Dear friend,<\/p>\n

Basic idea:<\/p>\n

\n There is no such thing as good or bad photography; all photography is good photography.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

What is really our goal as photographers?<\/h2>\n

My idea:<\/p>\n

\n The point isn’t to make ‘good’ or ‘bad’ photos — the point is for us to make AUTHENTIC PHOTOS!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What is an authentic photo?<\/h2>\n

\"7F547959-FC28-46B7-A33E-7A6878BE3339\"<\/p>\n

To me, an authentic photo is a photograph that you shoot purely for yourself. A photograph that speaks your soul. A photograph that you shoot, because it brings you joy! A photograph shot for selfish<\/a> reasons.<\/p>\n

What is an ‘in-authentic’ photo? A photo you shoot because you hope to get a lot of likes on Instagram or social media. #deletethegram<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Why does it matter if the photo is good or not?<\/h2>\n

\"only<\/p>\n

For myself, I don’t even think it really matters whether people shoot good or photos or not.<\/p>\n

Of course, there are certain photos which aren’t my ‘cup of tea’. There are certain photos that exist on the internet that I don’t like. But that is fine– the internet ocean is big enough for all photos to exist.<\/p>\n

This is the truth:<\/p>\n

\n Just because I don’t like the photograph doesn’t mean it is a bad photograph.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Also,<\/p>\n

\n There are photos that I dislike, which others like!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Furthermore,<\/p>\n

\n Best for us to focus on making photos we consider good– instead of worrying whether others think the photo is good or not!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Shoot photos which put a smile on your face!<\/h2>\n

\"Korean<\/p>\n

Shoot photos which bring joy and delight to your life. Shoot photos in which when you look at your own photos, they bring a smile to your face!<\/p>\n

\"Cindy<\/p>\n

Photograph your loved ones. Photograph things that you find interesting. Shoot for yourself.<\/p>\n
