At my art show last month, I received feedback from someone about a specific style that I use in a lot of my photos. He said that I use a lot of diagonals.
Up to this conversation, I never clearly defined the photography style that I use when I shoot. But, since I received that feedback, I’ve thought to myself “Of course I use diagonals! Doesn’t everyone else?” I mean, … I guess it’s an artistic eye that I have for a good framed image when I decide to click click click. I look for angles, shapes, patterns, or at least something in the frame that makes the photo *pop*.
As I explained in my About Me section, I’ve never taken a photography class. I have plans to take one very soon. So, when it comes to artistically describing my work to another artist or to “the viewer” I have a hard time articulating my art process. I think I’ve always assumed that one part of having a good photographer’s eye is to see shapes, diagonals, textures, patterns, or multiple dimensions.
Ohhhh, I have so much to learn. By the way, I need a new d-SLR Canon camera. So if you’re reading this, feeling really generous with those deep pockets of yours, feel free to offer up that camera. Thanks in advance.
