Should I bother editing pics?
OK, so here is the dilema, and I am hoping I can get some advice on this...
All the pictures on Cal Models I take myself in my own amateur way, and lest to say, they are not professional... I used to edit the pics (and in most cases do a real crappy job) thinking I shall atleast put in a background because the shadows of the studio lights (and by studio, I mean a glorified room next to our server room that I use an an amateur studio)... Now editing the pictures is boring as hell, and takes a lot of time specially since usually I dont know what the hell I am doing in the first place, and in doing up a freesite and looking over the sponsor, they are actually touting that the pictures are not airbrushed or touched up (but then again the pictures are very professional and dont look anything like mine)... So I got to thinking, maybe the way I should be placing Cal Models is amateur models by amateur photographer (I was kinda thinking along those lines already) but now I'm thinking, why not take this a step further and not bother doing anything more than a cursory light adjustment and crop of the pics, and dont bother with backgrounds? And even though this may not qualify as a niche, but maybe it would get people interested enough if say for example I use the "amateurs by an amateur" link on freesites that I do (of the three per page that I am allowed) and maybe people may be more inclined to click and visit? Attached are two pics to illustrate what Im talking about, one is actually on Cal Models right now, and the other is the raw picture with just crop... Im hoping for some advice ![]() EDIT: Ok so apparently I am allowed to attach just one file per post, so the other pic is here http://www.calgarymodels.com/index.p...g2_itemId=1324 |
