I took those shots two years ago as part of my portfolio that I submitted for evaluation to stocksy. If you don't know what that is, let me copy a part from their site:
Why should I join Stocksy?
Stocksy is an artist-owned cooperative that was founded upon the principles of equality, respect and the fair distribution of profits. We’re a community of artists + creatives that believe imagery should be always be fueled by artistic fervor and integrity — and stock is no exception. We believe in collaboration, transparency, and leadership in ethical business practices so being a Stocksy contributor and co-op member means you have the opportunity to drive business direction through elections, resolutions, voting and annual general meetings. Your voice matters.
Doesn't it sounds too good to be true?
For me it does, so although I had quit photography as a full time occupation, I hadn't updated my technical knowledge nor my equipment for more than a decade and I hadn't dedicated enough time to built a solid portfolio I thought that I might deserve a place there.
Of course I was rejected :)
Deep down I knew it in advance, but it was the awakening need to identify myself as a photographer again that made me to give it a try. In those two years that have pass, I want to believe that I have evolved as a photographer and I am now preparing myself for a second try!
I have made my self evaluation and I have come to my conclusions about the first attempt but I am sharing those pictures now, exactly as I submitted them back then, because I would like to hear your opinion.
Where do you think is the main fault of those images?
In technical adequacy?
Artistic angle?
Storytelling?
Something else?
I would be very glad to hear what you think and there is no need to be kind. Your personal view is good enough for me!
All the pictures were taken with my Canon EOS 7D and all the words are mine.
