Learning photography is a difficult thing, requiring you to combine many technical skills and creative vision to create successful photos. Therefore, when you dial it all in, you can easily stick to that habit and never grow your business. It might be time to ask yourself if you’re taking risks in your work, as this great video discusses.
Coming to you from Mike Smith, this excellent video discusses the importance of being willing to make mistakes in your photography. It can be easy to stay in your comfort zone, especially when you’ve worked hard to get there in the first place. Without a doubt, you can create a lot of interesting images there, and some people even build an entire career out of it. But the truth is that your best creativity rarely comes from a comfortable place, and if you’re interested in expanding not only your abilities but also creating your best work, you must be ready. Be willing to push outside that zone and make mistakes. This might even mean coming home from time to time with images where you’ve done nothing, but in the long run you’ll likely be grateful you’re willing to experiment. Check out the video above for the full summary from Smith.
