I recently watch a singing contest show, and the judge commented on one of the contestant way of singing, as he is mimicking other singer voice.
and it got me thinking on the issues of originality....
you may copy others voice/style at the beginning as a stepping stone for the learning stage, but frm there, you must explore your own style,else, slowly you will become a "copy cat."
yes, a copy cat.... living behind others shadow..
and i am to relate it to design / styling / photography or creativity, the conceptual part.
i am in doubt of the "originality" issues too..
its now the 21st century, most of the ideas and concept has been done by others..
even for my own work, i cant even guarantee if it has been done before..
and cant deny the facts that, sometime it is just a coincidence that you thought of something that other ppl has been done before....
but to purposely copy it and make it your own work, i think that is very unforgivable..you may take the inspiration, how the work inspired you to form another piece of art, or to add in a different style of yours, but not to direct copy it.
i have seen some work, which i ADORE and ADMIRE... a piece of art, i must say, from styling, to composition...however, lately i found out that, it was a "DIRECT" copy from other photographers' achieves...you may be famous, and be recognized by ppl who didn't know of the original creator, but sooner or later, with the help of the advance internet, ppl will find out you are just a copy cat...
yes a copy cat.....
i am not a pro, nor i am very good in this field.. i am just to vent my disappointment over this issues. you may disagree with my point, but again, it is just my p.o.v.....
