Compliments / Coquette Series

Journal Entry: Sat Sep 18, 2010, 4:25 PM
People. I'm not Jamie.

If you'd like to tell Jamie that she's beautiful and gorgeous, I encourage it..... on her page =)

I agree that she's very pretty, that's why I take so many pictures of her lol
But, I put a lot of work into these shoots; I do the make-up, the concepts are mine, I style them, I do the hair sometimes, I take the photos, and I spend hours editing them afterward. I would LOVE to get comments on those things, or even just a simple 'nice shot' would suffice!
When I get "She's hot" "Jamie's the BEST" "She's perfect!" it's kind of.. Well it drives me a little nuts ^^;
I've even gotten personal Notes about how great Jamie is :crazy: Why are you sending me these things.

Awkwaarrrrd.

I know every now and then you can't help but mention the model, I understand, I do it too! Just maybe add a little comment about other things afterward! :nod:

Now, what makes me even MORE CRAZY is when Jamie gets the comments about the photography, the composition, make-up - OMG! :frustrated: Why are you doing this to me lol


So! This is Jamie's page :icondear-jamie: Compliments on her heavenly looks and possibly her posing are best sent there.
Compliments on the composition, make-up, editing, etc: My page =D


I'd also like to extend this to my self portraits. I actually have really low self-esteem, very self-conscious so I can't lie and say I don't enjoy the compliments I get on my looks here, it makes me feel good, but if you could toss in something about the make-up or angles, things like that, I'd really appreciate it :aww:

Not to say that all of you are giving me crappy comments or anything, I do get some really nice thoughtful ones, funny ones too, and I really appreciate those, thanks very much, you make my days =)



:rose::rose::rose:


Finally posting the new Jamie photos!

I didn't really have a set theme for this shoot, just knew I wanted to do lots of blue eye make-up. I ended up drawing her eyebrows in blue too ^^; added some red lipstick and I was happy. Decided to pull her hair back at first 'cause we hadn't done that look for her yet. She brought her own dress, and I supplied her with some shiny black pumps and we were ready to go.

The photos turned out looking very Mad Men to me, 1960s, so maybe some of you might think the blue makeup clashes with the 'theme', and I understand lol but I'm really in love with these photos, makeup and all - they're some of my favorites I've taken so far! Jamie has gotten quite good at posing, and I took all of these with her fancy SLR camera (only my second time really using it =D). So yay, pat on the back to us both.

(Also an honorable mention to one of my and my boyfriend's dogs Peaches lol)


Jamie will be posting her own set from this shoot. There were so many photos that we each liked so we both have about 20 images to post. Don't worry we won't post them all at once ^^;

Hope you like them as much as I do!

:heart: Shari

Well I think you do a bang-up job on all the makeup and photgraphy you do. :nod:
Also: You're beautiful and hot too, just so you know. ^^;

Some of my favourites of your pics have been because of the feel of the pics, the movement, light and colourful makeup, like the seagrass ones, so if I didn't say it at the time, I'll say it now: bravo on all counts.

I'm under the assumption that a large percentage of DA users do not bother to read the credits / comments left by the original poster & thus blindly comment on what they are seeing (the model, not the photographer).

I've gotten these kinds of things since I started on DA & mostly I just ignore them. I don't want to be a bitch but if people can't take the time to read four lines of text underneath a picture in which it clearly states how the picture was made & with whom then I don't have the time to spend to correct them / care.

That is a very good point, and if I were a less self conscious person and someone who didn't get angered easily, I'd probably do that too lol I try! maybe 40% of the time I don't let it get to me, I just ignore them or even hide their comments haha ^^; But since a good number of my 'followers' read my journals, I thought I could ask them to take notice of these things. Most of them will probably do it for a week or two, then forget and I'll be back to square one but it's nice to have at least a week's peace :crazy:

you know i can see what you mean and how you can be like"wtf" but there are a silver lining to it though is that you made her look that damn good!!( not saying she's ugly cause she's not obviously)

so i can get why its a bummer that people missing the artistic and technical asspic of your photos of her. BUT... if people are noticing her even more because of your photos that shows you have skills!!lol!!
