Amazingly enough, I don't shoot too much swimwear outside of model mixers.

Like most artists, I have a love/hate relationship with my past work. Still, I often find some hidden gems when I review older work.

A friend brought up the subject of my shooting against a bright white background most of the time. I should experiment with other lighting sets in the future.

Yes, that is decision fatigue and it is common to everyone. In fact, a famous marketing study proved that if you give people too many choices, they are most likely to choose "none at all". So taking a break is a really good idea then.
The problem with culling is when you have a lot of good pieces but not necessarily great pieces. Bad shots are easy to spot and great pieces tend to just jump out at you. But it’s the good shots tend to drive you crazy. That’s why I do two sets of reviews.

To me, I believe that kink is when you have two or more people having fun together. There is a reason why it is described as play.
