I pretty much know which of my photos will get the most engagement. That's not going to stop me from exploring what interests me artistically. Life is too damn short to be pigeon-holed. The stunning Mariah in my creepy basement. - ThreadSky

This is awesome.
Sometimes I am surprised about images that get high engagement and ones that get no attention. So, I just post what I want, because I like it

Any of my photos with a beautiful model wearing an ugly Halloween mask always gets less engagement. However, those shoots were always super fun for me so I'm gonna post regardless!

Right? Ones that strike a cord in me seldom get much attention. To each their own, I suppose

So true. If you focus on engagement here you get bored pretty quickly.

I'm a huge proponent of shooting what makes you happy, regardless of audience response. I usually find that sort of work more compelling because it's coming from a deeper artistic place

I really believe that photographers especially are afraid of being judged or labeled. And that's a huge artistic killer
