>>3633965Duly noted regarding your feedback on my set. And thanks for being constructive with it. It stung a little since I’m pretty happy with them, but in reality, I know it’s unlikely my photos are anything special yet, having started a few months ago.
I agree wholeheartedly about learning to focus. Also, I don't remember to think about composition in the moment (beyond some rule of thirds guidelines). So, you're right; I don't imagine my composition before shooting. I’m very much looking forward to developing better instincts in that department.
Your advice about trying to make my subjects look good, I'm struggling to accept though. I like portraying people as they are and by what they show me. I talk to these people beforehand to get them comfortable so that they'll more likely be themselves with me. I feel I would betray my style - albeit an infantile one- with a motive to portray them in a premeditated way. I do appreciate your advice still though. You’re essentially telling me to be more creative - which is always good advice. I should always look for opportunities outside the box – that would probably call for some staging from time to time anyway.
Okay good advice. I’m high, so I wrote more than I needed to. Forgive. It’s mostly for myself I guess.
I’m mostly really happy that I got constructive feedback and didn’t have my heart shattered. I used to be so fragile. kthxbye
