i’m so done seeing this shit on my facebook newsfeed. if i didnt rely on facebook to contact so many people i would deactivate it just for this.
1) you look like an idiot when you copyright your name to a photograph. you can do that when you have your own professional photo company. you’re 15 years old, get over yourself, you’re just using a canon rebel your parents bought you set on auto
2) no one wants to see countless pictures of a girl standing in a field of dead grass smiling. so what, the girl is pretty. if you want to focus on her beauty, then do a beauty profile shot. being outside does not automatically make it a good photo/artsy. have some purpose in your “art.” otherwise you look like vain teenage girls wasting your days trying to get the best profile picture thatll get you the most likes (oh wait, that’s exactly what you are!)
3) if you’re going to act all high&mighty about your photography, at least be good at it. it takes practice and taking artistic risks. taking pictures of the same things/people isn’t going to help you grow
4) i’m all for getting conceptual, but if you’re going to try to have some sort of theme, go all out! otherwise it looks half-done and lame. so the girl in the photo is standing in a dark alley, don’t make her smile and look cheerful! that’s so out of place. or a girl is in a field of flowers. sitting alone in the field. what’s she doing there? no one actually does that in real life! make it look natural not staged. so the girl is wearing a ball gown, why is she at a public park? pick a theme and put it to the extreme, that’s what makes photos powerful.
5) the vanity disgusts everyone. some people may tell you that the profiled girls “look gorgeousss!!! ily all!! <3 take photos for me sometime k?” but as a teenage girl you should know that deep down every other girl is comparing themselves, and despising you for your self-centeredness, arrogance, and vanity. and/or their own jealousy. it doesn’t make people like you or think highly of you. at all. it brings more hate into the world, particularly self-hate for some and hate for you.
maybe it’s just my fb friends, but this happens wayyyy too muchh. like every month there’s a new album. i’m sick of it. and yes, i’ve already tried hiding them from my newsfeed. it never ends
