Thanks for this post Anna, indeed it could be the 2nd part of Create better work by not giving a shit :)

Such attitude is pretty liberating.

It's funny that I actually got rid of that pressure before it really started, right at the beginning of my adventure with toy photography.

Of course, I also wanted to make such beautiful, colorful and well-edited pictures, but I simply lacked both the skills and the equipment. With a phone, a random jumble of lamps, and a little knowledge, I couldn't do much, so I literally and figuratively drifted into the shadows, but not just because; such aesthetic climates are simply close to me. We even discussed it in my BC feature once.

However, I have to admit, there was a time at the very beginning that I was wondering whether I should try a different style that worked well for others in terms of popularity. But I figured it wouldn't be me and dropped those thoughts and well, I gave myself the right to be disliked.

So off-brand could be my middle name ;)
