Should I attempt to eat them?" - [Bridal BM](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/bridal-bm/) - When ya gotta go ya gotta go, even on the big day... Where were her bridesmaids I wonder? They should at least be holding her dress up for her.

There's a visine for that! - [Brown Eyed Girl](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/brown-eyed-girl/) - Well done fauxtog, you made what was probably a very cute little girl look absolutely terrifying.

I bet the original image didn't even look too bad. - [The Goddess of Fauxtogs](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/the-goddess-of-fauxtogs/) - Meet Fauxtodite, the Goddess of poor pixles, crappy cut outs and insane Photoshoped failures from throughout Olympia. - [Booger Bunny](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/booger-bunny/) - A concept that fauxtogs just can't seem to grasp is that not everything you take is worth throwing a watermark on and showcasing in your portfolio... Now someone get the poor bunny a tissue! - [A Real Classy Shot](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/a-real-classy-shot/) - So was the fauxtog just creeping in too close, or did he take his pants off and that's them on the floor in the corner of the image? Hilarious that he would not either notice or attempt to correct the jean photobomb. - [Ghost Car](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/ghost-car/) - Photographer thinking : Aw, that would have been a cute shot if my car tire hadn't been in there. Oh well, onto the next one. Fauxtog thinking : Aw, that would have been a cute shot if my car tire hadn't been in there, I bet I salvage it though! It was my best shot! - [Black Hole Baby](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/black-hole-baby/) - Someone help that baby!

That being said, why is there a horrible picture of a baby mouth in your professional photography profile? - [Zumba Party](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/zumba-party/) - Zumba is such an intense workout that modern cameras cannot even capture it! Or maybe it's just another fauxtog picture. - [Blinding Blue](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/blinding-blue/) - You need sunglasses to really see this one. But even with them on, it still looks horrible. - [Backwards Tree Hug](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/backwards-tree-hug/) - Horrible photo, better watermark it and throw it on Facebook! - [Daddy Is A Backdrop](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/daddy-is-a-backdrop/) - We get that the focus of this photo is the kids, but fauxtog, did you really have to grey out the dad? - [Hold That Boat](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/hold-that-boat/) - You don't even need to be a photographer to make one of these "holding the boat" photos work. The fact that they couldn't pull it off and still call themselves a photographer is just sad... - [Need A Towel?](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/need-a-towel/) - Sorry fauxtog, you're going to need more than a towel to clean up this mess! - [Now That's Fauxtography ](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/now-thats-fauxtography/) - Super blurry, bad selective coloring and a wrinkly blanket?

Unfortunately for them, they weren't trying to... - [Fauxtog Christmas](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/fauxtog-christmas/) - The mother looks like she was the only one who was prepared for this photo to be taken. Did the fauxtog accidentally snap this before the "cheese"? Good thing they put a border on it and included it in their portfolio anyway. - [Oh Baby... ](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/oh-baby/) - What we are wondering is, did the fauxtog wait until after the baby was born to take a picture of it and then Photoshop this beauty together, or did he just use a random baby's picture? Also, how did he look at the finished product and think anything other than, this is so creepy! - [American Zombie ](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/american-zombie/) - A perfect shot for a modeling portfolio, obviously it's not edited at all! - [Money Shot](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/money-shot/) - I hope they cleaned that money first...

It's a little messy, you may want to hit the ladies room to touch it up. - [Baby In A Cooler](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/baby-in-a-cooler/) - We're thinking there has to be a story behind the cooler prop, but whatever it may be, it really doesn't make up for the fact that they took a picture of a baby in a cooler... At least we can be thankful this whole photo is in grey, not just the baby! - [Et Tu, Walmart?](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/et-tu-walmart/) - Oh great... - [Classically Bad](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/classically-bad/) - It's nice (well, not nice) to see pictures like this still popping up from time to time.

