I know I shouldn’t give into the trolling and whatnot…but are my photos really so bad that someone goes out of their way to tell me to quit? I can deal with constructive criticism, in fact I thrive on it. But this…why am I letting it get to me?
Anonymous asked: B&W photos are for people without skill. and like all of yours are that way. please stop.
Oh. I’m sorry you feel that way. I feel color, in photography at least, is distracting from the subject I tend to bring out. Without color I can focus more on the shape itself, the lines, proportions…as cliche as it sounds, sometimes the “soul” of whatever I am photographing shines through a little more.
Oddly enough I have never made it a point to shoot primarily black and white photos. But as I have progressed I’ve realized that is how I can best show others what I see…if that makes sense at all.
