Some says that photography is a career opportunity, some says, photography is an inspiration, others says as hobby, etc. But basically photography is an expression, expression of the photographer.

Based on that we already could estimate what kind of picture will be the result of that photographer, the good, the bad, his/her emotion, all of it express in his/hes picture.

Shooting an object is not just recording it based on what we see, but most of it because of what we feel, that’s an expression. Spent more time looking at your environment, and you’ll be shock that inspiration is not something precious, it could come everywhere near you live.

If you’re deciding making your photo more personal, its better spent sometime alone, when you’re alone, its the best time to know yourself. Don’t care what everyone else says about you, but only God and you know it the best.

Although if you made photography as proffessional career, you’ll be force to produce image that are much more commercial, but if you put photography as expression, the result won’t be maximum.
Its better to put away other obstacle, listen to suggestion, but later the final decision are yours alone.
