Reply To: Newbie here. So am I a fauxtog?

Eh, I don’t really know what to think of your work. I can see some elements of design working well but some appear to just be snapshots. I find the strongest set visually is the Misc. Flowers set because of how you abstract the form of the flower and under the lighting that some of them are shot under. The other collections such as people and dogs seem very typical of someone that would post work on here, snapshots basically, but the flower collection is different because I can tell by looking at them that you’re thinking about more than just a ‘pretty flower’.

you should definitely think about having some of your other prints for sale, because the one you have is weak in comparison to some I saw. Seems the focus is off and the framing feels clunky, it doesn’t hold as well.

Photographing foliage is definitely different that photographing people, your portraits don’t seem nearly as intimately involved as some of your work. So, I would think about some of the lighting, use of color, and how you fill the frame with your foliage and consider ways to incorporate these elements into approaching your other work.

I’m glad I stumbled onto the Misc Flowers section, because some of those went beyond my expectations much more than the other work on your website and some of them work pretty well, and to have something on this website do that, is refreshing.
