What I Learned: There will always be people who don't like your work or who don't see your photographs the way that you do. And that is ok! I am beginning to discover through this process that photography is truly an art form. Especially when it comes to the editing process. I know there are people out there who don't believe that but art is expression of vision and that is what I try to do with my photography. Express what I see. I have also learned this month that editing is a valuable part of the process. I love getting it right straight out of camera and I always will, but I am starting to value editing more and more and not see it as a scary thing that might "ruin" what I trying to express. Instead it can and does often enhance and better portray my vision.
What a gorgeous set of pictures!
ReplyDeleteUma história de um mês de vida em um quadro. Lindo!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about photography being an art form. I love editing, sometimes heavily, and I used to worry what people would think. Then I decided: I do this for myself, and I enjoy the results, as well as the process. It's always nice to have someone else like what I produce, but that isn't why I do it. ;-) Your floral images are heavenly!