Oh and Fauxtog, you missed a hand. - [Rebel Angel](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/rebel-angel/) - What the heck? - [Don't Be Afraid](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/dont-be-afraid/) - Don't be afraid, those aren't the glowing eyes of a demon emerging from what appears to be a church, it's just the reflection of the flash off this poor lady's glasses. Could the fauxtog have captured her in a more unflattering way? We think not. - [Baby Manhattan? ](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/baby-manhattan/) - So when Dr Manhattan was a child, he wasn't blue? Or did this baby just eat a halogen lamp? - [Not A Keeper](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/not-a-keeper/) - Seriously, this is included in a fauxtog's Gallery? Open mouth in the background, cropped off chin, nothing about this picture says "professional". - [Freaking Fucsia ](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/freaking-fucsia/) - The saturation here not only hurts the eyes, it makes the subject's look a little zombiesque. - [Airbrushed To The Max](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/airbrushed-to-the-max/) - Fauxtogs... airbrushing the realistic right out of pics since the dawn of photo editing. - [Hula Hoop](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/hula-hoop/) - This looks more like something someone snapped with their cellphone at a bar than something from a professional's portfolio. - [Little Old Leprechaun ](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/little-old-leprechaun/) - Just what you want your subject to say! - [Red Shoes](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/red-shoes/) - Nothing says "Very Sexy Valentines Day" like sloppy selectively colored shoes and a lint covered blanket! - [Glow Heart Baby](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/glow-heart-baby/) - It would appear that this fauxtog has a heart-on for bad editing! - [No Mistaking The Focus Of This One](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/no-mistaking-the-focus-of-this-one/) - Oh I wouldn't walk on that bridge if I was you!

And - ["Super Mom" Saves Baby](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/super-mom-saves-baby/) - It's turning out to be quite the debate! Is the mother at fault for leaving the baby unsupervised on the block, or was she simply putting her trust in another fauxtographer who claimed to know what they were doing? Decide for yourself and follow the link to watch the video! http://youtu.be/l0bcAYsUKmg - [Cut Out Couple ](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/cut-out-couple/) - When you don't have a nice backdrop to work with you can always just cut your subjects out and not use any background at all! - [Duck Meets Baby](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/duck-meets-baby/) - And then this happened... ? Happy Easter - [Boa Baby](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/boa-baby/) - Pink boas and pearls really scream infant, don't they? Congrats fauxtog, this image hurts both my eyes and my soul. - [Lawsuit Waiting To Happen](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/lawsuit-waiting-to-happen/) - Poor baby. - [Blurry Is Best?](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/blurry-is-best/) - What's black and white and blurry all over? This photo! - [Layers Of Fun](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/layers-of-fun/) - Oh, so fancy. - [Blow Up Belly](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/blow-up-belly/) - Don't blow too hard, it might pop! - [Hoppy Easter](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/hoppy-easter/) - Look what the Easter Bunny pooped out! - [Professional Picnik Editor](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/professional-picnik-editor/) - Quote : " *Bleep* Photography can also take your existing photos and edit them for you. " Well praise Picnik, just what I've always wanted! Take my poor quality self pics and change them into something even worse... - [Easter Bunny Barf ](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/easter-bunny-barf/) - Fauxtog - "Oh don't worry, because the Easter Bunny seems to have thrown up on this image, I'm giving you 10% off!" - [Hello Sailor](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/hello-sailor/) - Oversaturated, wrinkled, poorly edited shipwreck. - [Cowboy Baby](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/cowboy-baby/) - Cowboy hat - check! Pearls - check! Horrible photo - check! - [LARP Shot](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/larp-shot/) - Well at least they appropriately call their business "fauxtography"! Too bad they don't understand words or photo editing. - [Wedding Portfolio Video](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/wedding-portfolio-video/) - So much fauxtography, all in one video! See if you can watch it all the way to the end, it's a challenge for your eyes! - [Fauxtographor Video](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/fauxtographor-video/) - [She Says No To This One](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/she-says-no-to-this-one/) - Anyone wonder why? - [Baby Back](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/baby-back/) - The concept for this had potential, but then the fauxtog got her grubby Picnik editing fingers all over these poor quality photos and presented the world with this atrocity. - [True Love Stories Have No Endings](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/true-love-stories-have-no-endings/) - And true fauxtogs have no skill. - [Friends Who Are Tied Together, Stay Together](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/friends-who-are-tied-together-stay-together/) - Tying these ladies together with shiny red fabric really helps to show just how good of friends they are! Bravo fauxtog, bravo... - [Look Out Kid](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/look-out-kid/) - Why anyone would want a picture in which it appears their child is about to be hit by a car is beyond me. At least the fauxtog didn't do a good job of it! - [Trash River](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/trash-river/) - Nothing ruins a nice snowy river shot like some floating trash.

