Edwin, and others,

I think both sides of this argument have a point, but can you folks all please learn how to opine without being so aggressive?

I am with those who find sneakers/trainers and casual clothes in general to be sexier, wet or dry, but it's not a case of "originality", just personal preference. I'm not going to berate a producer for creating the images that he or she wants to. They should be accorded respect, because they're the ones going to the effort, to produce the photos, often for free.

There are many who would levy the criticism of lack of originality at any photo of women wet in clothes. Just how many of these photos have been posted to this forum, for example?

Each person who comes to this forum does so because they are into something which is outside of the mainstream. We come here, and to similar sites, because we can discuss and appreciate something which is a minority interest. Just extend that logic a little, and you will realise that every person is entitled to be into their own "thing", no matter how specialised. If your particular "thing" happens to be sneakers, please try to appreciate that someone else's "thing" might be high heels.

Well Alonzo, you are entitled to your opinion. As a producer myself, there is one truth when it comes to photography, we can't always please everyone.

As for my own photography, I can tell you this, I am not interested in photographing realistic images. I prefer the totally improbable situations. I am photographing a fantasy, not real life. Who has ever seen high heels on a beach? No one and thats the point! I can tell you this, whenever we go to the beach and do a photo shoot we often attract a crowd of people intrigued by what we are doing and they are typically surprised by the fact that we have models in clothes, and wearing heels in the surf. The fact is I'm not there to photograph the norm, otherwise I'd just shoot another beautiful barefoot babe, in a bikini, on the beach, if I wanted realism.

Now, if you want images of girls getting wet in sneakers, trainers or whatever may I suggest to you a couple of different approaches.

1) Find a producer who can provide you with custom videos and / or photos

2) Buy a camera, hire a model or get a girlfriend, go to the beach and shoot to your heart's content

If you do the latter, and go into business selling wetlook, I'd be curious as to if you can be "witty", or "original", and if we're likely to see a fulfilling, meaningful image with imaginative posing, simply by using sneakers.

Sincerely EdR

agreed, meaningless, unimaginative & absurd

Agreed, these shoes never get wet, they make the scene look totally improbable and artificial, it doesn't make the look realistic in any way but just ridiculous. Who has ever seen high heels on a beach or in a stream? It renders the "casual" look of the jeans useless and absurd. To me, it just looks too snobbishly fetishist. Maybe it's economical for a producer to cater to wetlook lovers and plastic shoe fetishists at the same time, but don't expect us to erupt in cheers.

I think, however, we just shouldn't expect most producers to be witty or original in their ways. Even with sneakers or other footwear more adequate for the beach or the creek, we're likely to see the same empty, nondescript, meaningless, unimaginative posing standards we've seen so many times before over and over again. That's so boring I wouldn't pay a cent for it.
