An unexpected splash of criticism

This is a little bit of a different post to what I normally make in this community. Recently, I got an email. Someone had completed the contact form on my [website](www.perdikis.art). Now, I get a lot of spam through my web form - people offering to sell me "genuine" [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/holoz0r/?hl=en) followers or the age old classic Internet spam.

Before I continue, I want to share some of my favourite images that I've captured over the years.

Jess as the bride - Natural light, 24-70 lens, hotel room?

Anyway, back to the email. This email was different. It was new. There was evidence that the submitter had read my website. And as I stood in the moshpit between bands, at a concert, I laughed. I also thought "who is this person?" They provided a name, and an email, but the domain resolves to a 404.

At the same time, I had the thought, "I've made it, I finally have a hater!"

The contents of the contact form?

>sorry but on your site you say things like never settle for mediocrity and yet the portrait photos look like they are from the 1990s. Girls half dress and dressed and some photos just look like they were taken with an iphone..... i mean really! Have you ever sold one ye? Change your wording until your skill level gets close to professional.

![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/holoz0r/23tmmEVjpHDTosKjtyYD9uLtB2PZrHjuDy7VvVRELKywgLPFuQQBubHsRQ8pkZ4w75yTX.png)(Also, is there a darkmode for gmail?)

I read that statement with a piece of my photography currently sitting in a gallery, having been paid the week prior for a photographic job, and having received a highly commended award in an Australian photographic competition. I've posted about each of those events on HIVE.

I like to think that I am a good photographer. Now granted, my photographic style is heavily inspired by the pre-raphaelite painters, and the female form was indeed something heavily depicted in their work - and it is something that I capture extensively in my own photographic practice.

Are there a few scantily clad ladies on my website? Sure. Certainly, definitely. This work is always a collaboration. I endeavour to be as tasteful as possible in each and every image that I publish. After all, the only difference between a good and a bad photographer is what they show you.

Or, as Basquait once said, "There is no such thing as good or bad taste, there is just taste" (I may be paraphrasing there)!

I have a page on my site which just dumps every single image I've got in my media library onto a single ... loooong page. https://perdikis.art/all-the-images/ The order is completely randomised... but er, I don't see how the or where the criticism levelled at my work regarding its quality or professional standards by this individual is valid?

I've got a tax return to prepare shortly, and there's much photographic work (and kilometres driven) to include.

So, I will not be changing the wording on my site. I will stand defiantly by the quality and the style of my work.

But I do want to know, if you were me, or you were you - what photos would you remove from my website? If you were to remove them, what could I do to make them better?

I am open to criticism, but I am also capable of separating the criticism of my output with the criticism of me as a human.

If I don't know what I am doing wrong, I can't improve.

I also know that critiques of my work are not critiques of me as a human being. I am too aware, that as a male, depicting females in my work, in controlled environments, it is inseparable from the default "male gaze", which genetics hath cursed me with.

Therefore, please, take me back to my university days, studying New Media Art (resulting in a Masters Degree in Visual Art and Design from the University of South Australia) - and give me some critical feedback!

[Now go!](www.perdikis.art) (And please comment below!)

Also - another question to you all - how do YOU deal with feedback, and how do you like to receive it?

Or, should I sell all my cameras and refund all my pending clients? I'm told that's the best way to make money in photography - to sell camera gear!

Taking criticism is hard my friend. I have taken classes on how to take criticism, so trust me I know :)

That said I have to agree with the person’s criticism after briefly looking at your portfolio. Times have changed. Now an average person can generate superlative enchantments with Lightroom. Add the AI enhancement and the iPhone photos enhanced will totally outperform your original work.

This is what I am talking about

https://youtu.be/HR7o8SQlmBk?si=t3IAbRTXk0l7dj_W

And this is not particularly recent. This art has moved on my friend. And you have been left behind. If you take photos for yourself it’s cool and you can do whatever you want. But if you do it for the clients, today’s need is different.

Here is the good news. This is easy stuff so if you choose to catch up it’s easy to do.

Hope you don’t mind the way I wrote this. You asked for an opinion and I have given you one.


PS I still own a 5D Mark III and a lot of wide angle L- glass (I was shooting Landscapes mostly, never done portrait). Haven’t used it in ages. It’s too heavy a gear now for me to carry.

I'll follow this tutorial a little later on some of my work and see how it goes. :) 

I was never one for high end retouching, I was always appreciated my subjects to look more human than artificial and perfect with flawless frequency separation and complexion.

