CALGARY -- Although photos of families on their front steps snapped from a distance has gained popularity on social media, a national photography association is recommending these "porchraits" be stopped.
While she recommended $50 for four to five prints with 75 per cent being donated to the Calgary Foodbank, she said she has donated all of the funds from for porch portraits.While Fitzpatrick said she will honour bookings for the next week, after that she will discontinue taking porch portrait photographs.The Professional Photographers of Canada is advising its members to suspend the style of photography during the COVID-19 pandemic.
But what aboutquarantinethroughglass ! Pretty neat.
If Justin does it it's safe. If we do it we're criminals.
Any little fun idea you might have come up with, NO
Really? Seriously? Why is this news?
This is totally ridiculous. If you are safe to go to the grocery store, then this is also safe. Good grief.
Well, they got us to click and make comments. Such stupidity.
THEY SHOULD GO BACK TO BED MAKE AN OTHER ONE ......CRACK POT !
Must be a slow news day. This is ridiculous.
Slippery slope to the Police state
This is ridiculous. The photographer takes the photo from the sidewalk or from their car parked on the street.
That is a bit much...
How is this any different than 'curbside' pick up? I would argue it's actually safer. These pics can be sent digitally with absolutely no contact, whereas curb side pick up requires an employee to touch said items and the said items are touched by the customer.
Is that Austin Matthews posing in this front porch portrait.
What an absolute joke !
Maybe cancel all the bullshit journalism Same thing, except they are way more cutthroat as seen in our little town of Bobcaygeon - soon breathing will become illegal. Lmao. What a joke this whole thing is!!!
So what CAN people do during this pandemic that'll require we stay inside for months that'll prevent them from jumping?
Man he is with his wife and child on their property .can it
How the fuck is that not safe? Explain the logic please. Common sense must prevail.
Because the Professional Photographers of Canada are the medical experts. Such killjoys.
This is just ridiculous. If people are taking pictures with their family members that they live with than this shouldn’t be a problem. The photographer is keeping their distance.
Bologna
is it 2 meters or not?
Fear strikes again
Slow news day?
Another stupid article
Oh stop it please, enough of the nit picking. People still have free will, let them decide what is reasonably safe not the couch surfer who does not have all the facts
Everyone has gone f*cking insane. It's frightening how easily people were turned into a panicked mob.
You're getting sick.... it's ok, we know what's coming.
The Social Distancing tool is a Government Deception to separate us, to dis-empower us. Systemic fear generation by Gov and it's long arm the MSM is the foundation of domination. One of the basic prerequisites which is fundamentally the conscious generation of neurotic anxiety.
Ya right.
So the photos on Sophie’s Instagram feed today are a good example of social distancing then are they? Hypocrites
Shut up already....
How about this? Safe?
Nobody asked.
They’re fine, if they live together snd don’t go out unnecessarily this is ok. This is called safe folks.
Wtf are you talking about? It’s the definition of it!
And do you think the guy sitting next to his wife on the porch have a 6 ft shlong inside the house? How is a couple sitting together on the porch not safe? what do they do inside the house?
Not sure I am comfortable accepting health advice from an association of pic takers.
This is pretty silly.
Time to leave the narcissism behind. Start thinking a wee bit deeper people.
More hard-hitting journalism from CTV. How about pet-grooming during a pandemic?
My guess it was just a bitter photographer who wanted to be paid for this service and not have it given away for free, Health Canada should have politely told them to fuck off, it’s not hurting anyone, everyone is keeping their distance and stop acting like a spoiled child
IMO: Asking someone to leave their home so you can have a porch portrait to remember when the global economy collapsed and tens of thousands died in a short timespan and we are shut in and afraid due to Covid? Privilege on a platter.
Honestly, who cares.
Probably because is the most unnatural image of this times... we are trying our best but we are not that happy 😳
Lmao this such a gay photo though lmao
Not an essential service. And please “part payment going to a charity”. I’m certain families can survive without a professional photo shoot during a pandemic for a couple of months. Use a selfie stick FFS. Can’t believe this is even a thing.
Thinking the pros teach kids, before the next time virus days happen.
This is an example of peak stupidity!
This is getting to be a bit much! cdnpoli cdnmedia COVID19
Are the PPOC also MD’s with expertise in virology? This is just ridiculous.
I want my porch portrait done tomorrow..... nofucks
Absolutely safe, take a long hard suck.
peoples almonds are getting activated
Just use one of those newfangled filters.
F OFF
This is insane, photographers keeping their distance from people. To photograph what has never happened before in our lifetime is essential
They can't sit on the step together, but they can go inside and live together. Makes sense!
This recommendation is not coming from the medical experts. It leads to confusion among the public.
Odd given that the PM is travelling to be with his family while declaring that everyone else should do their part and stay home. N
But, are they not allowed to be together inside the house? 🤔
Lol well this is sort of ridiculous but ok
Next they will suggest that husbands shouldn't sleep with their wives. That's how insane this social distancing has become.
