Quicksand Fans

Good photographers know not to position their model in such a way to "cut off her legs". However... in this case, it lends to thoughts of a sinking nature.

Leanne Crow in beach quicksand... would be very nice. She has done work with Rockelle Starbux... and I've been hoping...
Meh, enjoy.

Works for me!

i agree, we ought to hire her for a session or 3

How I wish...I can't tel you how many photo shoots I have been disappointed by due to the photographer
"amputating" the models legs at mid-thigh in practically every pic, via to-close framing or post-shoot cropping. I call such photographers "Torso-shooters".

As far as babes on the beach, I often look for photos like that. A smile can ruin the effect too, so a good distressed or worried look always helps.

Not everyone with a camera is a photographer. I can't say I'll all that good at it either but I can at least recognize some of the traps that men with cameras fall into. One is forgetting what they are really there for. At a video shoot, for example, its quite common for a still photographer to seem to forget they are taking stills. They might bang away with six shots in two seconds at a critical moment in the scene, such as a submergence. The result is six nearly identical shots and a major sound-editing problem for the video editor. The fast repetition feature of high end still cameras has its place but the video camera will get more images and from a better angle.

Some photographers also get overly focused on what they find most interesting in the viewfinder. Legs might get cut off, as described in the originalk post here because the photographer is looking at something else rather than the overall composition. For storytelling, of course, THAT is what is important and some sacrifice of artistic composition may be necessary.

A mistake I made when I first got into photography (half a century ago and then some) was to become an equipment hound. I had some much gear I spent most of my time hauling it around and fiddling with it instead of getting good pictures. There is a funny, and almost certainly true, story of the photographer who spent so much time fiddling with the flash device he was going to use that Abraham Lincoln finish his Gettysburg address before the photographer was ready, and the shot was missed. [And while I may be old, I'm not THAT old.]

Trying to get everything in is another mistake, perhaps the opposite of getting too close and cutting off the subject's legs. Imagine trying to get a group portrait of the entire staff of a sports arena or the entire student body of a major university. It could be done but no one would be recognizable.

I had recalled Peter Gowland's book on photography about the subject of this and he'd had intentionally had done a shot with the models legs facing away from him to demonstrate what he was describing. I had the book to assist me in me classes when I was in high school back in 82. I knew what I liked prior to that and whether he was trying to prevent I would have loved to achieve. lol.
One of my classmates had even agreed to pose for this series of sinking photos. A huge "but" was the temperature in October here in central New York were less than conducive. Class ended in January and we never finished the project. We graduated that June and she married a week after that. Real life interfered in so many ways.
In my original post... it is quite obvious what the photographer's main points of interest is and I don't blame him at all. What I see in our producers here on this site is better that what I've seen elsewhere. One of the annoying things with big busty models is that the lens they use makes the breast and the remainder of the model appear out of scale. Some viewers like that I guess.
