Is it just me or is quality subject matter becoming harder to find? Back about 5 years ago, public places would be crawling with all sorts of amazing talent to see. Now? It seems like all attractive talent has become recluse and nearly impossible to find, relatively speaking. Weekends were always the most plentiful occasions, but now it seems like that is the ONLY time talent is out. And even then, not like it used to be. What has happened? Where did all the amazing talent go? Is it just me and my area? Or is this something everyone else is experiencing?
If so, any suggestions on where to find great talent during the regular hours of a weekday anymore?
Well, regardless of what others think we are still making it through a pandemic so unfortunately ppl are still scared. Imo itās the pandemic slowing down ppl actions and wanting to go out.
In my area I donāt have to try plenty of women, but when I shoot I go by myself I hate distractions from othersā¦regardless tho the pandemic has a lot to do with the fuss.
Covid did take a toll. On the flipside, I have found the lovies want to get out and show off in the warm weather. So far this season, I am still finding suitable ātalentā for my camera
I live in a busy city with a few big universities in town. There are women in skimpy clothing everywhere I look. It could also be that I live in a warm climate, so itās normal for people to be wearing less clothes
Same here. Iām in the northeast US, and there is a business district (where I shoot my office girls), and we get tourists. Some dam fine girls sometimes.
Give it some time, where I am they are coming out all over again. And its really hot outside so tons of ass hanging out lol. Im trying to be brave enough to post soon as Im out of retirement taking some new shots and practicing. Just holding off for getting really good again, but also been like 10 years lol!
I feel the same way sometimes, could just be a slump and just need to wait it out.
That said, Iām not in the best areas, so getting content is difficult already.
Ah, the question . . . From the romanticistās perspective Iād like to think so, but in the context of reality, maybe not. The cash that was found years later in the river wasnāt the amount he got away with. Who knows, if he landed safely (if), he might have been robbed. There are a few interesting documentaries - which ask the same question - āDid Dan Cooper make it or not?ā
High praise - thank you. One of my favorite shooters is Angel Dust. He has access to a lot of model types, and I believe heās a professional photographer. The man is an inspiration.
Hit up Targets/Walmart (Target is better imo) in rich/middle class areas (lotās of subject matter to be found) or any store near a gym, or even the gym itself, best of luck brother
No problems where I am, close to 2 big cities and life is back to normalā¦ no masks, no testing, no COVID it seems.
I agree that weekends are best, Saturday afternoon here is rammed with totty. I also have some universities close by which are great for summer shooting.
Ahh a fellow veteran marksmen of experience. Respect to you. I as well, have been involved in the game for many years, retired for 5 years or so, but recently emerged back into the scene in 2021
Targets are sensational I agree. But for me, the demographic of them are starting to change over timeā¦the average customer has diminished in class, and a lot of the targets that used to host rich/middle class subjects are now the frequents of a more ādollar treeā style customer. The malls are still great though.
I have to agree. I have better luck with office girls, workout chick, tourists in shorts. Mostly outdoors so far. Will venture indoors more this year .
