Performers only get to do their showing off because the public pay to see them. To deny your audience a photo, whatever the format, seems a little rude to me.
My blog is actually all self-photography unless it’s a photo shoot.
If you think about photo sharing sites, the mobile photo sharing and social, there’s no competitive advantage, there’s no obvious business model, so I never play with anything like that. I avoid it like the plague.
She glances at the photo, and the pilot light of memory flickers in her eyes.
I personally have gone to photo shoots and see the pictures afterwards, and I don’t look like me because I’m just so airbrushed and so, kind of, fake and almost plastic-looking, you know?
All I wanted to do was to perform my music, so I never really thought about photo shoots or music video shoots or interviews. You can’t anticipate those things – you just can’t plan this as a job.
When I’m in a bikini or at a photo shoot, I’m real confident. But, if I’m in a group of people I don’t know, I’m really quiet.
I mean, no one has ever gotten to see what it’s like to be a WWE Diva. Yes, we are all a bunch of athletes and we have to get down on the ring, but we also have to attend photo shoots and red carpets.
Social media is changing the way we communicate and the way we are perceived, both positively and negatively. Every time you post a photo, or update your status, you are contributing to your own digital footprint and personal brand.
I didn’t want to chase movies. It’s too hard. You’ve got to work at it – opening nights, photo shoots, publicity people, managers. I never wanted to do that. I’m too lazy.
You have a negative, and you can have an influence whether you want to have it more contrasty or less contrasty; you can pre-flash the photo paper. You can make it warmer or colder, lighter, darker. This is all a way of manipulating the image in a normal way, not changing the pixels.
Just being a model and having been shipped off to Paris at 17, I wish my mom could have been at some of those photo shoots because there are some creepy people out there.
It’s the most gratifying thing to have young girls telling me, ‘I love that you do a photo shoot in pants and a button up shirt, and you still look cool.’
If somebody says your story is only published because you look nice in the photo, that maybe spurs you on to write.
Because I used to play a lot of sport, I’ve always been in decent enough shape. When I used to get asked to do a bit of body work before a photo shoot I’d lie and say, ‘Yeah, I’m going to the gym.’ I literally never did anything.
When you can’t make up your mind about which shoe to choose, you post a photo to SnapChat and ask the fans.
Most photo shoots are a beautiful dress, a natural location, and poses.
A photo is a creation.
I shave my legs twice a week. It’s hard the first time you do it. But I’m very lazy. For a team photo in December I just did the fronts.
The first time I looked at Yammer, I thought I was on Facebook. Work is not a social network, with serendipitous communications and photo collections. Work is about managing tasks and responding to things quickly.
As soon as I gave birth, I had, like, 20 kilos, which I think is about 50 lbs., and I realized, ‘Oh my gosh – in one month, I have my photo shoot.’ So I had to lose a lot, and you know, it doesn’t happen in one month. So it took me almost a year because I think, realistically, it takes about a year.
If I’m going to see people, I won’t wear heavy makeup. It’s not attractive on me. When you see those pictures on my Instagram, they are usually for when I’m doing a photo shoot or an interview.
My roommate and best friend from college had the picture of ‘Frances Ha’ as her Facebook cover photo. That movie meant a lot to us.
When you crop the photo, you tell a lie.
As human beings, we are the only organisms that create for the sheer stupid pleasure of doing so. Whether it’s laying out a garden, composing a new tune on the piano, writing a bit of poetry, manipulating a digital photo, redecorating a room, or inventing a new chili recipe – we are happiest when we are creating.
With same-day registration, no requirement for a valid, dated photo ID for voters is an invitation to fraud and corruption of our electoral process.
It’s hard sometimes because people don’t take a model seriously in any sense. Unless she’s taking a photo, that’s as good as she is.
Looking back, I didn’t have the patience to work in fashion. I like women so much, but I was never qualified to torture them in photo shoots. You have to be really tough and brutal.
I’ve always wanted to do a photo book, but I’ve never done one because I’ve never felt ready; I just didn’t feel my work was good enough.
