I know this might sound a little obvious, and you're welcome to make fun of me, but something has occurred to me over the past year that never really struck me before. Some of the people I've learned great things from, whether it be lighting, posing, post-work, how to make your subject comfortable, or just some pearl of wisdom from the trade... some of those people weren't actually that good, themselves.I've been looking back over some of the photographers I greatly admired when I first fell in love with this trade. People I used to idolize, styles I longed to emulate. Not that I'm a pro at this point in the game, but I'm learning how to judge work with a more critical eye and I'm realizing... wow, some of this work isn't that great.
Not that it's bad, per se, it's just not phenomenal.
Huh.
Time to choose new role models?

Good to hear that you are getting confident in your work. I will need your services once I am all well famous and what not. Cross your fingers!
