I hope you don't leave, you've shot some of my favourite sets.

I think all i can say is i am sorry you feel this way. It does sound like site politics a little bit. I have always thought your sets are amazing.

For what it's worth, I think you capture some of the most beautiful images on this site.

My advice: If you can't think of any good reason to stick with it, then maybe it is time to let go. Focus your thoughts and attention on stuff that going to give you fulfillment and make you happy.

You are an amazing photographer, if that makes you feel any better.

You're an amazing photographer and I've always been disappointed that more of your sets don't be bought.

I agree with the above poster. If something seems like a drag or you're just not into it any more, you have to move on and concentrate on things that make you happy. That or, you may want to move into a place that might make it a wee bit more conducive to being able do the things you love doing. Either way, best of luck you.

Isn't the point of SG to celebrate alternative beauty? Not the typical "high chance of success" beauty?

You're right about staff photographer sets being bought over an equally amazing non-staff set. So, having said that, you're sets are equally as amazing and you shouldn't get down about their quality. I vote you keep doing it because I love your sets, but keep in mind that it's suppose to be fun and different.

I’m sorry to hear you’re discouraged - - but from what you’ve said - - I can see why it would be frustrating. I know I’ve said this before, but you’re truly one of my favorite photographers on this site. While there are any number of very talented photographers here, you bring a unique and (in my opinion) more “artistic” style than most, and it seems like you work with each model’s own attributes and personalities to create very different, but always high quality results. For example, Ansley’s Writing Desk , Malloreigh’s Sauced, and Nikoll’s brilliant To Please [one of the best ever] are all very different from one another, but each are fantastic in their own right. In all honesty, the photo sets aren’t a huge priority for me here, but the ones that catch my eye - - and that I take the time to look at and vote on - - are the ones where the photography stands out more than the model, and all of your sets stand out.
All that said, you have to make the decision that’s best for you, and if you do decide to pursue your talents elsewhere, please know that you will be missed. Best of luck in whatever direction you may travel.

I think you do amazing work. I loved Rydell's Reflections set, it is one of my favorites.

The competition here is certainly tough. There are so many women who want to be on SG. Since they are only posting 1 set per day now it is even tougher to get something purchased. I hope you reconsider, it would be a real loss to SG if you left.

Have you considered moving to a more "SG-rich" environment? Is that even a possibility?

You do great work ! You know your daylight, plus you work
shadows like nobody else !!!
Stay, so people can watch and learn.

I hear ya and that does such and I'm not sure what you can do about it.

What I can say is your photos are consistently my favorites. You took my single most best liking favoritest picture ever!
