>>3458327Focus on the technical basics, get them straight, then bend your will into your photos.
These sort of avantgarde artsy style photos you compare your work to are fucking trash-tier garbage yet have us all mesmerized by "wooh, double exposure/comfy asian text neon-sign alleyway/still-moving life"
Give me a fucking break.
Break _into_ the mould of the mountain of photography wannabe rejects attempting to show the world how they break _out_ of said mould with their pathetic attempts. All they leave behind is rubble, so document their failures. That'd be a laugh.
>Inb4 "hurr incel adams shill"Fuck that guy. Anyone can take a picture of a mountain, it isn't going anywhere. The power of photography lies in your ability to bring a refreshing unique view of the typical in untypical contexts and vice versa. A mountain with high contrasty clouds is fine and all, but how about a bokeh from way up high that gives that "miniatirized" look of a specific mountain range amongst others, like those bokeh-shots of cars and people on streets against a backdrop of buildings.
How about photos from angles that should be theoretically impossible, but non-euclidan space tricks are employed to make impossible, possible.
I myself have a death stare compilation. People have this splitsecond "i see you photographing me and I'm kinda not happy about it but i look at you anyway and this is the scowl that I could prepare in the 1/400th of a second available"-face/scowl which they wear once the notice me snapping them. I'm a fucking psychopath behind a camera, I'll admit. Sue me
Just take photos man, get gud first tho, then worry about if other people think you are "gud" too.
