- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
I would consider myself a very artistic person, but not at all creative. That fact is now proving to seriously affect the quality of my pictures and my potential to grow as a photographer. I have done some second shooting at weddings, and my style is extremely photojournalistic. I pretty much shoot whatever I observe...that's what I feel comfortable doing, and those are the pictures I am drawn to and enjoy the most. But that is not what's best for me or my work, I realize that now.
If you put two people in front of my camera, or a piece of food (as I'm trying to expand into food photography), no creative ideas will come to mind. Sure I can tell the people to hug or kiss or hold hands... but that's about all I can picture. And with food, I admire these great food photographers putting together the most creative and pretty scenes with this plain old piece of food! And yet me... I'll have the idea to maybe stack a few cookies into a pile together lol, and that's it. No other idea or creative thought/image comes to mind.
I don't know, I just don't feel like I have a very creative mind
What can I do about this?
