OK I am sure I have said more then my share but let me put it to you in another way... If I took pictures of plastic flower and posted it in my gallery, not only would I expect you all to laugh and point, I would expect you to tear me to shreds. Plastic vs. the real thing, there is no comparison in that is there? Now what difference is my POV going to make? OK you all have seen pictures of Kate Moss, have you not? Did any of you find her "ethiopian" status apalling? Probably not, but I did, as photographers you are looking more at lighting, posing and composition correct? The images of Kate Moss and the "perfect image" of being a "Barbie" has led many young women to battle with two very real diseases, anorexia and bulemia, both very real problems for young women here in the USA. OK but what does this have to do with me you ask? YOU as a photographer have the right to click the shutter on a subject or not, if we as photographers refused to take pictures of silicone injected models, ethiopian (extremely thin) models. Yes we are making choices as photographers as to what the public is exposed to. Had this model been clothed, her plastic look would not have been so apparrent, and the image probably would not have drawn any negativity. She has a very pretty face, that should get her farther then any plastic you can buy. So having said all of that, I am going to tell you this, be more selective in what you shoot or rather how you shoot it. You want to shoot plastic, be prepared to take the heat. Goes back to the old saying that if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. I know I was not the only person that reacted the way I did, however I believe that I am possibly the only one that reacted in that manner, who also participates in this forum. Remember that a 1,000 mile journey begins with one single step. YOU can make a difference.
