I have never created a piece of art that I like. I never came back to anything I did months later and thought to myself "hey, this is neat".I can't use my hands to create shit. I can draw geometric shapes. I have nice handwriting. I can play open chords and bar chords on guitar. But that's where my physical skill set ends.I picked up a camera because my hands are no good. Only to realize that it's probably not my hands, it's my brain. I have little to no visual imagination. I can memorize rules that make photos look more pleasing, but I can not get beyond that in terms of intent with my photos.Over the last ten years, I resigned to the realization that I can't create anything because I have nothing to say. I have no personality. I have no opinions. I have no stories. Just things I point my camera at.
Don't be so hard on yourself, anon.
reminder, the most hated poster on /p/, the biggest autistic (genuine aspergers autistic) gearfag specs theory fag there is, has produced at least 2 good photos despite being one of the three dog fags stuck in gearfaggotry rabbit holesthese niggas are gearfagging 24/7. doghair even owns a medium format digital he bought JUST to post test shots and btfo fool framers. and they still produced some memorable photos. of their dogs.in fact, doghair produced THREE memorable photos. this, the egg in a bone dress, and his dog watching an eagle. that's 3x more than huscuck (window forest overlay husky) and corgcuck (that time he photographed a womans ass)maybe your problem is you're literally taking photos of dirt
>>4495973Aimless photography is rarely rewarding. My advice would be to work on what you recognize as your weakness. Creativity or vision. It's a muscle like any other and yours is clearly very weak, but it can become strengthened with consistent practice.You can work on your creativity in a lot of different ways. One way that has worked well for me is to stick with a single subject or object to be your main photographic subject. Pick something you like that is readily accessible and/or always on hand like an egg for example. Work on creating images with your chosen subject instead of just taking pictures of them. You have understanding of photographic principles so use those to guide you. Spend the majority of your time setting up your shot rather than pressing the shutter button.Don't give up hope bro.>>4495983Aside from you saying I've taken some nice pics I think your biggest compliment is that I've somehow outdone the likes of canon, cinefag, and the sony shills to become the most hated poster. Thanks!
>>4495973to sum up your efforts: you tried to produce work that others admire instead of what you enjoyjust take erotic photos and tasteful nudes at least your friends won't have to pretend to be interested in your portfolio
>>4495973You haven't failed enough yet then. It's like 99% failure 1% genuine success. You have to keep doing it and accept the fact that you may never succeed.
>>4495983>the most hated poster on /p/>sinarfagPhew!
>>4495973The biggest test of if you have creativity is to open notepad and write a one page story.See the thing with writing is you cannot use any excuse about your gear or needing to buy something.You also cannot make any excuse about living in a boring place, or just living in a boring era of time.With writing you can create anything, in any time period. You have zero excuses.If even with the ultimate freedom to do anything, you cannot even write a one page story or figure what to write about its time to sell your camera and all your photography gear. Creative hobbies are just not for you.
>>4495998Is your husky okay? You haven’t posted her in a while
>>4495989We like the sony shills here. They’re the only rational posters since they recommend cameras that are just good, small and affordable instead of contrarian memes. Sony is the #1 full frame brand in the world.
>>4496026>Sony shill trying to derail another thread.That's why everyone hates you guys lol
>>4495973I'm glad some people are finally understanding that cameras are tools for creating media, and not some funko pop that gives meaning to your life. The cargo cult of consumers who just buy whatever product of the month currently trending YouTubers are shilling and think it's going to give them attention and validation is very sad. Have something to say or show FIRST. You cannot find meaning or get the attention you actually want by randomly taking photos of scenes you encounter on the sidewalk outside your home.
>>4496030You make it sound so grand when really it just means.. doing better than taking photos of dirt and brick walls
>>4495983>>4496033Subject has nothing to do with it... as long as you have a good reason for shooting that subject.
>>4496033brainlet consumer cope I'm afraid
>>4496035Shalom or merci
>>4496033This is one of the more retarded takes, I think. There are plenty of photos out there, many on this board right now, that are aesthetically pleasing and completely worthless at the same time. I would go as far as to say that an aesthetically pleasing image is worthless in nine out of ten cases.
