a single image

Late last night I was ruffling through my image library looking for an image, a single image to enter a competition. This in a strange way was quite new to me as the last year or so I’ve only thought about series. This is partly based on good advice on getting into the fine art world but I realised maybe in doing so I’d ignored hundreds of photos I’d taken.

This made me reconsider that the power of a single image, is surely more than that of a series (whether its part of it or not) and that maybe sometimes working on a series creates some images that, dare we admit, on their own aren’t powerful/good enough.

This slightly brings me back to my last post about stock. Were the images I was looking at for stock just being labelled because I was only concentrating on series now? I think I shall have to take a long hard look through my library and assess some of the single images buried within and try to find the right avenue for them.