Cook?](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/cute-enough-to-cook/) - Adds a whole new meaning to "cute enough to eat" when you throw them in a pot! - [Dust Bunny](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/dust-bunny/) - This fauxtog boasts 20 years of photography experience and features this POS photo in his section of "Animals". Since he didn't even get the whole kitten in his shot and it's very out of focus, we're assuming the animal that he meant to showcase here is that giant dust bunny attached to that filthy broom - [Kool-Aid River](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/kool-aid-river/) - Another beauty from the man who only takes and edits his photos with his iPhone! Can you believe it? Yep, so can we. - [Alien Planet](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/alien-planet/) - Really nice photo shoot on the planet Mars, unless of course that's Earth and the fauxtog is just clueless. - [Why So Sad?](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/why-so-sad/) - Sadest happy couple I have ever seen. Shouldn't you be smiling on your big day? Either way, Jesus is rolling his eyes about having to be part of this horrible photo. - [The Color Of Her Voice Is Purple!](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/the-color-of-her-voice-is-purple/) - I love the vibrant color of her mouth. It just glows! - [Up a Creek](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/up-a-creek/) - Can you imagine walking into someone's house and seeing this hanging on the wall? - [Daily Rewind: The Baby Bump You'll Never Forget](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/daily-rewind-the-baby-bump-youll-never-forget/) - We lost our archives from our old site, so we're posting some of the best of the worst here. We couldn't let you forget this baby bump. - [Spooky](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/spooky/) - I'm afraid to critique this one. Also, I'm totally going to have nightmares for days. Thanks fauxtog. - [Daily Rewind: Erased](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/erase/) - We're posting some of the best of the worst from the old site.

I know all of you pet photographers have been waiting for this. - [Only 75 More Days](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/only-75-more-days/) - Prepare yourselves. Only 75 more days until momtogs, uncle Bobs and untalented emo kids wake up to new expensive cameras under the tree. And only 76 more days until the onslaught of new pros begins. - [Cheesy Baby Bump ](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/cheesy-baby-bump/) - Before the session, the photographer instructed the couple to roll around in Doritos. - [Baby Planking](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/baby-planking/) - Fairy baby planking, it's the next big thing. - [Schooled](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/56/) - I wonder how much it costs to get a fauxtographer to come to my kids school to take blurry snapshots of the kids looking the other way. By the way, this was part of an "Easter shoot." - [Yellow Rose](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/yellowrose/) - I must book this photographer to come into my back yard to take pictures of flowers and add ugly editing effects. - [Fan of Bad Selective Coloring? You'll Love This. ](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/66/) - I do think it takes talent to selective color this horribly. - [Daily Rewind: A Wet Suit](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/daily-rewind-a-wet-suit/) - Since our old site is gone, we're going to post some of our favorites that are too awful to be deleted for good. - [Why?](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/why/) - They are asking it, we are asking it. Just why? - [How to Ruin a Decent Photo with an Ugly Inserted Back Drop](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/how-to-ruin-a-decent-photo-with-an-ugly-inserted-back-drop/) - Decent photo absolutely ruined by the back drop, and nope, it definitely wasn't requested by the bride. - [Daily Rewind: Pretty Girl, Ugly Picture](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/daily-rewind-pretty-girl-ugly-picture/) - Every day, we're posting some of the best of the worst from our old Tumblr site.

