Back into photography

Wed May 27, 2009, 1:44 AM
I feel I need often need a bit of motivation especially when it is difficult to see light at the end of the tunnel. Struggling to keep ones head above water is hard enough and does not help, especially when your main priorities are having enough money to pay your bills and buy food (living off toast at the moment. I have potentially several shoots lined up but details not finalized, I'm afraid I might slip back into the situation I was in at the end of last year if I have too long a break. Need to put some fresh ideas into action.

Financially there is a possibility I might be able to ease the situation, even upgrade my ageing camera, I have to work within its limitations. I now need to start promoting myself (would love someone to help me with my promotion allowing me to concentrate more on photography and post production), I often see other peoples work and often thing I can do just as good. Lack of some equipment has put me off to some extent but also need to create some marketing material. I always thrive on a challenge so hopefully I get some for the future.

I have recently done some shoots with new models and have a couple of fashion shoots planned for another two models. However persuading new models to take the first steps has not been easy, they get a bit nervous when you approach them for their first shoot but most thoroughly enjoy it when it takes place and can't wait to do their next shoot.

I have several things lined up to do and in progress, but with extra shoots and pictures to process it tends to slow it down somewhat, however I am not complaining as I will have a wealth of extra material for my plans. A long run of fine weather would certainly help as I need to plan some more outdoor shoots.

I am now getting approached from fellow photographers for pictures for their site projects so that has given me a bit of encouragement in that they have considered my work worthy enough to use.

On the general photography side I now look for the more unusual things to photograph and details of scenery or items we generally walk past in normal life. (I have recently added a series taken in a local fishing harbour showing detail shots of machinery and items associated with fishing. In addition some rarely seen pictures of life as it is below decks in a small fishing boat.

My art (in relation to photography) has taken a short temporary rest as I feel it more beneficial to concentrate on one at a time rather than to a lesser extent by doing both at the same time. However I am still learning techniques which I hope to practice when I start up again.
