A helping hand.

 A helping hand, we all need one  from time to time.
This can be for a number of reasons,
helpful advice with buying a new camera, printer or lens.
Perhaps you need someone to look at your images, you have decided to enter a competition, find a person who is at least the same level as yourself and has some experience entering competitions and has done well.
Perhaps you have decided to go for Photography Letters, this is different again, you are producing a body of work, that all images hold the viewers attention, no one image is stronger than the rest of the images, so if you printed the set and they were placed on a wall no one image draws your eye to it more than the others, that is hard. The set should flow together and have a thread that leads you from image to image. Now to find someone who will look at the body of work and give constructive feedback with knowledge and experience.

AS your photography skill level grows, you will need to look for like minded photographers who understand what you are, one trying to say and second the skill involved in producing your level of work. The body of work below is complex compared with the simple set above. With multiple levels of skill, artistry and story, it is not always easy to find photographers/artists who will see the work for what it is, this is the problem we can have, finding the individual with the knowledge to fairly with knowledge and experience assess the body of work.

  1. Again I wonder if my words from my mind are coming out of your mouth. The artistry of your composites is second to none. the mind is a complex thing and it is great to see that you allow those thoughts to appear in your images. The complexity, intrigue and detail or your images is very intricate and allows your eye to discover the true intent of the heart. The more I look at these images the more I find. Very creative sets that tell a dream-state reality. well done Scott. Great Blog