It's like the opposite of the last picture we posted. - [Giant Fetus](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/giant-fetus/) - That's one giant baby. - [Daily Rewind: Under the Sea](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/daily-rewind-under-the-sea/) - From the archives of the old site. We couldn't leave this baby behind. - [Daily Rewind: Baby Bump or Homeless Woman?](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/daily-rewind-baby-bump-or-homeless-woman/) - Check our that baby bump, indeed! - [Blur Tool Abuse](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/blur-tool-abuse/) - Fauxtogs are everywhere, even on Amazon abusing the blur tool. - [He Deserves Better](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/he-deserves-better/) - Dude, the guy puts his life on the line for his country and this is what you do to him? This is why YANP exists. He deserved so much better. - [Happy Halloween](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/happy-halloween/) - Happy Halloween! For those of you that weren't able to visit the pumpkin patch this year, this is almost as good, right? - [Framed](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/framed/) - I'm just waiting for the inevitable "that's kinda cool" comments. No, not really. - [Baby Pictures](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/390/) - This will be the picture that haunts this kid for life. The one his moms shows to all of his first dates. - [Hole in the Pumpkin](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/hole-in-the-pumpkin/) - I think this is perfect for all of you coming down from yesterday's sugar high. As an added bonus, if you ate too much candy, this might help you puke it right back up. - [I Need to Drink More](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/i-need-to-drink-more/) - This makes me need a drink. I can only hope there aren't little people floating in my cocktail. - [It's a.....](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/its-a/) - I think it's a wedding. In good news, these can work for a second marriage as well since you can't tell who they are. - [Baby Spit](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/baby-spit/) - Close ups of blurry baby spit just aren't cute. - [In the Bag](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/in-the-bag/) - The baby in a bag trend is especially creepy when it's done poorly. - [Dope](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/dope/) - These are your baby pictures. These are your baby pictures on crack. Seriously, how much dope would you have to smoke to come up with something like this. - [Watermelon](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/watermelon/) - Are you sure it's a girl? This looks like a watermelon covered in cheesecloth to me. - [Not This Again](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/not-this-again/) - Again with the "not my pictures." Why aren't you showing your pictures? I'm smelling a fauxtog. - [Believe](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/believe/) - I don't need more convincing. I totally believe she's a fauxtog. - [A Bee](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/a-bee/) - I think this bee is about to be raptured. How amazing that a photographer was there to catch it all. - [Best of YANAP: Fall 2011](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/best-of-yanap-fall-2011/) - Our first "Best of" list, or should we say worst of? We let all of you be the judge and listed some of the pictures with the most Facebook likes. The baby in the bag trend must go. The future of wedding photography: relatives with nice cameras. We're still not decided if this a - [A Mess](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/mess/) - Where to start, where to start? Maybe the possessed demon eyes? Or the weird color? Maybe the strange frame effect? Maybe the wrinkled back drop? It's a wreck. - [Tourist Snapshot](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/tourist-snapshot/) - I think every tourist that visits the Empire State Building at night has a similar shot. How on Earth does this land in a "professional" portfolio? - [The Money Shot](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/the-money-shot/) - Really? You use this to attract customers? Now I'm the one LMAO. - [Should Have Been Deleted](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/should-have-been-deleted/) - Was this fauxtog jumping in and shooting behind the actual photographer? Either way, how does this not get deleted right away? - [Proud Picniker](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/proud-picniker/) - She uses Picnik and it shows. - [Watermarked](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/watermarked/) - And the award for the worst watermark goes to... this girl. Also, what is up with the weird crop? - [Growing a Plant](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/growing-a-plant/) - I wonder if she's eating lots of plant food to grow that thing. - [Growing a Baby](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/growing-a-baby/) - So according to some fauxtogs, people grow plants and flowers grow babies? - [An Arm](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/an-arm/) - I thought we'd put Halloween behind us. This is horrifying. - [Merry Christmas](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/merry-christmas/) - Since some of you will start addressing and mailing your Christmas cards soon, I thought I'd post some inspiration. A baby face planted with some selective colored Christmas ornaments makes for an attractive card, right? - [Happy Easter](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/happy-easter/) - I thought we'd continue with the holiday theme. Unfortunate positioning of the duck, no? - [Country Girl](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/country-girl/) - I don't have a problem with you being a country girl, however I do question your