I am 100% self taught, ive been into photography for going on 7 years. Im wondering what others think of my work.. Opinions? SafiKM.com Sep 18 14 11:13 am Link Looking at the images, I think it is a bit portrait like. Not very commercial. Your lighting outdoors, is far better than your in-the-studio lighting.

Sep 18 14 12:35 pm Link If you have been into photography for 7 years you sure don't have much! Get to shooting and have fun! Sep 18 14 03:38 pm Link Interesting. Interesting people. Interesting composition. Interesting lighting. Artistic work. There are other things in life than commercial. Sep 18 14 05:40 pm Link Hunter GWPB wrote: Yes, but that wasn't really there, either.

I suffer from this too for taking 4 years off shooting after dropping out of photo school and not getting out and shooting enough the past few weeks since starting again.

The artist and buyer defines it. Do the work that pleases you, is the advice I am given by other artists. Not that I don't want to be better, as well. I understand, from your profile, that you want to move into more editorial and fashion work. I am looking at your work where they are now and I am not trying to see into your future. I hope your sense of art influences the work you do in the future and that you find great success. I was involved in an art show, where the judge dismissed someone's work because it depicted animals and scenes from Africa. The judge assumed the work was copied from a published photograph, without even considering any other possibility. The artist was from South Africa. She feels she was effectively banned from doing art shows related to her home land. However, her work sold very nicely without the acknowledgement of the judge. Don't be discouraged by any comments made in the forum. Some people will help you learn. Some won't. And don't expect your ego to be stroked here.
