The real reason that you feel stuck as a Photographer

Morning Cup of Joe

Hey there! Are you feeling frustrated... stuck... overwhelmed with your photography? Well you've come to the right place. Thats what we're talking about today. I have a mini breakdown of this episode down below if you're interested as well: Why don’t I EVER improve? 1. The truth behind creative block/ writers block is not that you don’t have the ability to take photos. You’re just overthinking it and are striving for that perfection or award winning shot every time you snap a shutter. You feel stuck taking photos that you feel are bad. You’re just used to your work or you aren't shooting enough out side of your comfort zone 2. Improving your photography comes from different things. The technical aspect knowing your settings, being intentional with those settings and your compositions, finding what you enjoy taking photos of, knowing the difference between taking/ making photos, the story/ theme you are conveying, the feeling you want to deliver, the way you are and are not limiting yourself, the overall goal, thinking outside the box. 3. Put yourself in uncomfortable shooting situations that make you feel like you don’t know what you’re doing and make you problem solve 4. Trying different lenses, styles, types of photography, etc. 5. Photography is all about perspective. Put yourself in your audiences shoes. What do you want them to see? Or feel? Do you want something to seem big? Shoot low. Small? Shoot high. Want it to feel cluttered and chaotic add different foreground/ background elements, simple? Make it minimalistic and focused. Start to look at the world around you in frames.