choice in photographers. What is up with that spot color? - [Fauxtogs Are Dumb](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/fauxtogs-are-dumb/) - This is giving me heart palpitations. Realllllly smart to let a child hang off of an escalator like that. - [Put a Frame On It](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/put-a-frame-on-it/) - If you put a tacky frame around it, that automatically makes anything professional. - [Lounging ](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/lounging/) - I'm trying to come up with a reason for this back drop. Was it garage sale day at the trailer park? - [Return to Under the Sea Land](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/return-to-under-the-sea-land/) - Another under the sea baby. I like how even with all of the editing, the fauxtog couldn't even out baby's skin tone a bit. - [Alien Abduction](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/alien-abduction/) - This is pure genius. The fauxtog captured an alien abduction in progress. - [This Is New](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/this-is-new/) - Botanists all over the world are studying this very picture right now. The fauxtographer seems to have discovered a new flower, and naming rights are up for grabs. - [Big Shoes](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/big-shoes/) - That's one huge pair of shoes. - [Oh Dear](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/oh-dear/) - I'm feeling really overwhelmed and don't even know where to start. - [Shooting Fauxtogs](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/shooting-fauxtogs/) - Fauxtography is dangerous. - [Time Warp](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/time-warp/) - Wow. The fauxtog managed to capture a shot as these girls were time warped to another dimension. - [Santa Hats](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/santa-hats/) - Why do I get the feeling that this is a second shooter. The kid on the left almost looks like he's looking at someone else. Oh, and those hats. - [Merry Christmas!](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/merry-christmas-2/) - Merry Christmas! If you're going to let a baby play with Christmas lights, might as well do it in a piss poor image. - [The Heart Of It](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/the-heart-of-it/) - I'm so glad the fauxtog added in the heart. I almost felt like this picture was missing something. - [I Think the Fauxtog is Blind](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/i-think-the-fauxtog-is-blind/) - How exactly does this happen? Is the fauxtog blind? Or did the customer order up a crappy spot-color job. - [Lions, Tigers and Babies](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/lions-tigers-and-babies/) - Lions and tigers and babies clashing in pink, oh my! - [It's Rather Blah](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/its-rather-blah/) - I don't know if they are trying to sell this or if it's just part of their portfolio. Yes, it's a "pro" advertising services. I just don't know you would look at this picture and think anything other than tourist snapshot. Delete it! - [Five O'clock Shadow](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/five-oclock-shadow/) - I cannot get over those shadows. Wow. - [Is It Uncle Bob? ](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/is-it-uncle-bob/) - Do we have an uncle Bob, taking pictures as a guest and posting them to an online portfolio for their "business?" Or did the couple want half of a headless random woman in their pictures, that are obviously taken without an external flash? - [Pink ](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/pink/) - Blech. Not only is in pink, not in focus, but it's so unflattering. - [In the Backseat (Kinda NSFW)](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/in-the-backseat-kinda-nsfw/) - Ladies, if a man puts you in the back seat of a car and poses you like this, it's not his portfolio he's building. Technically, this isn't good. Composition sucks for starters. - [Zombie Kid](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/zombie-kid/) - Nice way to make a kid look like a zombie. Zombies are all the rage, I suppose. I do hope he chewed off her arm. Nom. Nom. - [The Family That Blurs Together...](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/the-family-that-blurs-together/) - Hi, yes, we'd like our family photo taken, but we want to be blurred out so that we look bad. Just focus on the cute kid, please. I'm sure that conversation never happened and the fauxtog thought this was "creative." - [She's Got to Be Freezing ](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/shes-got-to-be-freezing/) - Times like this I wish I knew how to yodel. Isn't she cold? - [Love Is...](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/love-is/) - Are you sure? Because I thought love was about getting your pictures taken by a fauxtographer that obviously must use Picassa to edit her images. - [Double Chin](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/double-chin/) - That angle would make Twiggy look like she has a double chin. Also, come on, photos AND woodcrafts? - [Again, I'm Speechless](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/again-im-speechless/) - .... That's the sound of my jaw dropping to the floor. - [Do you need a vediorgrapher?](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/do-you-need-a-vediorgrapher/) - So if I knew what the hell a vediographer did, I might be interested. All I can think of is velociraptor. I really hope the two aren't related. Oh, and the picture samples aren't good. Damn, I Forgot to randomly Capitalize words that Shouldn't be. - [Even the Baby Knows You Are Not a Photographer](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/even-the-baby-knows-you-are-not-a-photographer/) - The baby senses his photo is being taken by a fauxtog that will make him look like a zombie, and his