I've just woken up, and am pretty sure this  tutorial is ome aboitndodge and burn at a mixro level. I will check it out later today and will let you know how I go. 

I am always looking to improve myself. The way you delivered your feedback was tactful and direct, no need to worry about hurting my feelings. :)

Much appreciated! I have struggled to give feedback in the past. Both here at hive and also in real life :)

Just skimmed through it, its not the process I thought it was - can probably be duplicated locally using SD upscale. Not sure how this will work at print resolutions, but for screen work it would be fine. 

I guess this is also a point in history where the path of photography diverges - we either have images captured in camera (I do very little retouching - try to limit myself to what was available when I was learning to shoot film) - or, we have super crisp, super processed images. 

I like photography because we capture photons and store them. It's an objective truth of a given segment of time. When it is pushed too far, that truth breaks down. 

Given that I am planning an exhibition called "Myth" and have previously dabbled in AI image gen (even training a small model locally on my work) I think it will be interesting to go back and do "some AI" and get it into the same polynomial space that I can get my traditional images.

There is nothing special about that tutorial and as I said, it’s already outdated. It just showed up as first hit on YouTube. My point is AI re-touching is the new trend. Everyone is doing it so many clients expect it.

Photography as an art becomes a lost art when people are expecting to photograph them holding hand with Ed Sheeran at their graduation pictures! What can you say to that?

For me the photographs you shared in this post and that you have taken over the years, I have found to be beautiful. I think in every walk of life there will always be naysayers, more so now that they hide behind a keyboard. But if they are criticizing you it's because you are doing something right and somehow they feel jealous. Keep up the good work. Someday I'd like to be as good as you.

>I'm told that's the best way to make money in photography - to sell camera gear!

LOL. Tell you this, I had photography as a side gig for about ten years, I quit in 2018 to start a family. I didn't sell any of my photography gear as I use it for my personal needs. I guess I could have made some money selling my Canon 5D Mark 3 and my set of L lenses as well as soft boxes, beauty dish and ring flash, but I like having it for my own needs.

Unless you have a reason like me to quit photography I would ignore the criticism. I do miss my nice stream of revenue from the side gig... 

Here is one of my images from around ten years ago:

Softboxes take up so much space... 

Nice lighting. Never sell good glass! Cameras are at a point now where other than auto focus working at more and more stops on bodies, in lower and lower light, theres not much more advancement to come.

I mean I think we were there with the 5dm3 and d750, and the original A Sony S. 

Sure autofocus and colour depth gets better... but last generation tech still punches well, well above its value on the 2nd hand market!

If you are being paid for your work and winning awards then you can have confidence in what you are doing. Of course people can have opinions, but that doesn't seem too constructive. If you don't know what their experience is then it's hard to tell how qualified they are to judge you. You can take the 'advice' however you want.

My creative endeavours have tended to be for fun and so far nobody has told me to stop. If another musician offers me advice then I am willing to listen. I've found the local music scene to be very supportive. I just started taking in-person drum lessons and the teacher immediately picked up on some things, but that is what I am paying them for. 

I have put plenty of music online and have not really suffered from trolls so far. I'm sure there are nasty people out there who just like being negative.

In my professional field people seem pretty happy with what I do and that has kept me in paid work for years. That gives me some satisfaction.

**Who Are The Leaders of Hive?**  

Hive, a blockchain born of rebellion against centralization, now stands at a crossroads. Its ethos—decentralized, community-driven, and free—is shadowed by a corrosive reality: the unchecked power of entities like *@themarkymark* and *@buildawhale*, whose coordinated downvotes and acrimonious tactics have driven creators to despair. This is not governance; it is a tyranny of silence.  

### **The Illusion of Leadership**  
Hive has no crowned sovereign. Its “leaders” are stewards: developers refining code, witnesses securing consensus, and communities shaping culture. Yet power, as history teaches, consolidates in vacuums. When accounts with vast Hive Power (HP) weaponize downvotes to stifle dissent, they erode the very democracy Hive was built to protect. This is not leadership—it is oligarchy masquerading as order.  

### **The Exodus and the Alternative**  
Creators flee. Talented voices, weary of punitive curation, migrate to platforms like **Blurt**, where downvotes are absent and dialogue thrives. Blurt’s rise will be no accident; its simplicity—a sanctuary from Hive’s toxicity—highlights a fatal flaw in our ecosystem. A single change here could tip the scales. Imagine Blurt embraced by investors, listed on centralized exchanges, and fortified by liquidity. It needs only a catalyst.  

