Overall my entire career as a photographer has been
extremely positive and encouraging….until I got to New York City. Just last
week I got the chance to take a trip to the big apple for a media conference
with other colleges all around the country. Needless to say I was extremely
excited to have such an amazing opportunity opened up to me but all of this
excitement was crushed on the first day. I was invited to attend a critique of
my best photos by a big wig new Yorker. I didn’t really know what to expect but
what I got was definitely not even close. After an hour of waiting outside this
guys office he finally calls me in and we begin to look at my pictures. He
asked me what I am the most interested in and I replied with sports mostly. As
a result he only focused on my few sports photos and he pretty much told me
that I was getting what every other photographer could get and he was not
impressed at all. Long story short, he wants me to follow around one specific
sport and shoot everything that the other photographers aren’t getting
(anything besides the games and action shots) and write a book on it with
pictures. I’m not sure what ill do with this advice but stay tuned for updates!
