Yeah its pretty and all but we've all seen this picture before and I think that it has stopped being a meaningful picture because we have seen it before. There is no novelty of this picture. Everyone is doing it, there is no more excitement I get from this picture. Its like a postcard picture. Gorgeous picture but nothing more.
2. A close up of a horse's eye.
Once again I think this is gorgeous but once again it is used and taken soo often now that it has ceased to mean anything. I am guilty of doing this myself. At the time I felt super cool because I was taking these amazing pictures and the idea was original but then you Google "horse eye close ups" and you get millions of photos. It just goes to show that good ideas quickly become popular and then are no longer "ground breaking."
3. Mare and foal photos in which the foal is hiding/doing something that is undeniably cute.
Thats all it is though. Cute. Nothing more nothing less. And thats not a bad thing, however I am looking to produce photos that have meaning beneath them and make the viewer feel something, anything at all. Whether it be anger, sadness or joy, the fact that my photo makes someone react is an accomplishment. I hope that my photos elicit some sort of reaction and if they don't then I will need to figure out if they are meaningful to me. If they are then great I won't change them but if they don't then I will need to figure out a way to take more meaningful photos.
4. A girl and her horse.
Now I think that these can be beautifully done and some are very unique; but, I feel that the majority of these photos are the same thing over and over again. Personally I think that these pictures can say a lot and appeal to many people; however, I think that they are too widely produced which makes them mean less.
5. And the last one. A horse running through the ocean.
Like number 4 I believe that a horse running on the beach can be done well and effectively but the generic shot of the horse running parallel to the camera with mane and tail flowing bores me. If this picture had a more interesting angle, different color choices and was cropped I think it would be elevated to another level, rather than just a pretty picture.
So what do you think? Are there some obvious cliche horse pictures I left out? Do you disagree with any of the ones I have on my list?
