Since diving into photography I’ve spent a lot of time educating myself, researching, observing, taking note of opinions, and what people think is good and bad.
I’ve started a vintage vibe and I have spent a decent deal of time, though not a huge amount, looking through film photos, especially photos that were/are considered fabulous, classic, great, good, etc. a lot of those photos have flaws in them. Motion blur, focus issues, color issues, grain, etc.
By todays digital standards some folks might never post/publish those photos if they took them today. One thing I noticed is all those photos have character. There’s something unique about them and I have to wonder if that is being lost in digital photography. I see lots of photographers talking about consistency, always make your photos look consistent, what’s your style, show the client you ‘look’. I sort of think its hogwash. Be consistently good, sometimes that is being unique. Sometimes the best shot isn’t the best shot. I don’t know, I just wonder if anyone else had the same vibe going.
