OK after some comments in another post I made, it's prompted me to post the question "What do People Really Want ?"
When I first started to shoot 10 years ago, my images and video were very amateur... as time went on and my skills improved so did my images, with new and more expensive equipement my work improved even more, including HD video...
However just recently I was told my work was "too good" which did make me chuckle, as I think we still shoot pretty average content compared to some of the shooters out there...
But what do people really want, or more to the point what do the surfers really want ? Do they want the super high end stuff or do they want the more amateur feel ? Do they want HD videos, or do they want SD... I always thought one of the big sellers was guys believing the girls were involved themselves, and not shot by a production company or pro tog...
More and more I see nowadays is pro shot, realy high quality... have people moved away from the amateur looking stuff ? Just looking for some discussion on the matter
