I'm taking a short summer break. But I'd never leave you hangin' without something inspiring to listen to. So, I'm bringing back this much-loved episode that is absolutely jam-packed with insights and tips you can use in your own creative work. Enjoy!
#061: As photographers, it can be frustratingly easy to get so far into our head when we're shooting.
We're thinking about expectations.
We're thinking about judgment.
We're thinking about perfection.
We're holding ourselves to certain standards – standards we may have set for ourselves, but more likely were set by others – that we think that we must adhere to.
And we get so wrapped up in all that muck…
that we forget to shoot with our heart. We forget to look for essential things, like the story of this moment, this scene, this subject we're capturing.
We forget about the creativity, the craft, the joy of process.
And we forget to ask certain questions of ourselves as we're shooting, that guides us to images that reflect what we want to say, images that reflect our style.
So today we are exploring five powerful questions that will radically transform you as a photographer, and the quality of the images you produce.
You'll Learn
- Why mindset is so important in how you approach your scene or subject
- Five questions that recenter, reframe, and reconnect you to your photography
- How questioning yourself can free you from frustration in the middle of a shoot
- The biggest myth we tell ourselves in conservation photography and how to break free from it
