I’ve been trying to come up with ideas of how to get more notice, here and on IG... I was never that popular guy (except for that fluke year in 1st grade where for some reason ALL the girls wanted to be my girlfriend). But as a photographer, you like to see likes or loves and engagement on your photos. I just haven’t.
I keep telling myself it’s because I’m in between styles... I’m developing my look and when I do it’ll all change. But then I see images that I don’t think are as technically “good” and they have not only thousands of likes... they have thousands of followers.
And I try to tell myself it’s just numbers, it has nothing to do with my value as an artist or a person but at some point, those numbers translate into pay and that’s where it hurts.
I’m giving myself 2020 to make it. If I don’t by the end of next year, I’m giving in and giving up my photography. I told myself that last year, but we moved to Florida halfway through so... redo!
I’ve been booking increasing shoots, mostly non-nude, fashion stuff which is fine... it’s just not my passion. I’m happy I’m working with more people, I’m just not making any money and things are expensive!
Anyways I’m going to stop complaining. I have two new sets that were just released, I have another with @annanymph that’s in waiting and another with @chelsiegh that is going to be submitted soon!
With the move from Chicago I still have two sets with @alyxhart that I’m editing. 😬
And I’m looking for hopefuls down here every day... gotta find a new crowd. And that’s my life right now.
