Great points here, man! Completely agree with your opinion on this, photography, as basically any form of art, should be based on personality and the ability to "do your own, unique thing"! PS: saluti dall'Italia, fratello! :D
No problem dude! I got a bit into the filmmaking world through my youtube channel's content, but want to dive more into photography and your videos are helping a bunch! :) Io sono di Verona :) che bella la Finlandia!
bellissima anche Verona! Ne ho sentito un gran bene e vorrei tanto andarci :) Qui in Finlandia abbiamo un'estate che vale la pena vedere ;) In bocca al lupo per i tuoi film! Ora do uno sguardo :)
The Pulitzer price is mainly for photojournalistic works so of course the pictures are diamonds in the rough. This is the wrong basis of comparison with the meticulously orchestrated and immaculately photo-shopped portfolio pictures. Moreover, the subject matter (usually real life horror/drama) weights heavily on the Pulitzer award. I agree though that a picture to merit choice should make at least its creator 'feel' something in the first place. 'Hooking though' is another thing (what prostitutes often do for example :-) It is unfortunate that many 'photographers' come with all sort of garish colours and post-processing absurdities in an attempt to hook the audience. Which day by day is becoming more indifferent. History will not judge this trend kindly (like HDR) which was all the rage not long ago. So it depends on what is your market and how much of your art you are willing to trade for earning a living.
Hi Dimitris, thank you so much for stopping by and drop such a well thought comment. I agree on the aspects you covered. If we are talking about retouching and fashion/beauty we will go into a neverending photoshop workflow that usually has very little to do with the initial subject. However, I could see a slight trend nowadays (also in fashion) where imperfect photos/models/situations are used to break the perfectionist atmosphere that is usually the stereotype of this branch of photography. And I have to say I quite like it. My video here is mainly directed to starting photogs, just like me, that get cought too much on the wrong details forgetting the big picture. Hence looking at Pulitzer prices is a good practice to refresh and reset our focus on what really matters. This become very important in our personal projects which is where we should put 200% of our creativity. :) PS agree on the trends (HDR portraits, Fairy lights/bokeh night like Brandon Woelfl)
What do you choose between EMOTIONS and TECHNICALITY?
Personally the first wins, always!