expression shows it. - [Punch](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/punch/) - Client - "So I'd really like the focus of my portrait to be my fist!" Fauxtog - "Awesome idea Bro!" - [Deadly Butterflies](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/deadly-butterflies/) - The butterflies circle their prey, preparing for the attack. The baby knows it. - [Best Photo](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/best-photo/) - If this is one of your best photos, I seriously don't even want to see the rest. - [Food for Thought: Chances Are You Suck](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/food-for-thought-chances-are-you-suck/) - Follow the link for this article. My favorite section: "Your Facebook friends, your Twitter followers... hate you. Instead of taking ten seconds to say. "This doesn't work. You need to do better". They readily push that "like" button, because it's easy and they hope to get the same from you, but also because they're cowards. - [Love Mail From Alex](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/love-mail-from-alex/) - Dear Youarenotaphotographer.com, In my opinion your website is perfect and just the right dose of medicine for fauxtogs and photographers alike. I am a photographer and I started my business late 2010. Now at first I did just think, 'hey I'm good' because 1 out of 20 pictures would be decent. Then my mother, who has - [Triangle Hands?](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/triangle-hands/) - I guess this is supposed to be a "heart hands" photo, but looks more like triangle hands to me, oh and the focus is awful. - [Drink Up, If You Like Babies](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/drink-up-if-you-like-babies/) - Cheers? I don't think I can drink to this. Not only is it a baby in a glass. It's a baby dressed in a Christmas outfit in a cup, with an odd background. - [Feet First](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/feet-first/) - Apparently disembodied feet are really hot right now, oh and date stamps of course, they're...timeless. - [An Unfortunate Pentax Ad](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/an-unfortunate-pentax-ad/) - What were they thinking? Follow the link for the ad. - [Fantasy](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/fantasy/) - I'm sorta thinking this is genius. The fauxtog happens upon this girl with a unicorn, and obviously since it's a unicorn, she takes a quick snap shot and shares it on her Facebook. Surely, no photographer would post this as "real" work. - [The Picnik Replacement...*Head Desk*](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/the-picnik-replacement-head-desk/) - Last month, the editing site Picnik announced it was shutting down later this year, and fauxtogs across the world freaked out. How would the edit their pictures now? Well, today at YANAP, we ran across the Picnik replacement, PicMonkey. We even created something beautiful for you to illustrate the sites, err, features. - [From Bad to Worse](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/from-bad-to-worse/) - Before: A lackluster snapshot. After: A total train wreck. - [Scary Floating Belly](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/scary-floating-belly/) - The font says 1990s gansta. The large belly in the middle of the photo looks like a beer belly to me. She's carrying a gangsta in her beer belly, only explanation I can come up with. - [So Many Questions](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/so-many-questions/) - And this is why this site exists. What the hell is the black thing the baby is holding that disappears to the foreground? What's with the random red on baby's hand? Why isn't the picture in focus? I could keep asking the questions until next Christmas and never understand. - [This Ring Has Powers](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/this-ring-has-powers/) - Don't take the ring!!! It turns people yellow. Well, actually I suppose yellow is a step up from blah tone, so hurry, grab the ring. - [Tiny Toes](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/tiny-toes/) - That shadow is killing me. I bet the fauxtog saw the lighting was horrible, and thought, "I know I'll change it to black and white--that fixes everything." Unfortunately, it also doesn't fix the awkward positioning of the feet and random ruffles peeking out. - [The Birds and the Bees](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/the-birds-and-the-bees/) - We don't need a replay of how the baby was made in a maternity picture. - [I do...](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/i-do/) - ...use super ugly backgrounds. - [Larger Than Life](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/larger-than-life/) - Just what every woman wants. If she's pregnant--I'm assuming that's what the heart hands mean--she already feels like she's swallowed Shamu, no reason to do this to her. - [Groupon Seems to Support False Advertising](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/groupon-seems-to-support-false-advertising/) - Groupon knew this photographer was using pictures from another photog to advertise her services on their site. (Link in sentence above, anything that follows is an embedded ad, not related to above content) - [Mommy to be?](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/mommy-to-be/) - Besides the bracelet which tells us, "mommy to be," I don't get pregnancy from this. You can barely tell it's a belly. - [Sh*t Fauxtographers Say](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/sht-fauxtographers-say/) - We couldn't resist posting this after our last post. - [Shtuff People Say to Photographers](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/shtuff-people-say-to-photographers/) - Love it. - [Before You Even Think of Hanging That Newborn in a Net, Read This](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/before-you-even-think-of-hanging-that-newborn-in-a-net-read-this/) - This