Is there such thing as a perfect photo?... no. You see a picture and you think its perfect, sure there's bound to be other people that think the same way as you but at the same time theres people that think the exact opposite. It all comes down to the lookers perspective and every single one is different.
A photographers worst enemy is specializing. We get into a pattern and settle into the comfort of shooting the same thing the same way time after time. The people with a compatible perspective will still like your photos but you wont be gaining any new viewers and those old ones are sure to fizzle out due to the monotony.
Every now and again I find myself falling into one of those ruts and the truth is its a fairly comfortable spot. Then I realize that I'm getting absolutely nothing done and I have to find something new. Its pretty much throwing stuff at a wall and seeing what sticks. Stepping out of the comfort zone and shooting anything and everything you can.
This time around fashion stuck. Shooting fashion is awesome. I always thought of it as basically a section of portraiture but its definitely not. Soo different and at least in my mind quite a bit more technical. It seems to be the opposite of shooting landscapes and thats what I did all winter so I think its a healthy change. We'll see where it goes but I'm having fun and building a solid portfolio so things seem to be working out all right.
Here's a few from the last week:
