One of the questions was “How do you overcome the fear of photographing strangers up close.” NYC street photographer Chris Voss answered it perfectly. The fear of mediocrity at something he loves is more scary that photographing strangers. Ya know,Continue reading “Fear of Mediocrity”
Bangers
If you refer to your photos as bangers, you’ve been influenced to the point of no return.
