>>2985020>Your photos are vapid.Yeah, they're shallow. I'm well aware. I love exploitation cinema and pulp. Arguments about subtext of many of those films aside, I'm not trying to make deep work. I'm not trying to make art. I'm working from a pure aesthetic place, and I'm trying to make work that I like, and I enjoy. I'm also not ignorant of the connotations of things like red lights, the subjects I shoot/how I shoot them. They are conscious decisions. Would I change some aspects of some of my shoots after more meditation and discussion? Yes, as would I'm pretty sure anyone you asked who cares about what they do.
>You haven't improved and shoot the same thing over and over.I personally know I've improved, and not just in the end product, but in the process of shooting/working with people and teams and the logistics of it. I'm not even going to elaborate on this because I know I'm going to get shit regardless. As for shooting the same thing over and over, I'll concede that it's probably the best critique in here, and it's accurate to a point. Like I said earlier, I work in a very specific subgenere of photography, and I haven't branched out from it very much. I'm still going to work within this general realm of photography but am going to make an effort to try and branch into more fashion photography, or more rough/narrative cinematic photography. Or perhaps just bite the bullet and move towards video, like I've been interested in for a few years now.
