All creative waves are needed, all genre frequencies are important! The reportage wave is good because everyday life is very often used as illustrations for a news topic.
Evkovka Park was once not landscaped, and I had already filmed people riding downhill there.
And then my photo of winter fun was used as an illustration of the landscaping project. Nice.
That day I just came for a walk and took pictures while my eldest son was riding down the slide.
I've fixed my mindset for a long time: always and everything shoot!
You never know which frame will come in handy later.
And if you want the photos to work, and not to lie "in the table", then you need to shoot a lot.
Another important rule: shoot for yourself.
It often happens that when taking pictures on assignment, photos are not in demand.
And very often, when taking pictures for themselves, the photos hype out and stay in the news background for a long time.
I'm used to enjoying every shoot and doing it the way I would shoot it for myself, for the soul.
And it should be in the head.
There must be an attitude in which there is no selfish intent.
You don't have to think about how people will react, you don't have to think about how many views and likes a series of images will earn - first for yourself, then for people.
It's good when a hobby coincides with work and work doesn't overlap with a hobby.
I just get high from the process and it turns out well.
