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.

Heyoo guys. I have an soul roblem. I fell like i m still bad at photography. I took over 10k photos with a Sony a6000 in 1 year and only few of them are "good". I can t get out of this felling. I just began a photography course in my town, but i still don t think my photos are good enough. I allways wonder about time spent for over 10k, more precise 11 243 shots. And i look at other photographers having only 4-5k photos taken and their photos being so good. I just don t know what to do, i am stucked in this loop...Any advices?

You need inspiration. Look at photographers you like, look at there themes and see what resonates with you the most. Don’t be afraid to copy certain things about them to create your own style.

Eventually over time you’ll start getting good at it. It took me years of frustration to finally pinpoint what I can do. I finally found it. Rather than limit myself with a specific theme or way of shooting, I take every photoshoot as its own unique style, and then post it on my instagram in sets of 3. If there’s more than one set, that means the shoot was awesome.

You got this tho.
