Grayish spotted street. Part 3

Once someone says about these pictures that they are ugly, unaesthetic and generally reflect the already boring gray routine, they will be right. But I immediately have a couple of questions – if you don't like it, then why are you watching? And the second: what is beauty in general?

I'm a photographer. I work in a variety of photographic fields. I can shoot a good reportage, I can shoot a beautiful and aesthetic landscape, I can make a portrait.

But I am also a person who studies the world through photography.

All these and many other pictures (even courtyards and dugouts) are nothing but an experiment, a game, a challenge.

Among the dugouts, I studied myself and the atmosphere around them, the feelings that cause them and how they affect me.

Spotted Street is more of a game called "Collect more spots and objects!"

I don't take these pictures seriously, although I love them all.

I don't consider it art, although others do, and it still falls under the criteria of creativity.

It's just a game, entertainment, learning about your intellectual abilities, your vision.

If someone seriously thinks that these pictures reflect my inner state, my mood, then this is almost completely wrong.

Any creative wave, any genre of photography differs from each other in frequency, but all of them are the product of intellectual activity and emotional experiences to one degree or another.

It's hard for me to talk about photography as creativity.

The most valuable thing is a person's vision, in his perception of the world – and this is a unique code that is a reflection of personality and soul.

And if I want to see reality in a pile of spots and objects, then that's how it will be.

If I like to photograph dugouts, then who will forbid me? The main thing is that it's not illegal and I enjoy it.

That's when a person in the same style shoots the same views for many years in a row - you have to think about it...

Sometimes, of course, there must be guidelines for aesthetics and relevance.

But who sets these standards – the editors of the leading photo agencies? What if I'm the first in some kind of my own style?

If you walk within one narrow corridor all the time, you will never succeed. We need to go beyond the limits. Well, first of all, everything should suit yourself personally and please, and only then everything else.