woman is most certainly a photographer, but we're linking to her guest post as a PSA to all fauxtogs. I cringe thinking one day a fauxtographer is seriously going to hurt a baby. - [A Bargain](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/a-bargain/) - What a bargain. And, seriously I need to get into the take a mediocre picture and charge a ridiculous amount line of business. - [In a World without Picnik, What Happens to the New Fauxtogs?](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/in-a-world-without-picnik-what-happens-to-the-new-fauxtogs/) - Of course she was using the site to start off her "career." It's what all reputable photogs do, right? - [Jaw Dropping](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/jaw-dropping/) - I literally felt my jaw drop when I opened this one. How could you ever think this was good? There's no way. - [He's Got Guts](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/hes-got-guts/) - That's ballsy to sell a washed out photo of a random child that you edited in GIMP. - [Trailer Ring](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/trailer-ring/) - Did the fauxtog not notice the car on a trailer in the background? - [So Bad, It's Kinda Good](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/so-bad-its-kinda-good/) - This is so bad, it's kinda good. I can totally see that ugly 70s/80s furniture coming back and being popular with hipsters. And lighting, smiting. - [Pixie Dust](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/pixie-dust/) - We could have cross posted this on You Are Not a Graphic Designer. It's like Tinkerbell snorted pixie dust and went crazy. - [I'm New to This](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/im-new-to-this/) - I just got a DSLR. Actually, I just have a point and shoot, but I saw some of my friend's open up photography shops, and I really always liked takin' pictures, so here I am! Puke. - [She Makes Less Than Minimum Wage](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/she-makes-less-than-minimum-wage/) - This my friends proves that you indeed do get what you pay for. If you can't read the weird font, that's $300 per a wedding with a second shooter. - [Spot Color, Baby](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/spot-color-baby/) - I know, I know enough with the weird ultrasound pictures, right? It's like a train wreck, we just can't stop posting them and look away. Yucky spot color and inability to tell baby is a baby and not her intestines make this one worthy of this site, among other things. - [Shiny Feet](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/shiny-feet/) - Why is that kids seem to be the fauxtogs favorite victims? Five minutes later, and I have floaters in my eyes from those rings. By the time we end this site, I'm going to have to have an eye doctor on speed dial. - [Love Mail ](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/love-mail/) - People like us, they really do. "I for one applaud you for your efforts. People don't have to visit your site. And in my humble opinion, you have every right to expose them for what they are. If the BBB graded their business, would anyone have a problem with it??? I am a military photographer, - [Not Another One](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/not-another-one/) - If you learn nothing else from this site, for the love of God, please tell me none of you will ever, ever try the ultrasound superimposed onto the body shot, or in this case, weirdly posed on top of the bump? - [Orange Feet](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/orange-feet/) - So are you all putting your best foot forward in 2012? - [How to Not Be a Fauxtog](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/how-not-to-be-a-fauxtog/) - I was browsing through our stats this evening when I noticed someone landed on this site searching for "How not to be a fauxtog."

I'm not gonna look that one up and find pros that use it, then I'd be even more obnoxious about this than I already am ;) - [Reply To: you're not a real photographer because your camera is too small/ not full frame](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/forums/reply/reply-to-youre-not-a-real-photographer-because-your-camera-is-too-small-not-full-frame-19/) - To be slightly pedantic the Sony A7 is a full frame mirrorless - [Reply To: Radio flash trigger](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/forums/reply/reply-to-radio-flash-trigger-6/) - Thanks Nesgran, I will check them out as well. - [Reply To: you're not a real photographer because your camera is too small/ not full frame](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/forums/reply/reply-to-youre-not-a-real-photographer-because-your-camera-is-too-small-not-full-frame-18/) - @ Bill, I think no. 1 is the full frame too. I'm no way a pixel peeper, or very techy, but the colours seem a little crisper. but I don't think it's a fair competition anyway as imo the composition in the first one is better than the second; nice clear b/g, use of three, - [Reply To: you're not a real photographer because your camera is too small/ not full frame](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/forums/reply/reply-to-youre-not-a-real-photographer-because-your-camera-is-too-small-not-full-frame-17/) - Here's another list of lousy cropped body professionals that shouldn't be charging http://www.bestmirrorlesscamerareviews.com/2013/08/23/13-amazing-professional-photographers-who-use-mirrorless-cameras-on-the-job/ And these guys!

That means a full frame body and proper lenses/lighting. Peter Hurley uses medium format (mostly because he has it) and shoots head shots! By that standard, full frame is too small. Trey Ratcliff and Zach Arias think APS-C is fine for what they are doing. ## Categories - [Uncategorized](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/category/uncategorized/) - [Weddings Gone Wrong](https://youarenotaphotographer.com/category/weddings-gone-wrong/) -
