Photographers that make you want to quit
https://www.modelmayhem.com/member.php?id=28120 I know that that will never be my style. But some nights I wonder if my style is enough. Share the port of a photographer on MM who makes you want to give up photography Oct 28 06 02:18 am Link Some people might feel like quitting just because somebody else's work outshined them completely. Please elaborate  Oct 28 06 02:29 am Link He has an interesting port with his own style, but nothing that would make me quit shooting over. My style is different from him. I learn from other's work; I don't let it discourage me to hang up the light meter. /tim  I love Vegas' work, it makes me want to be better. Oct 28 06 02:36 am Link PLEASE don't turn this into a critique thread, just post a link to a photographer you admire, or say something nice about a photographer someone already mentioned.

Oct 28 06 02:41 am Link LMAO - there's fotorat - now there is someone who I admire big time.. I'd give my left nut to be able to spend a day with him on a shoot! Oct 28 06 02:41 am Link There are many photographers out there that I think are great, but none that I would get so discouraged to want to hang it up over. When I see work I admire, I just thrive to do better. As in the attitude of 'If they can do it, so can I...'. Oct 28 06 03:41 am Link No one makes me want to give up photography.  .Oct 28 06 03:44 am Link Star wrote: uh, no,..., nobody's work has ever made me wanna quit. i mean, biggies like DeMarchelier, D'Orazio, Glaviano, those guys didn't start out at that level ... Oct 28 06 03:45 am Link If u truely enjoy what ur doin, who cares what others work looks like? Maybe this is not a hobby for u Oct 28 06 03:53 am Link Photography is something I do purely for fun. As a result, I never feel any fatalistic intimidation by those who are more skillful than myself; nor do I feel any arrogant superiority over those who are less skillful than myself. For me the philosophy always remains the same - it has to be fun and enjoyable, otherwise there is no point in doing it. That sense of self-gratification has nothing whatsoever to do with the quality of photographs created by other photographers. It doesn't even have anything to do with the quality of my own images. It simply has to do with the enjoyment of the process itself. Oct 28 06 04:16 am Link E|||B wrote: I totally agree! I do love appreciation and acceptance, but I in turn flow that appreciation to the photographers I myself admire. No photographer ever made me want to quit, even the giants:))) I just think - wow, this is cool! And it gets me going:) I get inspiration from great artists, not introversion and demise:) Oct 28 06 04:33 am Link There are many people with work I admire (Sean Armeta, Bruce Talbot, Fotorat, Eric S., etc.) but none make me want to quit... they drive me to want to become better. I guess we all have different ways of viewing the world. Oct 28 06 04:51 am Link why would you feel anything else than inspired?????? Oct 28 06 04:55 am Link Star wrote: Quit...you've gotta be kidding Star.You have some beautiful work and you own great style. I can guarantee there's other artists looking at your work right now for inspiration. I for one have done so, as I sure others. Now get you butt up and find your next muse. We need ya... Oct 28 06 05:02 am Link Star wrote: I just don't understand??? What is the beef??? I find interesting things that I might do , in every photo.. Or is this a ploy, advertising, or begging for compliments... Oct 28 06 05:24 am Link I think everyone has thought of quitting, but that's not all bad - at least the thought of it. It's healthy to see work you admire and make you strive to be better. I know I have a lot to learn and a long way to go before I will feel that my work is striking. I look, learn, and hopefully improve. Oct 28 06 05:44 am Link Give up my camera for someone elses work, NO WAY ive encouraged others to not put their camera down when things werent going their way. i do it for the love and the creativity, interesting way to meet people also, i could care less what their work looks like. Oct 28 06 05:49 am Link It's called INSPIRATION. Let that be your guide...they set the bar HIGH...now strive to attain it.

One of many photographers are: https://modelmayhem.com/member.php?id=113064 Oct 28 06 05:54 am Link Why would you even think of quitting? That is just a waste. I personally feel that I can always improve. There are ups and downs in everything we do. Much like speeding down a freeway, someone is always driving faster than you. But do you have the same destination? Be true to yourself. Learn from others bur find your own style. Others may inspire you or uninspire you, but only you can improve yourself.
