Being a photographer takes the ability to handle a lot of pressure: the need to constantly bring your best abilities to a shoot, to always be able to innovate creatively, to juggle a wide range of skills needed to run a business, and a lot more. At the end of the day, though, are you remembering to enjoy your photography? This great video is a friendly reminder to take time to enjoy yourself.
Coming to you from Alister Benn with Expressive Photography, this excellent video discusses the importance of remembering to enjoy yourself in photography. No doubt, we all picked up a camera at first because we enjoyed the process and the creative aspect of it. However, often, as we progress and the hobby evolves into a profession, that enjoyment can get lost. And it is really a sad thing if we lose that, as though being a professional photographer is no doubt a tough thing that takes a strong person to do, unlike many other careers, everyone who goes into it does so because they are making a conscious choice to pursue something they love. So, don't forget to take a little time to yourself every once in a while and head out with your camera and no obligations or expectations. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Benn.
