1. We all change. I'd LIKE to think its human nature. Yet the pic of Audrey often get criticized for being terrible.
So what's wrong with it?
If you'd believe some people, just about everything.
Though the subject matter is pleasant to look at - the lighting is poor, my shooting angle is wrong, the high film speed (to use an archaic term) creates unnecessary grain, there's an unsightly lenses flare going on, I haven't presented the model in a flattering angle, her pose is wrong, etc, etc.
And if I'm being honest, they're right!
Why do I bring all this up?
This piece is another pivot point in my work where I no longer completely care. Those very imperfections add to an interesting mood specifically when I & others see a sultry yet mysterious vibe.
From my experience, one can learn all the technical things. But if a person doesn't have that spark to make whatever they're creating interesting or the capacity to convey whatever it is you're trying to convey, there's only so much stale technical mastery can do salvage the situation.
Will this cause me to lose clients or turn off people off? Maybe. But would they have hired me to begin with? Probably not.
Everyone has an opinion on everything these days EVEN WHEN they've prefaced it with "Well, I'm not an expert but-" & then goes on to pontificate for the next 4 minutes why their NON-expert opinion should matter. Great job on undermining your own crediblity.
Experts who've dedicated their professional lives in their chosen field are dismissed and rank amateurs are lauded for opinions on topics THEY THEMSELVES have said they know nothing a about.
I guess that's simply the age we're living in.
2. Currently selling my work. If anything particular shot, any model, or any set interests you, please email me here.
Just tell me what interests you & I'll see what I can do. I try to work within budgets but I'm also not going to like give them away for pennies on the US dollar.