It could be that all awful dictators are frustrated artists – Mao with his poetry and Mussolini with his monuments. Stalin was once a journalistic hack, and I can personally testify to how frustrated they are. Pol Pot left a very edgy photo collection behind. And Osama seems quite interested in video.
I’m not like ‘Oh I am going to be so mobbed today and everyone is going to take my photo.’ I don’t see myself like that.
People say that I must get bothered when someone stops me for an autograph or a photo. I’ll get bothered when no one asks me. Being asked means people haven’t forgotten the time I played.
I didn’t like my hair and makeup one time on a photo shoot, and my publicist told me, ‘You should just be happy with it – they haven’t had a black girl on the cover since forever.’ She’s no longer my publicist.
I remember looking back on a photo of me… wearing a suit that was, like, two sizes too big for me. I think a lot of guys don’t know what fits.
I’m not Rihanna. I’m not cool. When people come up to me in the street, they often want a hug, not a photo, and they want that because they like my work.
In the music business, I found it was much more about interviews, photo shoots and appearances rather than actual performing, which I do best.
The Chavez-Obama pictures will join a postmodern photo array that includes Donald Rumsfeld gifting Saddam Hussein with spurs from President Reagan.
I mean, in all fairness, in the grand scheme of things, if the greatest inconvenience of my life is that sometimes people want a photo or a chat, then that’s extraordinarily lucky. It really bothers me when actors complain about it.
A fan requested me for a photo, after which he made his whole family click photos with me, and while leaving, he told his family that I was Katrina Kaif!
In 1979, I moved to England and photographed Joy Division and Bowie and Beefheart. At that time I got images that I felt had that special, well – power is a big word to say – more like intimacy and ambition that outlasted the photo shoot. I felt that they would have a longer life.
When I’m on set, I’m 100 percent comfortable, but at events and photo shoots, I’m beyond nervous.
I hadn’t done a photo cover in a while, and I decided to do a take on the ‘Pin Ups’ cover, but do it in skull face and have the girl in skull face. People seem to dig it.
When I worked as a newspaper photo engraver in the only job I ever had, many years ago, I’d get the train home to Pukerua Bay where I was staying with my parents. An hour ride, 16 stops, and almost always, I’d have automatic wake-up, seconds before we pulled into my station.
This morning someone sent me a very funny photo of me holding their puppy. We have matching colour jackets.
I guess the biggest thing I had to get used to was people staring. At first it was like, ‘Am I wearing something odd? Is there something on my face?’ It was kind of weird because when I go to the grocery store, people, they’re not necessarily coming up to me asking for a photo, they just… look at me.
A photo does not mean I agree with anything someone says.
Politicians pose and grip and grin, and mouth blandishments, and, like the beloved Arab leaders, are careful to say nothing. The prime photo op directive, it seems, is to say absolutely nothing.
So many more people recognise you and want to take up a moment of your time for a photo or a hello. You try to deal with it with grace and a degree of humour, because what’s the alternative?
I find it funny to look at people who are people-watching, and, don’t get me wrong, I like to people-watch, too. But it’s an interesting thing when people on the street just stop and ask you, ‘Are you Coco? Can I take a photo of you?’
How do you know someone is a grandparent? They’ve got milk stains on every shirt from burping babies. Their pants are worn out at the knees from crawling around giving pony rides. They have 2,842 pictures of the grandkids on their smart phone and not one photo of their spouse.
In the States a lot of Hispanic and black audiences are gravitating towards ‘Peaky Blinders.’ A mate of went into a bar in Santa Monica and sent me a photo of four blokes dressed as Peakies – they meet every week for a ‘Peaky Blinders’ evening.
Britons are very respectful – if they want to take a photo, they ask politely.
I’ve been working pretty much 12-16 hours a day, six or seven days a week since May of 2003, and every time I see a photo of myself, I realize that there is never a time when I don’t look exhausted.
People sometimes forget how early Flickr came. Facebook didn’t add photo sharing till a year after Flickr was acquired by Yahoo.
