O.K I think I need to let you guys in on a little fact about me. I'm all for constructive criticism however don't patronize me. I am far from stupid and I will blast you if need be. This is a comment that someone left on one of my "SUPERSUPER issue 12" blog....
"Not hating at all. i actually like the shoot alot. but im also a stylist and just have to ask.....why didnt you steam the clothes first??? there are bare creases in the garments. im suprised they chose to run the shots at all if im honest. Its just a bit sloppy. but as i said, i like some of the images on a whole. keep it up. just a bit of constructive criticism i spose....."
I would like to start this blast by saying, I'm the fashion coordinator of the magazine. Why would you be surprised that they printed my shoot. It's not like I have to submit it to a magazine that I have no affiliations with. I work there for goodness sake.
My second point is this. If you were not hating, you wouldn't have posted the comment as anonymous. You would have happily left your name because as far as you are concerned there isn't going to be any hard feelings because your criticism is constructive and purely innocent.
My next point is that you mention in your comment the fact that you are a stylist. So what? Does this then qualify you to critique my work as though you are better than me? I don't mind being criticized but it only makes sense if your work is better than mine. Prove to me that your shit's got it all going on and that I should be grateful that you are blessing me with your words of wisdom. I don't know you so I'm not in a position to say that my work is better than yours. However, I have a permanent outlet for my styling to be published. I'm pretty sure you don't. I have the position that you want. I bet you wish you could do a shoot and be 95% certain that it's going to get used.
Constructive criticism is positive but if we read your comment I think you got a little carried away with the insulting.
"im suprised they chose to run the shots at all if im honest. Its just a bit sloppy"
Hmm. Who is going to read that and think, yes this person really is looking out for me?
And lastly I would like to justify the creases. I just didn't have access to a steamer. I work for SUPERSUPER. Have you not seen our editorials? Nobody ever steams their clothes. It's one of the few constants in the magazine that can be guaranteed.
Thanks for the comment though. I like a bit of controversy. It keeps me going when my adrenaline levels are low.
P.S
Get you grammar on lock down before you wanna criticize me. You never heard of spell check?
