[QUOTE=The Riddler;23720132]What's wrong with her? She's rather comely, in a back alley sort of way.
And the operative word there is comely, so.[/QUOTE]
Bad/gross looking hair, gross looking coat, ripped jeans, drug addict eyes, and you think she looks attractive? She looks homeless to me.

[QUOTE=superdinoman;23716125]Everyone looks sick as shit in those pictures, did you feed them arsenic or something?

It's supposed to look shitty.
that's the point.
You know what else looks shitty? The layout and color scheme of the website. It hurts my face.
Gypsy probably found facepunch looking for "Hipster Photography" to link in her article, which she also bumped after a year of inactivity.
As a photographer, don't complain about a job you've been offered, it will be taken back and offered to someone else.

I also enjoyed the fact that she ranted about how much she hates [url=http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=782813]Hipster Photography[/url], then has this as a profile picture

What the fuck is a nigr?
Well since the OP is talking about the photographs, I'll give my 2 cents about that...
The photos taken by Balzary in the provided link in the blog rant is described to be "hipster". In my experience as a photographer, those aren't considered "hipster". At least, not enough. Hipsters tend to excessively use the lomography style. If you don't know what lomography is, it is essentially taking pictures with a toy camera to get an "artsy" feel due to the cheap poor quality plastic lenses and old expired film. You would get a strange coloring, chromatic aberrations and most of all, vignetting. The photos posted by Balzary are simply snapshots.
There was no consideration put into composition. Every single photo has the subject (the horizon line in some cases) is dead center. Simply put, they did not use the rule of thirds. When everything is centered in these "fashion" style shots, it becomes boring. Besides all of that, the lighting. Sometimes the sun is right in the subject's face causing them to squint, there is no light at all or, the light is simply not very flattering. Framing. If they're trying to advertise clothing, show the clothing. Don't obstruct it with hair and then crop it off so all you see is the shoulder of the jacket. In portrait photography, it is generally nice to use a wide aperture so you would draw the viewer's focus to the subject and not wander off to the background. Finally, white balance. If they wanted to be hipster and artsy, they would have at least kept it consistent. It is not consistent at all.
So what this all comes down to is Balzary is not a hipster and if they were trying to, they're not trying hard enough. So yes, you are correct, they should hire a real photographer.
MrDark, why don't I see you around the photography thread more often?

I'm usually blown away by everyone elses' photographs and artworks that I'm absolutely speechless and don't post much over there.
I absolutely hate hipsters.
You know, people that take top-down pictures of themselves with some photoshop shit as explained above.
What sucks, 60% of all the youth here in winnipeg are hipsters.
