or 801, as always there had to be 1.
Right so I'm going to talk about sets and stuff. Thanks to everyone that showed support for my first set, it was nice to have a positive response. I'm glad I also got some proper feedback on it though. I saw this set as an introductory set and I know it was simple, I kind of did that on purpose. I know it could be better in many ways, some people have said they'd like to see more high res pictures and I have said about this, that my future sets will be on an SLR etc. Some people said it wasn't interesting enough, those people might like to know I submitted a set yesterday, now i'm just waiting to see if it will make MR. It tells more of a story and it will be more interesting. I want my third set to be even better though, I just want to keep improving. After all I can only get better. Someone said it seemed I didn't have a connection with the photographer, including in my mini sets. This is what I mainly wanted to talk about, I don't have a professional photographer, the people who shot my set and mini set are my friend and my ex. They both had to get used to the camera and didn't have alot of experience. I think considering they did quite well. Especially as my ex is disabled and he can't really get all the angles like another photographer could. Hopefully people won't judge me for the fact I said my ex, we are still friends and obviously he knows me well. I guess i'm not used to putting myself out there to be judged and being nude in front of a friend and posing wasn't something i'm used to doing. I am comfortable with my ex as he has seen it all before, but I guess sometimes i'm thinking "should my ex being taking these pictures?" So maybe that has something to do with the lack of connection being felt in the pictures. I don't think I will ask my ex to take pictures of me anymore as I am seeing someone and I don't know how I feel morally about it. Even though the guy I'm seeing understands, which I don't expect him to. I might ask him to take a mini set with me and see how that goes, as I do feel like we have a connection. Although then he'll have to also get used to taking good enough pictures, so it may still not be perfect. I do have a better understanding of what I want my next set to look like, so I was thinking maybe I'll just do a self portraiture set and take it myself. Then though, I wonder about how much I can actually do taking it on my own. I just don't want my future sets to not be to their full potential because I'm not confident with the photographer, obviously I want to be able to trust the photographer. I know I can improve on everything else but the connection and still having great pictures is something I'm going to have to experiment with. I have lots of ideas for my next set so hopefully that goes well. :)
