Williams Rogers Photography aka Challenging Photography

I had an entirely different opening written for this photographer.  I thought it was just another run-of-the-mill photographer that had a gallery full of images that were not his own original works and la-de-dah.

NOPE.

This guy has a portrait gallery that has a few images that appears to be his won works under “Morrow Studios” intermixed with some beautiful girls in what appears to be a senior photography type session.  The original images from these sessions is actually nude images of models.  Some of these images he cropped out the racier bits so they appeared to be wholesome portraits of your average beautiful girl.

I’ll let that sink in and creep you out like it did me.

I thought about not even going on with this one because I am horrified, sick and kind of creeped out.  I don’t want to send people to the original sessions because they are marketed as the “teen” genre.  But then I thought about someone hiring this guy to take pictures of their teenaged daughter and I decided to go ahead with it.

SO, when that section of this post comes up keep in mind the original source links are all NSFW and I will mention this again and again because I don’t want to hear anyone bitching at me that they didn’t know.  I’m also not using screen captures for these images for obvious reasons.

We’ll start with the website.  The scrolling gallery on the right is the images in the gallery so we’ll go there next.

The gallery page.

The first image doesn’t have a source so we’ll go to the next image in the grid.  Also, all the wedding sources are safe for work.

Will the real photographer please stand up?  I’m not going to list the original source b/c SO MANY PHOTOGRAPHERS have this on their site.

Another image where I’m unsure of the original source.

These images do not have their own pop up windows so I’m going to link their original sources below.

WARNING  these images listed below are all from nude sessions.  Some are cropped versions of a racy image, some are the initial clothed image of the otherwise nude session.  ALL SOURCES ARE NSFW!!!!!!

The sources below are in order they appear in the gallery above from L to R, up then down the rows.  I’m not including screen captures.

I would source all of these as I’m certain 90% of these are not William’s original works but I’ll stick to the ones that really bothered me the most.

I think this page used to be a photography tutorial page and he turned it into his business Fan Page.  Still no excuse.

The original link is above but I wanted to post this one because of what he typed below the image, “I am often asked which is the best place to take family photo’s, sometimes the best places are just the back garden or a local park.”

The original image has an upskirt shot of this girl in her underwear.

I was going to do more but I can’t.  I just can’t look at these young girls anymore and think about what this photographer may have been trying to accomplish with a gallery of images that he didn’t take that are cropped nudes/racy images.

I need a drink.
