I’m addicted to Zack Arias‘s new critique videos. I watched all four of them today when I should have been doing many other things. But I couldn’t stop. Not only are his comments spot-on, but I love his candour, his self-awareness, the little asides with his wife, and his dog who seems to drink a lot of water (which I probably wouldn’t have even noticed if they hadn’t commented on it every time).
He’s really got me thinking about my website, and what I’m trying to do with it. When I first set it up, I chose images that I thought other people might want to buy. But it means that the bulk of my photography, even the stuff I really like, just doesn’t fit. I don’t want to sell the portraits I make at the drop-in centre, certainly not anonymously over the web, but I would really like people to see them. Besides, I’m just not selling that much. Sometime in the future I’m going to have to overhaul the galleries. But first I want to develop my work more.
Anyways, check out the critiques…
