Which photos are really important to you \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and why do you decide to shoot them?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Never take photos according to what others think might be interesting. Only follow your own gut. Photograph what is personally-meaningful to you, and photos that are important to you.<\/p>\n

\"eric<\/p>\n

What I see is a lack of photographers with soul in their photos. They don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t put themselves into their photos.<\/p>\n

I also don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t believe there are \u00e2\u20ac\u0153good\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153bad\u00e2\u20ac\u009d photos \u00e2\u20ac\u201d I only believe there are personal and impersonal photos.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Personal photos are important to you. You are the only one who can take these photos. And that is what makes it unique, genuine, and meaningful.<\/p>\n

\"Kyoto,

Whenever you photograph whatever is important to you, that same emotion is transferred to the viewer.<\/p>\n

So let us all try to stop photographing for the sake of others; and truly photograph for ourselves.<\/p>\n

Keep it personal,
\nEric<\/p>\n
