Whilst he wasn't actually talking to me, something that @org_nicecrime said in Silky 's "A photographer's guide to attracting a TF shoot" thread started me thinking:-
"I'd also suggest (nicely) that by asking the opinions of the subjects regarding what images you post it suggests you're not completely confident in your own skills. I know with 100% certainty which images from my shoots will go up and which will not make the cut and no amount of external pressure will change that."
Whilst I do have the occasional crisis of confidence, I am generally a cocky sod. I really don't think confidence is the issue for me. My problem is that I am simply RUBBISH at choosing my own pictures. These days, I generally leave it a week before I even look at the shoot. Then I ask my missus to help me choose. It sort-of works, but it is far from ideal. Does anyone else have this problem or am I alone?
