509: Tips to Overcome Photographers' Block and Revitalize Your Photography
In this episode of the podcast, I share my most effective tips for staying motivated, drawn from my personal experiences in the field. You'll learn how to start fresh by decluttering your past work, capture the beauty in everyday moments, and embrace spontaneity in your photography. By the end, you'll be inspired to adopt new habits that will not only keep your passion for photography alive but also help you refine your unique style.
THE BIG IDEAS
- Capture the Mundane: Embrace daily photography by snapping pictures of everyday items to enhance creativity and sharpen your photographic eye.
- Start Fresh: Create a new folder for your photos to organize and declutter, letting you focus on fresh creativity without the burden of past projects.
- Shoot Aimlessly: Allow yourself to take photos without any specific goal. This can unlock new creative avenues and rekindle your love for the craft.
- Consume Less, Create More: Reduce time on digital platforms and dedicate more energy to creating original content. This focus on creation over consumption nurtures artistic growth.
PHOTOGRAPHY ACTION PLAN
- Organize Your Work: Create a new folder on your computer to sort your most recent photos. Review and delete any photos that no longer inspire you, keeping only the best to build upon.
- Daily Photography Practice: Set aside 10 minutes each day to photograph mundane objects around you. Experiment with different angles and lighting to explore your creative boundaries.
- Go on a Photo Walk: Plan a walk without a specific route and take your camera along. Capture at least five interesting subjects that catch your eye along the way.
- Focus on JPEG Shooting: Switch your camera settings to JPEG for personal projects to save time on edits. Use this opportunity to explore in-camera settings like color profiles and film simulations.
- Share via Email: Choose a set of your recent photos and share them via email with friends or family. Reflect on the feedback you receive and consider how it can guide your next photography project.
