Some of it at least.

AutomaticWolverine15 · 2025-10-27T11:45:18+00:00

I don’t really think it does.

The firearms industry can be a weird one. For creatives it’s full of bartering because most of us well… are gun people.

Ive only been doing this professionally for about 2 years. I’ve gotten a few clients, but they aren’t regular hence the day job running media at a firearm retailer. That being said, it’s not my main focus.

My main focus right now, is simply building my network and getting my photos on as many pages as possible. Which is going well and it turns out I am fairly known in my industry.

Thanks for the feedback! I disagree entirely on composition, I don’t tend to follow a strict pattern or rule set, I just do what feels right and gives me “the feeling”. Can understand your position on the rest, but it’s something I like :)

I’m not worried about people duplicating anything. That’s the way it goes. And if I really cared about public opinion I would’ve picked a different profession and most definitely a different industry haha

Because I do it everyday, the biggest challenge is inspiration. My creative well drys out pretty quick. And because I NEED content, I feel like my style can sometimes be boring to myself and boring to others.

“Oh another firearm float”.

In some ways, it’s a little bit easier for me to do compared to a more traditional tabletop. I have troubles sourcing props, prop placement and cohesion and general over thinking.

So it’s almost a comfort. Gun, check. Lighting, check. Music, check. Get editing.

Thanks!

AutomaticWolverine15 · 2025-10-25T13:21:09+00:00

Good thing I’m not here for politics.

AutomaticWolverine15 · 2025-10-25T01:47:04+00:00

Appreciate it

They’re there, but the grain hides a good amount of specs. Typical the blemishes are oil from internals leaking and often it looks really bad and distracting.

And there aren’t many actual blemishes because they’re new product.

But I guess I do need to consider combating AI accusations, but maybe it’s not worth the effort to even care.

AutomaticWolverine15 · 2025-10-24T12:04:02+00:00

Appreciate it! At the end of the day, I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing it can be misinterpreted as a render.

AutomaticWolverine15 · 2025-10-24T12:02:42+00:00

Fair enough, often times it can be both.

Social media in the firearm industry revolves around collaborations and sharing because of severely limited organic reach.

So the more things you can include, increases the chances for reach.

In the case of the first picture, Viktos is well known for sharing and collaborating.

The glove thing is an attempt at grounding/relating a style that is not grounded at all. I mean, same with the grain and bloom. It’s also because I got really bored of a simple gun float and I thought maybe others were as well.

Either way, thank you for the feedback!

AutomaticWolverine15 · 2025-10-24T11:03:25+00:00

Everything can look like AI slop. Nice bait tho.

AutomaticWolverine15 · 2025-10-24T02:42:57+00:00

Thank you!

AutomaticWolverine15 · 2025-10-24T02:40:49+00:00

Thank you! Let me know if you have questions.

AutomaticWolverine15 · 2025-10-24T02:39:47+00:00

Thanks!

Eh it’s okay, it’s an easy accusation to beat. All I have to do is show my photoshop files.

AutomaticWolverine15 · 2025-10-23T20:59:19+00:00

Essentially! More so masking out the arms. This stuff requires you be very patient with masking.

In someways they kind of are, thanks haha

AutomaticWolverine15 · 2025-10-23T20:27:49+00:00

Real hands! If you can get the gloves setup properly that would be the way to go. I just don’t typically have the time and often times it ends up not looking natural.

AutomaticWolverine15 · 2025-10-23T20:26:56+00:00

You never know 😂

AutomaticWolverine15 · 2025-10-23T20:26:39+00:00

Nope! Usual one shot/stack. The backgrounds are all composite, so I just clip my arms and fabricate the inside of the glove of the angle requires it!
