What do I do?

[Rockheart]

I photographed weddings for 28 years so I would consider myself a professional photographer. With the exception of some pics I took of Lisa during one of our get togethers (they turned out pretty well I think), I haven't taken any of the type of pictures pertaining to this discussion. As a professional, I am going to side with Craig on this one. It's one thing to be photographing in a large studio with all kinds of lights, diffusers, filters etc. available. Working in a hotel room or small apartment can be very challenging and when you add in time constraints, I think the work he produces for Yum is quite good. Sure, I have seen better, but Craig does OK under difficult conditions.

Thanks man.
I don't think Roxy really made any point, she was just throwing out terms she read in a book.
I think I know your work Ray, and it looks pretty good.
It is less the style shemaleyum would like, but more the style a tgirl would like for herself.

I can do all sorts of photography and styles, however I am not making fancy portraits for tgirls I am making porn for men.
I have 2 hours to get up to 300 photos done in a session, if I fucked around trying to get studio perfection I would get about 10 shots.
Besides when it comes down to it, most of the models don't want to spend the time to get the perfect picture. They want to do the shoot, get paid and get the hell out. Then they complain after about me, even though they put no effort into it. God forbid many TS would spend an extra hour of their time to make sure their photos turned out like they want. They just call me a shitty photographer or whatever.

This is the main reason most Solo TS sites suck.
The tgirl is so worried about every little thing that they end up using only 5 or 6 of the photos they have taken. No one even sees that little spot on their heel that is bothering them so much.

My mandate is this.
Get good clear bright photos that are sharp.
Most of the top Tgirl photographers are men because men know what men want.

Go look on Shemale Canada.
Half the tgirls are using pics from Shemale Yum because the are good, plain and simple.

Like I said I am not the worlds best photographer overall but I am one of the best shemale porn photographers. I have seen some of my models shot by other sites and photographers, and most of the time mine are better.

The other thing is I generally refuse to do this type of studio photography for pay from the tgirls, because all they do is bitch and whine about every little thing, it isn't worth any money.

Plus they show up High and drunk then blame me cause they look like shit, or couldn't get a hard on. Unfortunately i do not talk about this private business so I am at a disadvantage. They don't use the same professionalism and go around slamming me.
Any girl that tells you I did a bad job, I bet I have a good story that I cannot tell you. They certainly won't tell you they showed up for a shoot stoned and drunk off their ass.

It's also pretty apparent which of the girls do drugs. So if one of those girls shows up and cannot get hard at all, i ususally have a pretty good idea why. Usually I will be nice enough to do the one shoot but you will never work for us again.

I dunno, I think I have tried to help tgirls in our Country alot.
All I ever seem to get is slag from many of them.
Spreading nasty rumours about me etc.
The tgirl that is spreading the rumour I beat someone up probably won't be doing much adult work anywhere again.
She is now on the Model blacklist that we share with other top websites.

Lisa is the only one willing to say something in my favour here, and that sure says something to me. I am not exactly sure what it means other than Lisa is alot more genuine than most.

Roxy can call me a child molestor, rapist, batterer, user, asshole, bad photographer, etc.
I guess everyone agrees with her.

I certainly don't, and thanks admin for taking the appropriate step(s).

Hey, cheer up Craig - you are the good guy here!

You know Craig, it is very doubtful that more than few of the members here have any knowledge whatsoever of what is, or what has been said about you. We are not privy to that sort of thing, so this is really known to but a few "insiders" if in fact it does exist at all.

I am certain that few here have the slightest idea who Roxy is, or even care what she says.

I am equally certain that almost no one agrees with her either! You are one of the good guys!

Darned right you have helped the t-girls of Canada a lot! There are few who have done more to help the T_Girl community in Canada that I am aware of. Your work with Grooby sites of course is a matter of record, but I submit that the key benefit you provide for the transgender community is your ShemaleCanada web-site that allows the girls across the country to run good quality advertisements in a respectable format if they so wish.

The girls should be happy that you are actually helping them by providing that platform for their use in helping them move forward on their transitional journey.

Well said Toban. Keep up the stellar work Craig.

Here's a rotten photo I took today.
However I took it with my $150 Sony camera.

[Rockheart]

Here I just ran across a photo that has some depth of field.
What you can see of the background is blurry, however I am so close to the subject it is barely noticable. It is hard to take a bad picture of angie tho.

O and about white balance, I am also accused of not knowing about.
Every single tgirl I have shot has watched me use a white balance sheet before EVERY photo set.
ie: i do not shoot fully automatic as accused.

But still a nice picture that is crisp and clear.
Good enough to make you want to rub the front of her panties.

Shemalecanada.com is the only place I choose to advertise. I don't run ads in any newspapers, or on any other websites; even still, I was able to make enough money through escorting to pay for my tuition, books, and living expenses. Thanks to Craig's site, I've even been able to save a bit of money, and take time off from The Lounge so I can concentrate on my final undergraduate semester.

The way I see it, shemalecanada (and the kind gentlemen who got my contact info from there) are directly responsibly for my education. I sent you a PM a while back, but I feel that the recent criticism against you should be countered with a public show of appreciation as well.

Thank you so much, Craig! You can take photos of me (and maybe my girlfriend? ) anytime you want!

Craigyb,

Phew, I never thought that I would get to end of this thread but I was pleasantly relieved with Nikki's contribution. She succinctly conveys my sincere sentiments:

Shemale-Canada plus Tgirlforum = TS Bliss! Thanks for all that you do!
