Photograph for yourself

Photograph for yourself. I often have to remind myself of this simple statement. What do I mean when I say photograph for yourself? I mean do the photography you want and get the results you want. While it is important to push yourself to explore different genres and subjects it is more important, in my mind, to get the photographs you want rather than attempt to get what others want. If it isn’t your style, maybe you’re not the photographer for them. I’ve done this with weddings. I’ve been asked to photograph weddings and I have done a few. It just isn’t for me. I don’t enjoy them even though I love working with photographing people.

What I have found if I go with what I enjoy photographing and apply my style others enjoy my work. Please yourself first with your artwork.
