In my own philosophy of photography, I've got a generalized (and admittedly overly simplified model) of: For me / For others
Memories / Emotions
There are photographs that I take that are "memories for me" - things that I want to remember but are otherwise rather meh for other people. There's also photojournalism which is much more on the memories for others quadrant.Likewise, the are photographs that are emotions for me... and the sellable ones are emotions for others. All of those are perfectly acceptable photographs. It's a matter of what expectations there are for me when showing them to others. And likewise, there are photographs that other people other people take for memories for themselves that I hope don't disappoint them when they show them to me and its a "its ok" as the response when it was a memory that they want to maintain. Someone else's wedding photograph isn't something that is particularly interesting to me as a photograph. |
