I post a ton of photography online yet the photo with the highest engagement by far is a nude self portrait. Do I interpret this as people liking my body more than my art?

Is this art, in the room with us right now?

Maybe 1 in 7 people are ever going to prefer mediocre art to literally any porn

Well anon I take a shit load of pictures and the only time I even bothered trying to make money with photography was when I ran an onlyfans. It worked, quick results. Can't even imagine how long I'd have to spend building an audience to make that kind of money on not porn images
>>
>>4355398
since you already consider the things you snap with your camera "art", you are already lost and NGMI. Cameras don't make art. it has never happened and never will.

You need a panasonic lumix g9ii for your photos to be art opee

Did you stop? How long do you spend on it?

Yeah I broke up with the bitch. I'd do it again though, fun.
You mean how many hours per week did I put into it? Not many. Once I got the workflow down it was piss easy to get 3-4 big photo sets , including short vid clips and 2-3 longer videos done per month. Bearing in mind I chose to be autistic about the content and (try to) light everything properly, and shoot with a real camera. But coomers will be fine with dogshit iPhone content so you could do like 10% of the work I did. Then, you spend like 20 minutes every day doing a daily post on socials. figuring out what key words the algorithm might like that day, what time people are posting. Gay shit like that. The hardest part about all of this was putting up with a BPD bitch gf

Most people only see subject when they look at a photograph. imo, 90+% of people will go for art if it has a pretty nekkid lady in it, and 15% of the humanoid population are gaymen, asexual or woman hating dorks. It seems that effectively all humans have been bred to think women are aesthetically pleasing just like all humans have been made to have nipples even though only women have a real use for them. You can try to fight the uphill battle of convincing people that nudes of women are oppressive and icky like a redditard, but you will lose. For all the bitching that goes down in every comments thread complaining about them, they still get the upvotes.

>if it is popular on Reddit, it's real.
You are brain damaged man. Seriously. Reddit as a platform isn't even 30% of what it once was once Maxwell was arrested and bots were taken down. The place is a ghost town.

>>4355907
>when you get 47 upvotes they aren't real because it used to be more popular than it is now.

I can't compete with that logic mr big brain

Again, brain damaged. Go outside.

OP has learned that no-matter what, sex sells. And in many such cases, it sells much better than "art"
>>
>>4355398
Sex sells and the whole world is buying.

>>4355902
This anon has a point. People don't give a shit and can't recognize good composition, or technical aspects of a photography. They just care about the subject, that is ALL.
>>

Oh, and saturated colors. For some reason people, especially boomers love saturated colors. Even if they look like fucking shit. Naked lady in fucking neon green grass? That'll sell.

what was your glass setup?
seen professional anons here propose using a 16-35mm f4 in apsc mode on a FF as a relatively cheap/good setup for extreme close-ups of lingerie and whatnot

nice wide fast lenses (12 mm and 16mm ) great for video, and great for keeping the wide looking phone shot perspective that people are so used to, but just with extra polish and without the need to light the absolute fuck out of everything like shitty phones need.
Used some longer lenses too for certain things but anyway. The fast lenses were nice because I found most of the time it was just about getting the lighting at the perfect angle and it's kinda hard to do that In a small space full of white walls because it just reflects off of everything and gets really messy, c stands were the best investment I made. Keep the light low and just get it in the right place. And then shoot kinda wide to separate from background in small room. People don't wanna see the landlord special ass walls. (sure would be nice to have a bigger space or legit studio) but it was a challenge and a fun one desu
