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.

Not a homework question lol just something I've been thinking about lately!
I guess what I mean by self expression is when the project concept is entirely based upon a feeling or the photographer's experience. Ie the concept comes from the self. There's obviously numerous exhibitions/photobooks where this is very common but I'm curious as how it fits in outside the 'fine art' part of the industry and into more specific areas of different forms of photography-based jobs. In my head a specific style of shooting is inevitable, but self-expression is optional and dependent on concept.
Interesting about what you said about clear creative vision taking priority. I wonder if this depends on the photographer and their working style, or if/how much self-expression in some way dictates this.
Plenty of food for thought. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts
You're very welcome, glad to share.
As an aside, I have no idea why you're getting downvoted and I like that you started a bit of a thoughtful conversation here. Keep on keepin' on, friend.
Me neither lol. Thank you!
