INSIGHTS FROM @excio photo community Photography is what we are all about here and yet, thanks to our growing community and enthusiastic members, Excio is so much more. Our editorial teams’ selection of the most interesting photos which you’ll see on the following pages is based on our #PhotographyForGood principle – more than just a pretty picture, we are interested in the story behind each shot whether that be explained in words or already obvious to the viewer from the image. This is what sets Excio apart as a photo community - we don't focus on technical perfection, but on the emotional connection and impact that photographs have (Excio –lat. evoke, entice). Of course, that’s not to say that you shouldn’t be working to develop your photography skills too. Look at the Top 10 photos uploaded by members of the Excio Photo Community to their portfolio’s on Excio (otherwise known as Excio collections) and pause for a moment... All of the photos look very professional and you may start doubting your own skills, but to be brutally honest – two thirds of our members had and indeed have the same thoughts. Every time we as photographers, artists, and creators upload something that will be visible to the public there is fear – fear of not being accepted, of not being “good enough”, of judgment and so on. Practice makes perfect, it sharpens our awareness and helps us to see photo opportunities everywhere around us. The main problem is that most of us, and I am not an exclusion, suffer quite often from ‘tunnel vision’ – we see what is dictated by our mind, our thoughts and our experiences. As an example, most of the time we treat weeds like weeds – something not welcome in our gardens. But if you let these stereotypes go and look at weeds from a new perspective you will see that they deserve respect in some way because they are stubborn and in some cases, produce irresistibly beautiful flowers. Switching off your judgmental way of thinking is the hardest barrier to overcome yet there are many techniques to help you. We will be sharing these in the next issues as well as on our blog (www.excio.io/blog). Every photographer has a different view of the world but the more you tame your ability to see, the more your photos will reflect the view of your own world. When out taking photos, let all your thoughts go and see what catches your attention then use your camera to capture what you’ve noticed. The more you develop the art of ‘seeing’ the more photography will open the window to your soul and your life. If you’re an Excio member reading this and are still doubting yourself and your work and can’t imagine one of your photographs being featured in the Top 10 next month, stop and consider who sets the standards and gets to decide what is good and what is bad? If your photo doesn’t win an award but does help someone get through a tough time by triggering positive emotions, memories or curiosity isn’t that all that matters? Be kind to yourself, be patient, and share what you create with others no matter where you are in your photography journey as we are all on the path to mastery.
