way further

I had discussion about my way further in photography. I was glad, that I was asked in the group to talk about my photography as I
myself needed to put things together and make clear view. I come up
with following:

I do not like my photos anymore, they are too nice and that’s it. They do not have any extra expression from myself. I like to put into
pictures more symbolics and more tension which will require more
thinking from observer. Not everything will be on picture. One would be able to find only fragments, symbols, questions and little directions. All the rest he or she will need to make by his mind. To
achieve that I need to make my pictures in little bit more controlled
way and I am not afraid to say it, staged. This way I can create my own vision and I can create even little surrealistic shots.

I must say I am kind of enthusiastic about it. I do not have any exact ideas, but I am planning to create small series (projects) of photos which will express one theme, my view on certain topic. This way I will be not only observer, as I was up to know, but also creator!

When I started to write this note I though I will write much more, but seems to me that all important is said and I would be only adding
volume.
