yes this is under discussion but that’s bc i needed under something and there’s no rant tag so here we r. i don’t rlly want advice unless you’ve got inspiring words or experienced something similar bc i’m on a thread🥲
i’m in honors photography which is AP but we just don’t submit our work to college board yet. which means we are working on our sustained investigations, which is basically where we experiment with photography while exploring a question ig? i can’t explain it better than that sry. but although i get to use my creativity without too many limits except 1, due dates. i love taking portraits and on top of that am a junior in high school behind in her classes, i don’t have the time to find models that matches my time frame while also working on classes i actually have to put brain into. i have so many ideas for my “hobby” photography and i don’t even have time for “class photography”. i can’t quit for too many reasons i’m not gonna list. it’s just so frustrating. and i have other hobby’s that i have that i haven’t even been doing on top of that.
Keep in mind photography and film teachers are only teaching because they can’t get by making a living doing it for real, or they are just lazy and see an easy job.
I got a college degree in it. YouTube these days is a better resource than school teachers when it comes to creative arts.
Teachers tend to have a stick up their a$$ and act like their way is the only way in a field that is completely dynamic and has no rules, not even camera settings should be considered a rule, it’s all about how you use your camera and your creative mind
