If it seems like there are soooo many photographers out there these days it's because, well, there are. And yes, it is VERY easy to get lost in the comparison game. I have been photographing people for 4 years now and every single year I have come closer and closer to where I want to be as a photographer, and yet I still have so much to learn. And that is good, I think constant growth is key in every area of life! Photography, as an art, has changed so much in the last several years, you can get a nice digital camera without breaking the bank. And, you can break a lot of "rules" in photography now, artist expression is all the rage:-) Personally I have changed my outlook in the last few years to narrow in on exactly what kind of photography I enjoy. Senior's and fashion/personal photography is becoming my key interest, with a few family sessions thrown in the mix. I love these types of shoots, and am so excited about what the future will hold. I have started branching out, trying to get my name out there a little, which can be scary. You just never know what someone will think! I recently submitted a few photos to a blog all about senior photography called
seniorologie and was contacted about having my concept shoot featured on the blog!! I was so excited! If you missed it you can see it
here. It's encouraging to see others enjoying my work. I love what I do, and am enjoying every second of this year. As a self-taught photographer I have learned more this year than all years previous by searching out some great, free, online websites! If you are a photographer just starting out and would like some great tools to turn to for futher learning here are my favorites!:
-
Framed Network
-
Professional Photographer
-
Miller's Lab
-
Michelle Moore
-
Seniorologie
I wanted to share some of the concept shoot photos on my blog, because I haven't yet:-) and give a huge thank you to Michelle, my model, for being awesome and helping me with this project! If you missed her senior photos on the blog you can see those
here! I am looking forward to a few more awesome concept shoots before the summer is over!
Thanks for reading! {nel}
