Chick Pictures
OK , here's a new angle I
guess I had just never considered: gender
specific photography.
After casually
mentioning that this slice of pizza is not exactly
the most photogenic and that the paper towel looks
like a piece of cardboard (or worse) and that the
beer doesn't really look like a real beer, THEN my
critique group brings out the big guns, that this
picture, meant as a test for a guy-oriented
cookbook, is totally and unmistakably made
by a
girl. While I don't think they meant it
as an criticism of technique (as in 'you throw like
a girl'), they were pretty clear that this
feminine- Martha Stewart-y - no meat on my pizza-
style just won't resonate with its target audience.
OK, I get it.
Next (huge) challenge: learn how to think like a
man. Ew...
