A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Hi, so lately I've been going through a photography block for months and because of saturation of images on social media like Instagram, I was wondering where do you find like genuinely good photography to look at? You know something that really resonates with you and sparks your love for photography again...

I don't look to social media for inspiration.

I occasionally watch YouTube videos for information to refresh my knowledge or learn new things in different areas of photography that I generally don't shoot. Plenty of the inspiration with learning.

Plus I have a list of over twenty sites where I live to take images on a wide variety of subjects, both day and night.

I run with the Nike slogan "Just do it."

I don't look to social media for inspiration but I do like to post my photography on there. Lately, everytime I post, I just feel bad afterwards because I feel like my work has become stagnant and I need a new oomph factor to my work. Basically break my style etc.

You have the right thought to me. Break your style. Try new things, experiment, have fun.

Myself, I never really had a style as it is a pure hobby for me. I love taking pictures of any image that catches my eyes. Probably why I look at all kinds of genres so I can take what I see.

Hope you figure out something that works for you.
