This is a series where I take pictures of my backyard with various angles. I take a lot of pictures. I don’t take a lot of pictures right away, I wait until I get back in the car and take enough pictures with my phone to get me through the day and get a clear idea of what’s happening with my yard.
My favorite thing about photographing my yard is that I have no idea what I’m getting out of it. I can’t tell you how much I love getting my picture taken, but it’s never like “Oh look I like these angles”. It’s kind of the opposite. I love seeing and feeling this space I’m getting to know so much better. I love seeing that grass that I’ve cut and seeing the way that the weeds keep coming back.
But I digress….
I don’t know if it’s because I love how quickly I get to go into my yard and take a picture of it, or because I love the fact that I feel like my yard and my house have always been so intertwined. I like that it feels like my house has always been this place I’ve been, but now it’s just so much more. It’s like I took a picture of my house and then my yard. It just seems to work out well.
The same can be said for photography. Like art, photography is in the eye of the beholder. It’s as subjective as we are, so even though everyone has a different opinion, there are certain things that you can always relate to. In this case, it’s whether you value having pictures of your yard as a part of your home or as a part of your home. One of my favorite pictures I’ve taken of my yard is this one of a little girl holding a camera.
This is similar to my initial point. The people who take pictures of their home, or of their yard, tend to have a positive or negative opinion about it. They often have preferences, as well, and that can be a deciding factor in whether or not you want your photos to be shared. If your friends and family are used to your home being shot, you may want to try to avoid them. They might not understand your perspective, which may make it difficult to explain it to them.
I think the biggest factor of whether or not you want to share your home photos is if they’re going to be shared. If your photos are going to be shared, you should let them. If you don’t, then you should take them down. This is because if people are going to see your home through the lens of your camera, they’re going to see it through a different lens. This is why it’s good to know your photos will be shared.
This is where many potential clients might not understand why you want to post your home photos. If you tell your potential clients that you would only share your photos if they are going to be shared, they might not understand what youre saying. Instead, if you want to share your home photos, you should post them yourself. Because even if they are posted on other peoples’ websites they will be able to see what you see, but youll only be able to see what you took.
The key to posting home photos yourself is to make sure you have a quality background. There are no rules to what a good background should be, but it does have to be something that you take seriously. If you want to share your home photos, the only way you can do that is to take them seriously.
That said, we don’t recommend posting your home photos on social media. Some people do it for the wrong reasons, like to make them seem more “cool” or “fun.” While these are all valid reasons, they are not the only ones. If you do post your home photos, you want to make sure you are posting them in a way that makes them not just “cool” but also memorable.
