The Hanging Tree

Added 2022-12-04 19:37:53 +0000 UTC

Are you, are you comin' to the tree?
Where they strung up a man, they say who murdered three
Strange things did happen here, no stranger would it be
If we met at midnight in the hanging tree

This song inspired me to create this set of self-portraits. Not gonna lie - I had a hard time making theese. Finding the right tree was the first problem, then running and climbing on tree naked second. Also editing was not easy because for some reason I didn't like the colours and location that much. I am really affraid I have an art block.

I've taken few really beautiful photos in the past and it's hard to beat them now. Also when I see other artists and the wonderful places they shoot in I think I can't compete with them at all. I compare myself to more experienced photographers and in my head I think I'll never be as good as them. I know two years of doing photography is not that much but I want to be better with every shot and because of that I put a lot of pressure on myself.

Hopefully this state will pass soon - as it did in the past. I won't stop taking photos of course. If you have any advice for me I will love to hear them.

Love, Erinthul.
