    Is it just me or should I get with the times?

    On a photo shoot yesterday. Props supplied; a couple of 1920's tiger moths, restored and in flying condition. Professional models supplied in period costume 1940 -50's. All is good. Maybe a tad too sunny. But I see a problem!

    Oh my, I think I'm with you on this, Martin. Did you have a choice of models?

    Yes there were other models .. another was "decorated" but not quite like this lass. There was quite a bit of "face furniture" on display as well.

    I wonder how these women will look like in her later years if she did not have her tattoo erased?

    Actually Martin I do think you need to get with the times..

    Taking a woman's portrait then blurring her face out so that you can have a go at her anonymously on line is as we say in Aus... P#ss poor form.

    Izzie, She didn't fall over into a tattoo bush and get up all scared for life, I think she will be fine with it

    It's not so much about you getting with the times; as their tats not fitting in with the specific times. Nicely captured.

    Oh yes, I see what you mean. Those gloves definitely don't go with the belt.

    John,
    If that were the case there would be no images of tats or mention of "Face furniture" there would be images of Tiger moths...

    I doubt it would be that drastic, tattoos are attractive but just don't fit the period photography displayed.

    Then you lose your empty fuel tank.
    You can't rewrite the past.

    Cropping the head does not work, neither does blurring it with the composition you have chosen to go with.

    Re: Is it just me or should I get with the times?

    Why is the image being cropped or blurred in the first place?

    I often wonder if the tats are genuine tats or just transfers to be changed at will.

    I do not mind men or women with tattoos...as long as they are not on my children...I have friends who have tattoos who drives Harleys and they are the most gentle creatures, men and women on earth...I guess I am with John (Shadowman) on this about the shot itself not fitting with old vintage planes...
