thanks, good to know that even the GX7 would be a big bump in sensor quality. i'll probably just keep searching for a good deal on a GX7 or newer. (I think I'm going to be taking my time now, I'm in no rush after getting a surprise bill from the auto mechanic this morning.)

polyester concept posted:not usually a fan of staged/posed stuff except from a strictly utilitarian perspective (family portraits for example, which you can still have a lot of fun with if your family is patient) I was thinking about this recently .. this is an entire genre of photography, and I suppose it’s fine to decide you don’t like it, but it’s existence is completely legit an example that is open to a lot of flexibility is band photos another one is a friend asking for their photo taken if you were a photographer with strong beliefs, perhaps you’d just turn down these jobs, say that they’re beneath you, and then just carry on with your life but let’s imagine you say yes. you’ll have to get over the sense that they’ll be staged/posed.. so once you’ve come to some place where you’ve fought the internal beast, you can then start asking, given that we cant avoid it being posed/staged, where do we go from there ? interesting thought?

Paid photography and photography as art aren't mutually exclusive, but it's what the photographer wants to pursue. Paid staged gigs for me don't have the appeal, it's just advertising. Advertising the band or the model or the product isn't interesting unless I'm invested in the subject itself, whereas the expression of will and desire of a photographer showing their vision of the world and communicating a built message is far more engaging to me. I'm not here to look at a photo and go "That's pretty" or "that's well executed". I want to be challenged and explore through someone else's eyes

Instagram and social media in general rewards that style, it's easy to engage with aesthetic. When you're in a space where discussion and consideration is more highly valued is it any suprise that it isn't as well received? It seems like your goals are all surface level. "I edit like this because people have said they like photos that look like this" is a fine tactic to increase broad engagement but it ends up making a body of work that looks like you're trying to sell Lightroom presets.

my point was more, given that you or someone feels that way about photography, if you were handed this “job”, how would you go about executing it anyway. as you say they’re not mutually exclusive

when I first started shooting other people about a year ago, I was just so excited to shoot others but once the initial excitement wore off I realised how ordinary and cliche some of the first stuff I first shot was even tho I had liked it when I shot it and it’s continued to evolve alongside the stuff I like. I generally find most staged stuff cliche and uninteresting, simply taking a photo of someone with decent gear isn’t enough. I suspect what I am aiming for is still not up to the standards of the photosmiths around these parts, but I am happy with my evolution, and continued raising of my standards. very recently I’ve had more interest than ever, which gives me more opportunity to choose and be fussy about who I work with and what we do. and believe it or not I do take onboard all the things I read on here. don’t always know what to do with it but knowing there’s more to be striven for gives me a vague notion that one day I might gain the approval of people on the internet

it's fine to like cliches. that's why they're cliches! people like them just don't fall into the trap of shooting the same thing in the same way, every time. it smothers creativity imo and makes you doubt your capabilities. it's the same thing with equipment i think, like, "oh, this body isn't capable of that" — no. perhaps in some scenarios that is objectively true but i promise you you can get something usable out of pretty much anything if you put the effort in, but admittedly that is not as easy

I think it was someone on youtube who said “someone has successfully taken the picture you want using vastly inferior gear” and that’s stuck with me. that said I think this is the year of the ilc for me. love my x100 but want some reach

this is a good easy read if you want to think about why you take photographs and maybe perspective on why others do

is that vignetting post-processing or is that a natural part of the photo? also is it still called vignetting when it's light instead of dark?
