Art or........

Bitter how do you like the "kicked in the ass club"? :lmao:

I dunno, mishele.

I see my own work differently than everyone else. There's also that high expectation of perfection I deal with daily from my trade in jewelery. That effects my perception of my own work.

I feel my work is all over the place right now.

I've always loved your images mishele, good luck getting yourself out there!

Thanks guys.............I've really started to love this type of photography. So when I look at it, it's sometimes hard to be objective.

I have one more Q........how are the colors? Should I keep the colors more dreamy like in 1&2 or should I try to stay to the more bold or natural colors?

i like the bolder colors personally....but the dreamy ones r very cool too. hard to decision, but I would go with bold just because the color really stand out.

Bitter do you have a site for your jewelry? I would love to see it!!
And thanks!! It's always nice to hear that someone gets what you are doing!!

I think #1 works the best. It still instantly jumps out as a flower, but has that sort of ethereal look to it.

Some of the best pictures of flowers I've seen in awhile.

I think as a set they're incredible, but on their own #3 is less Interesting than the others.
As for the colors, I like them dreamy, but it's always good to experiment - and post!

Good luck with the gallery - I hope you'll succeed!! :flower:

I believe we all see our own work differently than everyone else. When I had my first shows, since nobody knew who I was, I listened in on people talking about my work. It was quite fun to hear what people found in my work that I had never seen myself or never even thought about.

And that, in a way, is part of the reason I push people to show. You'd get reactions there that would be very different from on a photo forum. Yes, there may be photogs there too but you would have people who just don't care about the technical side of it.

It is quite normal for your work to be all over the place. A young photog (young to photography, not in age) is looking not only for a style but also for their zone of interest.

But don't obsess too much on the technical side. In the art world, technique is overvalued imho. The feelings I get from a work is much more important to me than the technical perfection. Now, I always draw some fire when I say that, but I don't like Ansel Adams much. He may be incredible technically but his photos kind of bore me.

That said, I understand how your jewelry work affects your photography. We are all affected in our art work by whatever else is going on in our lives.

Last but not least, no one needs to start with a solo show. There are usually more group shows than solo shows around and they are a great way to get started since one deals with fewer pieces. And it's a nice way to meet other artists too.

Cheers.

I like both. Nothing says everything has to be in the same exact style.

I get a different feeling from each style but there is nothing wrong with that.

I believe you should tailor the coloring to the type of colors, if they're already bold then keep bold, if pale keep pale. Just my opinion, very nice shots.

Cloud I'll be in touch and thanks for the help!!

One for the road......

I thought I'd be saying "blurry flowers" but these are gorgeous ... art

These are very nicely done, but no photograph can be a 'work of art' in the technical sense of 'art'. It is thus fundamentally different from painting and sculpture.

Can you enlighten us with your supreme knowledge? What is the technical sense of art?
