Do you want to be popular or good? Popular or rich? A popular photographer or have popular photos? How important is popularity? Sad to say, but I think in today’s world popularity is overrated and underrated. Make sense? I think it depends on how important popular is to you. I think you should decide what is import for you and your art.
For me… I don’t care that much about popularity. I don’t measure my success with how popular I am. I do think my photos are more popular than me anyways. I think everyone has seen my photos, but doesn’t know it’s me. Having popular photos is more important to me than me being popular. My photos will last forever and I will only be here another 100 years at best. ;-)
I’ve always felt that being good at what you do will last longer and be more fun. I’ve worked hard my whole life to be the best that I could be no matter what I shoot. If popularity comes from this, great. If not, all good. I think it’s different for everyone and everything. I just know having popular photos is pretty cool.
