The one about being schizoid, I've thought long and hard but that's just not me so I can't help you there. I never feel divided about what I shoot. The scene always tells me how to shoot it.

I did a slew of stuff that I hated: Weddings, portraits, sports, ads, and of course photojournalism. At the same time my clarinet and sax paid a bunch more bills. In fact I grew so tired of pick-up bands that one night in Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07869579042505598957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34175158.post-61543381571537565502015-09-06T11:30:35.848-04:002015-09-06T11:30:35.848-04:00Cedric…

And I actually have to discipline myself to crank the saturation sliders down. Probably, the color art on any gallery wall will draw an audience quicker than monochrome.

If you truly want to see something new every time your look at an image then I would say that this is only likely to happen with the someone else's work and it will need to be somewhat complex, an abstract perhaps or a richly detailed vista.

In that case I would recommend you shoot weddings and family portraits. But what if you want to sell your art? Or give it away? In that case don't ask the question here on your blog. Go out to galleries, talk to curators, show them your stuff, get an agent.

For one thing I don't put my photos on my walls. What is more, I only shoot for myself and I don't tend to keep my photos. Also I rarely go back to see the ones I post on the Internet so… keep that in mind with what follows.<br /><br />The firstCedric Canardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34175158.post-20878960783593233992015-08-09T00:06:05.963-04:002015-08-09T00:06:05.963-04:00Great post, Ted.

Color catches my eye, too and I often pick vivid work for the first 12 features in my groups on Redbubble.
