So I got to look at a friend's pictures which he is happy with technically and asthetically but he feels they are to commercial. I'm not sure my friend reads this blog but I am going to give my feelings on his latest work none the less.
The series of work was good to look at and I had my favourites.But in general it did not seem to tell me anything. I see someone following a look and choosing a subject to suit that look.
The question that needs to be asked is does this work represent what you are interested in? What is the subject?
The subject should not be chosen to suit a look, the look comes with time after working the subject, whatever that may be. Concentrate on showing me what you want to show me, not how well your lighting skills are coming along or your photoshop techniques. My gut feel here is to tell you to stop looking at other peoples work and just shoot your own.
Sorry I cannot show you the work I refer to, you will have to trust me.
