>>3626902>I feel like a lot of my photographs get glanced over b/c they don't immediately pop—a side effect from me looking at them for hours and trying to find out why I like them or why I don't.its a compromise: they say that the medium is the message. i've never fully understood what that meant, but i guess in this context it could be understood to mean that the artwork itself needs to be understood in the context in which it is presented
>>3626902i think the rules are good as a framework for posing good shots, and later analyzing why you like/dislike them. as with most rules, they should be discarded once you learn the essence behind them
>For example, Edward Hopper (B9VsGPkFJce) was an inspiration for a lot of my interior shots through windowsi can certainly see that! its certainly tricky because hopper also has a lot of subtle character elements that a photographer can only dream of encountering, but i can certainly see a strong influence that you seem to wield well
i would crop the image you posted like this. i think there is a little more narrative / focus here, but perhaps i am just showing my personal bias here
np!
