Not yet. So far all youve done is take pictures. For museum or classic pictures they have to be culturally relevant. Iconic, that kind of thing. Promote your work, send to magazines etc and ask for feedback.

my work is about nihilism and loneliness. My book and photos are intended for people to realize that life is meaningless, but we have hope in creating a meaning for themselves.
If this is “culturally relevant” I don’t know.

Whatever your message, you need exposure to get anywhere.

I know. When I get a new computer Inwill expose my work on instagram.
I also will try to get into shows.
If these succeed I’ll publish my book.
After that I’m not sure what to do
Also based on my research, emotional power in a photo is enough to give you a chance at getting them shown in a museum.

Your photos often feel “classical” when they have qualities associated with older painting, film, or traditional photography styles rather than modern fast social-media aesthetics.
Some signs:
balanced composition
calm or timeless mood
natural lighting
strong shadows/light contrast
earthy or muted colors
subjects posed with intention
emotional restraint instead of exaggerated expression
texture and depth
simplicity
Classical images often feel like they could exist outside a specific year.
Common classical influences:
The Starry Night style moodiness
Renaissance paintings
black-and-white street photography
Tarkovsky-style cinema
old film photography
religious or mythic symbolism
Your photos may also feel classical if they have:
silence
ritual feeling
nature symbolism
solitary figures
candle/fire/light motifs
weather atmosphere
ancient-looking spaces
A quick self-test: Ask yourself:
Would this still look interesting in 20 years?
Does it rely on trends or filters?
Does it feel composed rather than random?
Could it be printed in a photo book or gallery?
If yes, it may lean classical.
A lot of “classical” photography is less about expensive gear and more about:
patience
framing
light
emotional tone
visual discipline.
I wouldn’t call my photos “calm.” My work usually has a dark, pessimistic, nihilistic feeling. Sometimes people don’t like that though.

I think its your imagination that.
Depressed people make depressing art lol
I’ve been trying to experiment with happier tones though.

Probably. When I was a kid I made happier photos but slowly moved to dark. Making dark art is a form of therapy. I take my suffering and “put it on” a piece of paper.
