As creatives, as well as human beings, it`s so important to understand \u2013 and accept \u2013 that our work is not for everyone. That`s in fact not just the case with art but with almost all things. Cars for example: not everyone would love a classic car. And there are others who wouldn`t want any other car but a classic car.<\/p>

It is impossible to please everyone, but it is possible \u2013 and much more effective \u2013 to please someone or a few people. I`ve been listening to Seth Godin lately and he says: \u201cIt is impossible to create work that both matters and pleases everyone.\u201d And: \u201cDon`t be a purple drop in the ocean but be a purple drop in a swimming pool. Walk away from the ocean and look for a swimming pool.\u201d<\/p>

If we want to create work that truly matters to SOME, then we need to stop trying to dilute it, so that EVERYONE can be happy with it. We need the confidence and the courage to tell those people who don`t like it: Sorry, but this is not for you. If we want to create authentic and strong work, it can`t be for everyone and that`s ok.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This doesn`t mean that we shouldn`t learn and improve and progress. But, while I want to stay open to constructive critique, I as well want to stay true to myself. Photographer David duChemin writes in his book \u2018The heart of photography\u2019: \u201cYou are your first and most important audience.\u201d<\/p>

There will always be stuff that can be improved, and we`re just human. But while we keep making progress and working on our art, we shouldn`t run after compliments or try to please everyone. We need to be able to distinguish: Does the person, who doesn`t like my work have a point, and is there an opportunity for me to learn? Or is my work just not for him? Both are just fine.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Nicht f\u00fcr jeden<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Als Kreative und als Mensch ist es wichtig zu verstehen und ok damit zu sein, dass unsere Arbeit nicht f\u00fcr jeden ist. Das gilt ja f\u00fcr fast alles, nicht nur f\u00fcr Kunst. Autos zum Beispiel: Nicht jeder will unbedingt einen Oldtimer. Aber f\u00fcr manche gibt es kein besseres Auto.<\/p>

Es ist unm\u00f6glich, jedem zu gefallen, aber es ist m\u00f6glich \u2013 und viel effektiver \u2013 jemanden oder ein paar Leute anzusprechen. Ich habe in letzter Zeit viel vom Marketing-Experten Seth Godin geh\u00f6rt und er sagt: \u201eEs ist unm\u00f6glich Arbeiten zu produzieren, die gleichzeitig einen Unterschied machen und jedem gefallen.\u201c Und: \u201eSei kein lila Tropfen im Ozean, sondern sei ein lila Tropfen in einem Swimming Pool. Wende dich vom Ozean ab und schau nach einem Swimmingpool.\u201c<\/p>

Wenn wir Arbeit schaffen wollen, die MANCHEN Leuten wirklich etwas bedeutet, dann m\u00fcssen wir aufh\u00f6ren sie zu verw\u00e4ssern, damit sie JEDERMANNS Sache wird. \u00a0Wir brauchen den Mut und das Vertrauen, den Leuten, die sie nicht m\u00f6gen, zu sagen: Sorry, das ist nicht f\u00fcr dich. Wenn wir authentische und starke Arbeiten machen wollen, kann das nicht f\u00fcr jeden sein und das ist ok.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Das bedeutet nicht, dass wir nicht lernen, besser werden und vorankommen sollen. Aber w\u00e4hrend ich offen f\u00fcr konstruktive Kritik sein m\u00f6chte, will ich auch mir selbst treu bleiben. Fotograf David duChemin schreibt in seinem Buch ,Das Herz der Fotografie\u2018: \u201eDu bist dein erstes und wichtigstes Publikum.\u201c<\/p>

Es wird immer Dinge geben, die wir verbessern k\u00f6nnen und wir sind nur Menschen. Aber w\u00e4hrend wir an uns und unserer Kunst arbeiten, sollten wir nicht Komplimenten hinterherrennen oder versuchen, jedem zu gefallen. Wir m\u00fcssen unterscheiden k\u00f6nnen: Ist an dem, was die Person, die meine Arbeit nicht mag, was dran – ist das also eine M\u00f6glichkeit f\u00fcr mich was zu lernen? Oder ist meine Arbeit einfach nicht f\u00fcr ihn?\u201c Beides ist ok.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
