#63 - Are you downgrading by becoming a photographer?
Manage episode 373835731 series 2984144
Few months ago, a food photographer reached out to me.
She is a full-time architect and a passionate food photographer and blogger.
She sent me a voice message with a question.
When I heard that question I could not believe it.
She was saying something I never had the courage to say out loud.
You see, we all have thoughts. Some that we share and some that are so difficult that we can’t even say them out loud.
One such thought that I could never say out loud was -
Will I be considered educated and intelligent enough if I’m just a photographer? Is this career switch a step up in life or step down?
In this week’s podcast, I’m sharing big truth bombs about being a professional food photographer. It is a very raw and real episode, packed with realities of choosing a creative career.
I talk about all the secret thoughts we have when considering food photography as a career and I also share what I did about those thoughts.
I have never talked about this with anyone. Not even with my husband. This is the first time I’m laying it all straight up on the table.
If you have ever considered leaving your 9-5 to start a creative career whether as a photographer or a blogger or stylist etc. then you most definitely have had some strong thoughts.
There are so many doubts and insecurities associated with a career change especially if it is not a glamorous switch but rather a bold & brave switch.
The question from that food photographer took me back to the time when I was stuck in a dilemma and had so many scary thoughts around food photography as a full-time job.
Hope this open & honest episode helps you answer the doubts & address the insecurities you may be too scared to say out loud.
Reach out if you’ve been going through similar thoughts. I know exactly what you feel.
