- Photos NOT OK to edit
Mishele posted a thread recently titled "Inspiration." I, like many, am inspired by what she creates.
There are many artists I admire, because I wonder how they saw the art before it was created, and also what their technical process is. Sometimes I'll ask, but I'm not offended if I'm told no.
Apparently, some people are.
I posted some images on a different forum today and was asked for more or less instructions for creating the photo. I was accused of secrecy and flaunting (I didn't think the images were good enough for someone to be jealous of, but I digress...).
I think teaching a budding amateur proper exposure and composition is only right. At what point do you stop telling people how to "do art"? Some people are masters of light, others are digital manipulation wizards. Then some people are just freaks and make impossibly amazing art.
What secrets do you refuse to share? I promise that's not a trick question!!!
