Human photography essay

YOU’RE NOT A PHOTOGRAPHER, YOU’RE A VISUAL ARTIST!

Once you start to see yourself as a visual artist (not just a photographer), this will totally change how you approach your photographic art:

Beyond basic

To just think of yourself as a photographer is too basic. Nowadays to call yourself a ‘photographer’ is almost like calling yourself a ‘plumber’ or ‘mechanic’.

I believe that we photographers should take on a more noble goal — to become artists. Visual artists in particular– because you probably love visual imagery!
