In this video I cover the harsh reality and realization that the only person who really cares about your work is yourself. That if you stopped or started taking photos, it really wouldn't have much impact on anyone else but you. While that can sound a bit too brutal, once you realize this it's honestly such a relief. No one cares about your photography and it's actually a really good thing because it means you have the freedom to do whatever it is that makes you happy.
As nature and landscape photographers, we don't really have any clients when it comes to our work. We have no deliverables and there are no expectations set by anyone... except ourself. Thus its really important to fulfill our own needs and make sure we are finding fulfillment in our work. Once that's accomplished you can start figuring out how you want to share your work with others.
By the end of the video I dive into how we can make people actually care about our photographs. Not just grab their attention but actually CARE about a photo. The easiest way is to capture someone with a story either through the work itself or about your own journey. I cover it all in this video.
