How has your photography work changed?


7 years 8 months ago #492974 by CaptNemo
Those of you who have shot for a number of years will most likely have more to reflect from this question.  I'm guessing most of you take time and think about how you can stay with the times, make more of that green stuff and just think about the direction you are going.  I had one of those moments this morning and really noticed just how much style has changed.

To make this more fun, I'm going to post this question here and see what you all have to contribute to this thought.

Well, I don't "work".  Photography is just my hobby.  But I would say that the Internet has had a big impact, across the board.

I've had less time for my personal work!  Being so busy with my gigs.

I don't do it for "green" these days, but I sleep nights now. I used to be pretty busy on weekends shooting, and spending weeknights processing and printing. I don't miss film one little bit!
Why so serious?

For me the biggest change had to be in the tools that I was using just to get the job done. The transition from film to digital was a tough one for me personally. Now that I've done it, I could never turn back

Honestly when I first started, I struggled with lighting.  These days I'm a lot more aware of existing light.  I also think I've slowed down a lot.  Meaning when I take a shot, I really think about what I'm doing first.

More so than anything, my gear and my eyes have changed the most over time - for better or for worse. I almost don't recognize the work that I made when I first started out in photography. However, I think part of being a good photographer is managing to keep on going ahead despite all of the changes that happen.

I'm amazed at how much simpler my photos have become. I used to Photoshop them to death and use a ton of layers to add contrast, saturation, etc., but now its much cleaner. I think that's a result of spending more time examining my inspirations (i.e. photos online).

Amen to that. Looking at my first portraits, it's mortifying. The lighting is so terrible!

Since the iPhone came about, I think that I've grown quite a bit as a photographer. I know a lot of professionals argue over how valid iPhonography can be, but I think that it just gives provides more opportunities to shoot than ever before. Plus, when I come across something unexpected and magnificent, I never find myself cursing and wishing I had a camera because there's always one ready and waiting right in my pocket.

Being able to control my lighting/color and put more thought into how I use the them has been the most noticeable change, at least to me. Also learning that less is more when it comes to editing/retouching.
