Thinkings

I feel like there is a certain style of photograph that is considered to be a professional one. By this, I don't mean that if it's taken well and by a person who knows what he/she is doing it is considered professional. There seems to be a certain air to most of the work that is being produced now (including my own).

I've been able to come up with two different styles of photos that I see often. This isn't saying they are bad or not creative, I'm just talking style, current; I enjoy many of them.

First off we have the whimsical fairy photographs. They are soft and often include girls portrayed in beautiful garments in a forest, although not limited to the forest. This style (to me) seems to emphasize the beauty or the magical aspect of beauty itself.

The second type is the clinical correct style. Here we have photographs that are usually taken without people in them. Even if they do have people in them they seem not to emphasize the person, they seem to focus on the medium itself. Large format is prominent and many photographs emphasize the background of the subject by using a very small aperture.

Anyway, I don't really know what I'm talking about but I pretty much need a social life. Even my grandma is worried about my social life. Sad.
