Yes, I'm a food photographer, constantly looking to improve and do better and nicer things with life. But that doesn't happen without much effort and love for what I do.

That's why I think of food photography as an art, not a job. A job is something to do, with sheer technique, without much concerns for pleasure and love. For me, it's an art career, where I suffer every time I cannot do what I want to, the way I want to, and make my photos as beautiful as they could, and should, be.

It does hurt me deeply when I can't get where I want. Maybe it's a flaw, but it's one I would love to use to my own advantage and growth. That's why I want real feedback on my photos. Because, the "nice, wonderful, perfect" when there's room to improve, only massages my ego, but won't help me grow. I don't think critics are attacks. They're actually a helping hand in seeing your own weaknesses, and how to work them into improving and giving the world better, more poetic food imagery.

PS: Respect the food, don't just love it. :)
