It depends on what kind of creative wave I'm on, whether I like different landscaping in the city or not. In the reporting wave (which has held the top positions for several years), I am attracted to the beautification of public spaces, as it looks aesthetically pleasing and is suitable for publication in news agencies.
So there is work, there are fees, there is movement and life.
But I remember this grove as it was before landscaping.
By the way, there are still pieces of the grove that have not been touched.
And if you go back about five years, there were completely different views here.
People were roasting shashlik with beer, just sitting around the campfire with a guitar playing.
And these kinds of real neformal, uncluttered ones are a different genre (deadpan, documentary).
And such views, with kebabs, dog walkers (now it is forbidden to take dogs to well–kept places), bonfires and others walking in the living urban environment, are exhibited in galleries and sometimes cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Now the question is, which is better – a reportage improvement, where photos can go to regional news agencies and even TASS or RIA, or an neformal, unsettled living place, where photos, under certain conditions, can be exhibited in galleries and sold many times more expensive than news royalties?
Yes, it will be more difficult to take pictures of drunken kebabs people...You can get in trouble., or you can make them pose ..it depends on how you approach them.
Photographing people in public places is generally easy, as long as it is aesthetically pleasing.
And now it is becoming more and more difficult to find uncombed living places where people would rest not quite culturally.
It seems to be boring...but if you have the firmware of accepting what is given, then it will not matter what changes and how, the main thing is that this process as a whole takes place.
