I'm spring-cleaning my photography portfolio, and seeing a dreadfully outdated collection of images (returning to the fun-filled advertising world after a few years of life happening). Everything I'm shooting now looks exactly nothing like what I've done in the past. Is it inappropriate to request creative briefs that never saw the light of day to work from in order to generate fresh material? I'm relearning about ever-changing protocols, so bear with me. I appreciate any guidance. Thanks!

You picked a hell of a time to return to advertising, Darin. But if you
Enjoy shooting and editing, and can also concept, and maybe slap on some weird titles and stickers (doesn’t have to look good anymore), you might have luck as a social content creator (man I f@!king hate those three words). Much sought after these days though.

Thst's a shame, primarily because I am not well-versed in proper stickerslappery, although I might apply weird titles, maybe, as a lingering remnant of my VCU days.

I know that the industry, like other organic behemoths, is cyclic, and once everything looks like it was negotiated in the back room of a thrift store, the pendulum has nowhere to swing but upward, and I'm simply trying to build the levee before the river rises.
