Photographer? Or GWC?

Link reposted from lithium_picnic, wonderful blog post from Christine Kessler about being a photographer.

And here it one directed at models making choices. Read this if you think about modeling nude (scroll down a smidge to see the actual blog post)

GWC?

you think people that modeled nude would have thought that through before they did the shoot.

Guy With a Camera. A derogatory phrase given to those who have little photography talent but want to convince women to model for them, usually nude.

[concertfreak]

gotcha. i've never heard that phrase before. and it is guy not girl right?

you'd think that blog post applies more towards a GWC then it does working with an established photog

[mentalswitch]

girls with a camera probably have other ways of seeing naked men, so yeah, more towards guys.

and yes, the post applies more towards GWC than photogs. But most GWCs have convinced themselves that they ARE photogs...

Good post...this is why I choose who I'll model nude for very, very carefully. It pretty much has to be a style that people might hang on their walls, otherwise it could easily get weird for me very fast.
