Day 115: Measure Up

by Ken Worley

Day 115: Measure Up

How do you measure up to other photographers? When looking at other photographers’ images, we tend to have a little voice inside deciding if we could create that image or not.

I try not to worry about how I measure up to other photographers because we all have a different view on life. That is one of the things that make photography so great. You can line up ten photographers and have them look at the same scene and you will get ten different photographs. God made each of us unique, so we all have our own style. View other photographers work, but remember to embrace your own style.

Photography Tip: Learn to take criticism, the world is full of critics and everyone has different taste.

    What you say about ten photographers all taking different pics of the same subject is very true. Its is just unfortunate when people make criticism that they don't always do it on each individual pics credit, but bu comparing it to what they would have done with it.

    "Measuring up" to other photographers was something I was really worried about for the first year that I was seriously taking pictures. I was obsessed with the idea that some photographers were better than others, which I now find kind of ridiculous. Yes, some are subjectively better, but it's all a matter of taste. Also, the kind of photographs a person produces are so dependent upon their geographic location, free time, and time spent shooting that it's ridiculous to even begin to compare one photographer to another… we're all different, not necessarily better or worse.
