A year ago, I was going to Odessa for a my master class. On the train, I read an article about Buddha. It turns out that his name is actually Gautamo Siddharho.
So, at one time, he said some wonderful words, as if especially for the master class:
"You can learn by memorizing and repeating. Memorizing known facts, thinking that you have understood something, or you can look at the essence of the matter, be able to look around and draw your own conclusions." Golden words. This is how something new and in demand appears, this is how "your own style" in photography appears. And not only in it. To learn, you need to kill your sense of self-importance. Otherwise, there is limitation and a stop.
This is how dogmatists and conservatives act. They stopped before they even started.
Photography is aesthetics. It is everything and everything in it.
