I'm at my beginning

in real things of photography. That's how I feel. Whatever I am doing now is just experimenting, and the results are rarely satisfying for myself. I want more. More extreme shots from concerts that look unusual and advanced. I thought earlier that here I must post all the famous names in order to promote myself on DA, but in fact what is important is the image itself. If I compare a gallery with many mediocre, one-glance shots or with few excellent ones, I feel that the second one would have more impact. So far I have to keep many shots that I would rather exchanged for something better, but I yet have to obtain these better shots, while showcase at DA is necessary to show off my current work to necessary people.

I constantly feel an overload of what I want to learn more and shoot more interesting subjects. On-location artificial light. Excellent photoshop skills. Great cosplayers from Russia and not only. More concert photography of course. Also, I want to straighten  my development in the photography, become less random and more focused. I want to shoot a promo or two. I want to find some great background locations in Moscow, St.-Petersburg, Istanbul and Kazan in order to have my shoots in good places. I want to hang out with some great photographers I know and learn many things that I am eager to learn. (I wish I would be so desperate in my daily research!). That's a whole life ahead, and honeslty I feel like I know much less that I need.

Fiture website
I want to build a website with pics and I need a name for it. I came up with an idea, that name of the portfolio should be quite an opposite to what one sees there (normally, screaming sweaty artists of Finnish nationality) — such as, eternal-silence, forever-still or something. I welcome suggestions and recommendations. Name should sound dark, be not pathetic,  have a good rythm and be short enough and easy to remember.


Feature
I would like to feature an interesting Turkish photographer BerkDuygunArts, Berk Duygun. His works are mostly in some avant-garde fashion shoots,  he shoot middle-format film and he got interesting models. It is rare to find a gothic lolita in Istanbul, but he managed.
