few poses during the shot, the XMM will ask: "Mister, you want special?" :bigeyes:
Wait.... after over a decade in photography, am I missing something? :devil:

One most important thing: I usually like to hire xmm models because I find caucasian/Eurasian models too easy to shoot. They usually look good and have no problems with a lot of angles. If a photo turns out good everytime, is there anything we can learn about face angles and composition? Anyway, using xmms to train up is encouraged by an old wedding photographer here in CS. To OT a bit, a face recognition system finds it difficult to detect Caucasians than Asians. Normally Asian face recognition can hit 97% recognition rate with conventional methods. Caucasian/African faces need a more complex hybrid technique which consumes more computing resources. Why? Because mathematically, they all look the same as they generally are well-chiselled around the eyes and nose.
So, I will still use xmms.
Wow this is the BS of all BS's.
Those of you having problems getting permission from wives to shoot XMM's should quote from Leejay. :bsmilie:

Can not say people BS lar, so harsh... wait people complaint you. :bsmilie:
For those GWC :heart: XMM, I can only say "Love is Blind". :bsmilie:
For next round ClubSnap T shirt design and Mass Order.
I propose we have a specially design T shirt dedicated to all the hardcore XMM shooters and all the XXM models, for thanking them to keep "Portrait and Poses" and the "Service offered and wanted" so alive.
The theme of the T shirt design will be "GWC :heart: XMM"
Anyone interested to summit their design, can post it here...

lets see...
those who dun shoot the xmm wondering why GWC willing to pay to shoot xmm and teach them to pose.
GWC who shoot xmm defend why they need to pay to shoot xmm and teach them to pose.
xmm see GWC think since GWC willing to pay, why not. so rope in their kaki and all chorus "paid shoot only. no nude or lingerie. no tfcd unless interesting esp bridal".
I can prepare the t-shirts and transfer prints...
so the jury (those who dun shoot xmm?) found the GWC guilty of spoiling the market for a potentially cheap/free human labour?.... :sweat:
very simple, many just want a quick way to make money.. as long as there is a nice face, nice legs and nice chest, they think they can make money to be photographed.
professional photographers are not stupid to waste time on such.. unless they saw very good face/hair features.

chop their camera
i think they more pain than chop them :bsmilie:
because now GWC become GwC (Guy without Camera).. they have become normal peasants :bsmilie:
Wahahaha... gosh... this is funny bro... hahaha.:bsmilie:
I thought a lot of ppl here believe that the CS GWC equate = Pro photographers? :think:
No wonder they are paying a hefty sum to all the newbie models ...:bsmilie::sweatsm: maybe they see good features on them that we dont see....

Haa, cos some of them think it's a challenge and levels of difficulties are higher to shoot those xmm rather than xyz on the streets.
its more challenging to shoot in film than in digital, but how come during film era we don't see so many GWC around? ;p
