#055: Are you overlooking the most important question to ask yourself as a conservation photographer? This episode helps you discover the cornerstone of your work!
There is a question that every conservation photographer needs to ask themselves and spend some quality time on answering.
It is a question that is often overlooked yet is a powerful tool to help you grow immensely on your journey of conservation photography and storytelling.
There is a caveat, though. This is not an easy question to consider, but when you find your answer, it becomes a lifeline in the toughest of times.
You will likely experience some resistance in trying to figure out the answer but, if you take the time to look inside yourself, you will discover what lies at the heart of your desire to be a conservation visual storyteller.
Your answer to this question becomes a guiding light for everything else you do. It gives you purpose and focus, but it also gives you the courage to persevere when things get hard. It helps you to stay aligned to your values and lets you know when you are veering off course.
In this episode, I explain why answering the question of your why is the first and most important step in starting and growing a career in this field.
