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?

Published and award winning photographer here. When I was a photography student I almost gave up twice and wanted to drop out of art uni. My friends told me I can one day do it because how passionate I was about photography.

My teacher from that time today says I’m one of her favorite photography students in 40 years of teaching

And I can tell you You’ll get there You just have to practice And try to create better and better each time.

The longer it takes the better the outcome Also Don’t compare yourself to others Everyone has a different path in life and in artistic life.
