    Where’d you get them done, local high street family portrait photographer?

    And are you constipated? Or worried about an impending court case?

    Mr. Nutt once rang my mobile when I was in bed with a friend to offer me some old studio photographic gear and got quite shirty when I displayed a lack of interest 🙂

    Ok so, if you want my genuine honest onion…

    They’re technically ok, but utterly uninspiring, contrived, sterile and devoid of any true depth of character.

    For your style of music and that, you need to consider how to communicate YOU to your potential audience.

    As a ‘press’ image, the second one is not too bad I spose, but they’re just like ‘spotlight’ portraits actors have done. Basically descriptive, nothing else. TBH they’re too technically ‘perfect’ for your image, I think. And they’d be improved greatly by being in black and white.

    To promote YOU as an enigmatic thing, you need something with more going on. something a bit more stylised.

    Had on, and I’ll have a root about for some examples.

    absolutely, the above shots are just some studio mugs, there’s more lined up, featuring my old morris minor at a cracking location, naked ladies a plenty!

    What to do photos of you, or watch someone else take photos of you?

    😕 Why are you offering this one as an “example” ?

    I’m equally confused with the rubber duck btw

    Oh ello, STW’s resident philistine has turned up to mock, scorn and belittle… 🙄

    well, someone has to. It’s the law.

    Are you mocking me ? I only asked because Einstein isn’t noted for his musical talents or publicising them.

    See, I would gladly take the time to educate the heathen peasant, but I fear it would be akin to putting pearls before swine. 🙁

    He’s from Croydon though, so I spose I can’t expect owt else really.

    Sigh.

    actually, Aziz was being kind by posting shots of well ugly blerks to make Alex look better!

    did Ghandi ever have sex ?

    No, the whole point was to try to demonstrate how well portraiture can be done, in an attempt to be constructive.

    But then, I spose it’s asking too much to expect a Croydonite to possess even an ounce of artistic and aesthetic appreciation. Did you see him on my this weeks architecture thread? He posted a picture of a toilet.

    I despair, I really do. 😥

    He posted a picture of a toilet.

    well, you must realise that only mausoleums don’t have toilets, and only dead people live in those 🙁

    or is it mausolea ?

    You think posting a photo of a fat ugly old man holding a plucked dead duck is constructive ?

    you’re missing the point that toilets are essential to good architecture!

    Not quite SFB…….this was my original post but was reluctant to post it :

    I like the first one. The second one is too close up for me – I don’t like to stand that close to a man. And the third one just looks straightforward gay – nothing wrong with that of course, depending on your target, it’s just that I’m not gay. And yes you’re a handsome bastard, and no not for me.

    No, I do appreciate this, and indeed went looking for other examples of fine institutions, but I know it’s Ernie’s way of trying to derail proceedings, as the topic is generally beyond the limit of his aesthetic sensibilities. If only he would venture from the abyss of unenlightenment once in a while. 🙁

    Nutt is probably, by now, sitting there weeping, weeping at the utter futility of it all.

    ooh, ooh, I know. A free copy of the new Good Mountain Biking Guide to the first person to find Mr.Nutt a date (or be his date). Does he like girls or boys ?

    if that’s his ex it’s no wonder 🙁

    And yes you’re a handsome bastard, and no not for me.

    but he doesn’t look very happy does he? and now we know why…

    whilst I appreciate the thought, romantic accompaniment is never anything I’m short of!

    and as for my sexual preference, well thats another topic entirely!