### **A Plea for Unity—and Action**  
We cannot wait. Each downvoted post is a fracture in Hive’s foundation. To stem the exodus, we demand:  
1. **Accountability**: Transparency in curation trails. End the shadowy alliances that silence critics.  
2. **Dialogue**: Replace hostility with conversation. Downvotes should *inform*, not annihilate.  
3. **Decentralized Governance**: Empower communities to audit power structures. No account, regardless of HP, should wield unchecked influence.  

### **Bilpcoin’s Pledge**  
The Bilpcoin team stands with Hive. We will:  
- **Expose Truths**: Audit transactions, trace power imbalances, and publish findings openly.  
- **Amplify Voices**: Reward constructive engagement with BPC tokens. Add **#Bilpcoin** or **#BPC** to your posts—earn while advocating for change.  
- **Bridge Divides**: Collaborate with witnesses, developers, and users to draft reforms.  

### **The Hour Is Now**  
Hive’s promise—a haven for free expression—hangs in the balance. Will we cling to infighting, or rise as a community? The tools for change are ours: blockchain transparency, collective will, and the courage to demand better.  

**Join us.** Audit wallets. Question power. Post fearlessly. Together, we can reclaim Hive’s soul—or watch its light dim as Blurt rises.  

*The choice is ours. Let it be written in history that we chose wisely.*  

Hive leadership crisis, decentralized governance reform, Blurt vs Hive, Bilpcoin transparency, blockchain accountability, downvote ethics.

@themarkymark @buildawhale & Co 

You wield downvotes like a weapon, striking indiscriminately at whoever displeases you, whenever it suits your whim. And why? Why do you call people names as though their humanity is secondary to your ego? Is this how you justify your behavior—to diminish others so they might seem less worthy of fairness? You claim disdain for AI on Hive, yet your inner circle freely employs it without consequence. No downvotes for them, only for those outside your charmed circle. Tell us, why are you so selective in whom you punish and whom you protect?

https://hive.blog/hive/@themarkymark/re-bpcvoter2-swxxng

@themarkymark & Co.,  

We are being completely honest here, and you know it. The transactions don’t lie—you cannot escape this, no matter who you bring in to back you up. It won’t work. You’ve already exposed many of those close to you, so let’s be clear: **WE ARE NOT TROLLING YOU. WE ARE SIMPLY SHARING THE TRUTH.** And the Bilpcoin team is far from stupid. Calling us names changes nothing—it only fuels our determination to work harder.

**IT’S OVER.**  

**SPEAK UP. MAKE NOISE. TAKE A STAND.**  
- **TURN OFF THE BUILDAWHALE SCAM FARM**  
- **STOP THE BAD DOWNVOTES**  
- **STOP PLAYING WITH PEOPLE’S LIVELIHOODS**  

---

### Key Issues That Demand Immediate Attention:  
The problems are glaring, undeniable, and corrosive to the Hive ecosystem. They must be addressed without delay:  
- **Downvote abuse**  
- **Farming schemes**  
- **Speaking disrespectfully to others**  
- **Encouraging people to avoid certain users out of personal dislike**  
- **Self-voting with alt accounts**  
- **Self-funding projects through self-votes**  
- **Promoting games that don’t even exist** (LOL)  

These practices do not just harm individual users—they undermine the very foundation of Hive, eroding trust and poisoning the community. Such actions are not only unethical but outright destructive.

The blockchain data tells the story plainly and clearly. We are not fabricating these claims; we are merely presenting what is already visible for all to see. As we’ve repeatedly urged @themarkymark & Co—the solution is simple: **STOP**.  

**SO PLEASE STOP.** It’s time to do what’s right for Hive and its community. Why cling to practices that harm others? Power down, step away, and let Hive thrive as it was meant to. You bring nothing positive to this ecosystem.  

**THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING—THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU.**  

**PLEASE STOP.**

Thanks for commenting! I too have gone down the musical path as well - I saw a piano teacher for about a year.  I just now enjoy improvising.  

I am not too worried about this feedback, to me it doesn't matter - and if my clients keep coming,  great.  If they don't ... then I guess I'll sell my cameras and throw away my university education.

I have to imagine that doing something creative as a job has challenges as people need to be willing to pay for what you create. I think your photos look great and I would be happy with work of that standard.

I doubt I could make a living from music, but I'm lucky I don't have to.
