I am doing the same "playing" around with glamour photography at the moment and facing the same dillema with retouching. I find that most of my models actually attach glamour photography to glamour itself, ie not a portrait of themselves. Thus giving me the liberty to create a clamorized version of themselves. One actually ask me if I could change her lips' shape, to which I respond "I'm not a plastic surgeon:)".

I myself is a fan of high key shot such as this. The low light doesn't bother me a bit, it rather gives the subject more lively look. The expression of the boy is what detract this from a good picture. I found if you want to have good people portrait, the most important is the people themselves.

Well, I wasn't very clear about the definition of voyeurism that I meant.

dictionary.com define voyeurism as:

voyﾷeur (voi-yûr)

n.

1. A person who derives sexual gratification from observing the naked bodies or sexual acts of others, especially from a secret vantage point.

2. An obsessive observer of sordid or sensational subjects.

 

If I took say 20 pictures of someone with interesting feature while following him/her to get that perfect lighting, will that be classified as definition number 2?

Just curious to understand where's the line between capturing

interesting object on the street and voyeurism. Do you approcah your

object once you captured their image? Do you just believe it is your

prerogative if you are in public places?

 

Just wondering.

Thank you everyone for responding.

 

I guess to a certain level, I do have to learn the technical side of photography. As some of you pointed ou, it will make me more proficient in realizing what I have in mind.

I just want to know how many of you are actually learning photography

through the technical details and how many just going by the instinct

and creative spur?

I'm a newbie and to tell you the truth I don't think I want to know

about the distance that I have to have for a certain light to work

with a csertain camera, all that stuff.

Does that make me a creative driven photographer or a slack?;)

sometimes i know it's crap but since i'm a newbie, i want to test if i

got it right or not. this particular one i really like, but never

leave the 3.5 mark after 10 ratings. i've deleted it:)<div></div>
