Anyone can make a good image once in a while,

The good image compliment was because I really liked three of your images from your scenic album on your website, the first two and the 3rd to last one.

The first one reminds me of Pamela Pecchio’s work, she worked with interior spaces beautifully, and checking out her work would really be good for you

I like the last one described because it reminds me of one of my favorite contemporary photographers, Phillip Lorca DiCorcia. And the tonality is pretty nice on the monochrome one, and the colors are nice but it just doesn’t breathe. An enduring photograph is alive, my friend. Cartier-Bresson’s A Decisive Moment is alive. Helen Levitt’s work is alive. Your work seems uninspired and just a photograph.

 

Henri Cartier-Bresson shot beautiful portraits of people with a single bit of equipment; his camera with a 50mm lens. Anyone who thinks equipment makes the photographer is quite ill informed, hence why I don’t think you really understand photography
