Obsessions

by Jaquiht| 2nd of September, 2017

Within my general obsession with photography I have developed numerous small sub-obsessions. Whenever these crop up I want to go and photograph that same thing again and again until I get a photo that I am happy with, or until what will become my next obsession pops up: usually the latter happens first. At that point, I abandon my existing obsession like a once new toy, and immerse myself in the latest fad. And so it goes on, until eventually I chance upon my most comforting subject once again, exclaim... continue reading

Why I'm Obsessed With Abandoned Places

by Penpossessed| 14th of June, 2017

Obsession

by Stuartkey| 1st of August, 2007

I don't know about other photographers, but since I joined Dreamstime and started to receive sales, my outlook on my photography has changed drastically.Before Dreamstime (BDT!) I would describe my approach to my photos as being 'impulsive'. If we were out somewhere, say a safari park, I would snap away taking pictures, maybe looking for shots which may look good on the wall, but more often than not I would just be recording the day. 'This is where we went, this is what we saw...' etc. etc.... continue reading
