I did a bit of searching around to see just who was behind this gem of a turd trying to pass itself off as a quality site. I found this on one of the webmasters other sites.

“The photographer lovingly known as “Afterglow” is one of the original and still one of the best Internet photographers specializing in girls, girls, girls.”

Really?  he is going to claim to be one of the original AND best photographers specializing in girls on the Internet?  Well I would have thought with so much experience he would at least have some decent photography to show for it.  Still, he really fancies himself quite the expert, and has a page titled “Myths of Photography“   I think it is funny that despite many of the photographs on his site clearly being done with a digital camera, he somehow focuses on film on this page.  I also get the feeling that this page is to somehow defend himself against the criticism he likely gets.  I especially liked this part:

MYTH: “The photographer should never touch the model.”
TRUTH: Supposedly, touching a model is “unprofessional behavior.” For starters, photography is an art, not a profession. Doctors, attorneys, accountants: these people work in professions. They take other people’s lives, freedom, and wealth into their care. There is nothing comparable in photography, so any reference to photographers as “professionals” is metaphorical at best. I touch models all the time (I do a lot of photography, so “all the time” does not mean “all the time during a shoot,” it means more like “every few days or weeks”). I get permission before the shoot to touch them in reasonable ways and I demonstrate what I mean while they are still clothed. I’ve never had a model refuse me, so I don’t see what the problem is. Usually, all this involves is touching joints: wrists, elbows, knees, etc. Why do I need to touch the model? Because it can often be very difficult and time-consuming (not to mention frustrating) to fine-tune a pose strictly through verbal commands. Of course, I also promise to keep my hands off the most sensitive areas. Besides, I’ll tell you a little secret: I work with girls who are exhibitionists and thrill-seekers. They actually enjoy a little physical contact and the thought of what might happen if I misbehaved is part of the fun. If a girl shows any fear of being molested or any kind of touchiness during the initial interview, it usually means I won’t work with her. (This also includes those girls who insist on wanting their S.O. or a “friend” present during the shoot. What could be riskier than working with a girl who is actually expecting something to go wrong?)

He goes on to try and sell crappy books on how to recruit models and get them to spread their legs for you.  The content inside is boring and although there is an ok number of photo sets, I don’t think there have been any updates in at least 5 years.

The tour claims you can join for only $9.95 a month.  But actually it is $19.95 a month.  I guess Afterglow’s math is about as good as his photography.
