Am I not allowed to have opinion about your opinion than? %)

You are, but then you are no better than me.

[chu-lips]

Leslie is shimoko part 2 now
many people starts blaming him
LOL

[happiholic★]

I like both of them equally. I have no strong opinions on either. Sometimes I like the photos, sometimes I don't.

[emi♡]

idk I think shimoko x ayu is just not great.

leslie seems to have both ups and downs with her though.

unless you're passing a day = 100 years... it's definitely not dinosaur age =P It's just less than 3 weeks ago.

[panda♥]

too much of a good thing can be bad.

most everyone disliked Shinomura and wanted her to start using Leslie more often.
now Leslie is being used too much and everyone is starting to dislike him. XD

Those pictures and the ones from Twitter are worthless. They always look as if Ayu would use a 15 years old webcam or something. Far from high resolution photos, so basically not much can be seen on such, let's call them, snapshots.

Only way to see real photos of Ayu in high resolution are the ones fans are uploading after meeting Ayu in person.

^ and her photos like that always have bad lighting so things are unclear, or the weird blur effects.

I think the only 100% natural one is that reallly tiny and grainy photo in one of the (m)u photobooks. It's too small though, and too LQ to tell anything though (which isn't a coincidence...)

[TeamAyu2004]

I never really cared for Leslie to begin with... true he has some really FANTASTIC pictures, but over all I think he is HIGHLY overrated.

[Earth_maiden]

I don't care much for any photographers, I never have and I probably never will. Ayu's physical image doesn't seem to mean much to me, Photoshopped or not. I only know Leslie's work becasue he's been forced down our throats the past year or so (or more?). I just want her to have long dark hair, and I want it now. I wanted it last year.

[Kazeyomi]

omg yes, dark hair I'm used to see her blonde but Ayu dark long hair is much better .

btw I'm not getting bored easily, but yeah would be nice to see other photographers working with her.

If I'm not wrong, I'm only answering to this "basically thats where 'plastic' image came from. you can google ayu pictures from now till the end of time you won't find untouched pic of her if its not from age when dinosaurs were walking and that doesnt count."

[truehappiness]

I'm still fine with Leslie, to be honest...

He seems to have been experimenting with new photography techniques though compared to his style from 2001 to around 2008.

[channy]

Ayu needs new people around her. Leslie is just one of many "photographer" that mess up their own work with photoshop. A good photo does not need to be retouched.

[emi♡]

I respectfully disagree....I'm not against photoshop in any way...in fact...honestly, I've even used it to fix people's faces in pictures that I don't like.

One time I used it to make kuu's nose look smaller, or ayu's lips, or namie's wrinkles...but mostly to fix make up.


Sometimes I think with Ayu...they just don't know where to stop, or they go so far, that then they have the problem of making it look real and right, which requires more photoshop. Kinda like the photoshoppers for Victoria's Secret.

I don't need completely unretouched photos...just every now and then, I think I'd like her to actually look like a person. I don't think it's been THAT bad though...just still kinda annoying.

[ownsarai]

I agree with emi.
There is never going to be a professional shot of Ayu that hasn't had some kind of editing done to it...let me stress the word NEVER. Even her iPhone photos are instagram-ed. It doesn't bother me much, I just wish the editors/photographers would tone it down a bit. They make her look like she's not real sometimes. But Ayu obviously likes the editing that is done, otherwise she would complain or stop using them all together.

Its not that she uses a 15 year old webcam, its the fact that she is taking photos at night or in a dim lit room which explains the quality of the photos, and its not like she carries a fully HD compatible camera with her for her snaps, its just her phone. But for a phone photo, they seem to do a decent job at taking photos at night
