I have a photo mentor who kicked my ass Tuesday.... he told me I was playing it safe, that my work was getting too nice, smooth, and client-friendly.... if I wanted to get more good clients, I had to be willing to offend somebody, be willing to try shit, be willing to push things, even if art directors hire you for your knockout portfolio, then ask you do tone it down, you can always tone it down, but only a few people can tone it up....
Stop being afraid somebody won't like it.... be HAPPY when somebody is offended.... especially if they are mediocre themselves....
- great advice. safe is good for others for a limited time. and what is growth without pain?zenmasterfoo
