    These 5 photography mindsets and tips have really helped me and my photography process, therefore I wanted to share them today in the hopes they might help other photographers, wether you're a beginner, a long term hobbiest or a full on professional. I say it a but keeping photography fun can be quite a challenge, maybe you're feeling a bit uninspired with photography, or you seem to be chasing a goal that never has any clear milestones or end points. This video and these mindsets, should help you avoid burnout, photographers block, and the general feeling of frustration. Photography is one of the best hobbies in the world (I'm biased of course) but sometimes remembering, or incorporating a small mindset like these ones, can take it from something you get annoyed at, to a fun hobby that lasts you a lifetime!

    When you said "Leisure guilt", I felt that. FOMO is definitely something I have to work on in order not to feel guilty when I'm not out taking photos. I also like your last point you make where you say "you don't always have to create art every day to be considered an artist". Love that mentality, thank you 😊

    "Being trampled by cows and being left for nobody to find me". 😂 These are just going from strength to strength, mate. Cracking stuff as usual, shame about the ruins situation. Definitely worth another visit.

    That 'Leisure Guilt' thing you talked about is a biggy for me. I feel like I need to be productive and creative all the time. Take today for example. I wanted so much to go out with my camera, but I feel so tired, that I just can't. I need to rest, but I still feel frustrated that I stuck at home 'resting'!

    • @DISTANTMEDIA
      @DISTANTMEDIA  Před 3 měsíci +2

      I hear you mate it’s a real struggle isn’t it! Even if I have a hour I feel like I have to fill it with a productive creative task.. keep telling yourself a rest is just as productive because you come back re charged and re inspired after a rest! 🙌

    Thanks so much for the advice Greg! I often find myself thinking that "I should have gone out shooting today" and then I quickly release myself from that and I go out on my own whim. This keeps me enjoying shooting. My recent trip to the Smoky Mountains found me snapping lots of images and I then posted a video of the trip. I haven't posted a video in quite some time, but this one was fun. Thanks again for your advice.

      @@DISTANTMEDIA LOL!!! It was pretty grey there for most of the trip. I did get a couple of good shots of a coyote through the leaves. You guys have things that I would love to shoot in the same way that we have things that you guys would love to shoot. I'm guessing that the grass just seems greener on the other side.

    A good episode Greg. Lots of good points put forward. There is a lot of Bollocks talked on you tube for sure, about doing things this way and that way. However if you do that, you'll end up with photographs that are done to please someone else's ideals. Art is subjective, photography is Art (The RA says so). Constable painted in a boring way IMO, but Turner was the man. Be true to yourself, learn your craft then get out of the bloody box, because creativity rocks.

    • @DISTANTMEDIA

      Exactly mate, does your photography have any life left in it, if you have taken photos based off of how somebody else told you to take them. Probably not a lot haha. -- Enjoying your feedback on the videos mate, thanks for taking the time out of your days to watch through them!!
