I think in this world of freedom and so many thing we have to decide more and more about what we want to achieve and the internet provide us with so many option not helping us to grow but only to keep us stuck.
I don’t neceseraly put my ego allover the place to know what I want to aim bcs its already hard to begin, the competitor and etc.
Cut to the chase.
The thing is this job photography or videography is a fucking cheap job nowadays, people shouting how they grow their own easily , how fast they can get the information to make their own , I quote art..
The barometer is instagram and youtube. More or less likes and subscriber or followers. Here is the thing nothing wrong with that, most of the times the flow is hard to resist, but again.. the flow.. means somebody made us, put a concept for what we want means we are the product.
And yaty yaty yata
I think you get the idea.
I. STREET PHOTOGRAPHER
I personally still take my own job as a commercial photographer, I like the job but really not the reason why I chose this job from the first place. For me photo is all about how you take the moment to capture to tell the situation to speak within a single picture, its never about edit, photoshop, color wheel or any thing like that.
To be meaningfull to expand the boundaries to be something that going to be remember for eternity… I do edit my photo but I don’t think its neceserally become the main job of this one, I don’t blame you for those who do edits the photo maybe you know wedding photographer or anything.
And these days I can only feel that way when im away from phone see the real situation when im in it.. it set me free , its like breathing, I don’t care about likes and followers I just want to be the slow blues song living on the edge.
To feel so young in this art section called photography like when I was in highschool try to learn a new thing find a cute girl and gather my guts to ask her name, find my “soulmate” and end up broken heart.
And now I feel the meaning are gone , people so fucking afraid to be experimental to grow strong.. everything feels like manufacture, massive and stiff and yaa I think that’s the reason why I this is why street photography live in me.
II. Depending on the object and moment
Offcourse the bridge after the the crossover are branches, its inevitable . But no one can really blame the the result of this sector, everyone has their own taste.
Here is the catch us for a tip, u can edit and you can google how to edit every single time but to find something that can bring light to be legacy to be something it cant be everyday. You have to find it you have to move. And it really boost my day to have that kind of thought every morning.
You can find your self in a day figuring out what to do. But in my experiences it only end up in my mind it never come to realitation. I think it feels good to have a good picture but somehow it feels more good to missing the picture on the journey, you know the feeling like ughhh why..
It will help you to upgrade your skill your inner interest. I swear to God, so many people like “the studio photographer are the most fancy and expensive”.
No I guess if I can make a list the most expensive in wild photographer, and the second one is a journal photographer, both have tendency to lose their gear wayyyyy higher than the rest.
Either broke down by tiger or broke down by police.
The precise measurement on those two are the object, it always been the object with so many sacrifices to offer.
III. BOLDING UP THE PURPOSE.
Most of the time my favourite photographers such..
I like the angle they put and somehow the way they do the resurrection throughout the picture. I know this photographer have the most tastefull performance in the world , in my mind.
Youtube and Instagrm or this internet offers people with same thought most of the time.. money and fame.. im not a hypocrite in the matter of financial income but it never cross in my mind Im going to be a milionare in this industry , I mean I don’t want to be in debt or living poor but I guess if you really put you thought in this photography world I don’t think this will promise you luxurious life.
By that doesn’t mean this job not promising, but as far as my knowledge , you going to burn out if you not really deep into the character. I always pray that God guide me and protect me fullfill my need so I can be able to be live with my camera and so do you I wish.
I always want to be able to dance with my camera, talking through the picture even though its only fuckin lumix , I want to become something that can drop a legacy to this world with my last name behind it, I always do I swear to God, I wish I can be proud of something in this one life and I guess I can only do that when Im holding my camera by my side.
Conclusion..
know your purpose , know what you really looking for.. is it for just the moment or is it about your passion. If you know what to do it really nice and way easier to figure it out whats next.
know the draw back, put the picture in your mind what do you think going to happen if you do this, like maybe.. automatic tanned, look dirty, and people look down on you or anything, if you ok with that.. carry on !!!
something will happen in your life but not in short run.. people with “capital” allover the place especially with the internet tide, make up your mind never losen you quality
YOU GOING TO WIN !!!
FIGHT ON !!!
