I don't like these (Patreon)

After I gave up doing advertising (because I got bored shooting), I stopped photographing entirely for 5-6 years.

Getting back into it, I was exploring different avenues, glamour and traditional sexy-girl images included.

I wouldn’t say I like these images and never really did, possibly with the exception of the second image.

But they were a vital waypoint that led me to what I prefer to shoot today, away from more traditional glamour-based photography. 

It may sound paradoxical to some, but I do not like these images because they are mainstream and not far from the kind of images printed in countless men's magazines.

I know myself well enough to know that the potential money I could (easily) make in this genre would lure me back into commercial photography and again shoot images that I could make money on, instead of the kind of images I wanted to do for myself.

Does that make sense?
