Sound familiar? Perhaps this is not your case. Perhaps you are a photographer because you really have a passion for it and you love creating art. Regardless... photography is therapy for the soul. It is an instrument that makes music you don't hear but see.
PHOTOGRAPHY IS A BOOK WITH A STORY TO TELL!
Despite the beauty... it's easy to let your worst critic get in the way of making photography a truly enjoyable experience. Instead of photography being therapy for the soul, it can transform itself into a constant torment as we compare ourselves to others.
... Mostly because it is extremely difficult to be nice to ourselves. In fact, it is a lot easier to criticize and doubt everything we do...
The urge to become "as good as" one of my favorite photographers was dragging me right into a deep dark hole of doubt and in-conformity. I had to stop and think of a way to be authentic and to be happy being me.
After some time of refocusing, I felt comfortable with myself and I started liking my personal photography touches.
... I admore plenty of photographers bigger than me BUT I do not wish to be like them. I LOVE being me.
Now the question is, do you feel inspired or discouraged by other photogrphers?
If photography is causing you headaches, anxiety or if you find yourself carrying a havey bag of jealousy; you are not alone!
