If you find yourself struggling during colder, darker seasons, you’re not alone. In this video, Aidin Robbins shows how he fights winter burnout and how you can too.
I’ve suffered from burnout many times over the years — I believe it’s an inevitable part of both creating and running a business. When you’re running your own creative business, you’ll feel twice as likely! My fatigue intervals don’t usually correlate with the seasons, but I can certainly understand how that happens. If you’re a landscape photographer or you have to create content outside, winter can be harsh; Shorter daylight hours, difficult shooting conditions, and the need for more gear can all leave you struggling with motivation to get started.
This video doesn’t particularly apply to me, although the message can certainly be applied in other areas. However, it will apply to many photographers and more interesting is still the video itself. Aidin Robbins is one of my favorite YouTubers because I find that his work inspires me even when he speaks in a language I can’t understand — true cinematic art. art with surprising consistency.
