So, I know that I have been away for a bit of time...forgive me I have been VERY fucking busy. I found out today, just about a half hour ago, that I will be able to pass this quarter with at least a 3.0 GPA, which will allow me to stay at SCAD for another two quarters, if not longer (if I don't fuck up my GPA again). Issue is for me, according to my teacher, that I am just not taking "amazing photos". I am taking okay photos, but not amazing. I need to step up my skills and get to amazing somehow. I need to open my eyes even that much further and look beyond what I am seeing right now. However, this is the same teacher that was very racists about the Latin community project and got me to switch my MFA thesis project to a new one only two weeks ago (and I mean starting from freaking SCRATCH...new idea/concept, everything...) and she said that the photos are not all up to par yet. Well no kidding, since all in all I have only had a week and a half to shoot, at the most. But, because of this and the fact that my photography has improved this quarter, even though it is not where she wants it to be yet, she is going to give me a sympathy B instead of a C, which will ensure that I can stay in Graduate school for a while longer. I just need to keep photographing. I just don't know what to do to awaken myself even that much more...I need to though. I know about lighting, I know about body positions, I know about composition, etc. It just seems that what I have right now to offer is just not there. Let me show you what the actual current body of work looks like.
And while I do love all of the likes/hearts that are given to the images that I post...I really would like some feedback as to what needs to be improved and maybe how to improve like one of my photography idols Mike Brodie. His work is just fucking amazing. Or even a friend of mine in Corinna Kern. If I can just expand my eye to start getting more beautiful/interesting shots, then I should be golden.
I am just lost on what to do. I have been given a gift here and I don't want to fuck it up. Someone please help?!?!?!
