You’re making good photographs. Your clients are happy. So why are you bored with your own work?
In this episode of Cowgirls with Cameras, we’re talking about what happens when the reliable routines that help you get the job done start leaving you creatively stuck. We share ways to interrupt that cycle, including changing how you photograph a familiar scene and giving yourself one specific challenge that gets you thinking beyond your usual shots.
We also explore why trying to make every photograph “good” can keep you from making anything different, and how play and a little rule-breaking can make photography enjoyable again. Sometimes inspiration catches up once you get moving. Other times, you don’t need to push harder. You need a nap.
If you’ve been waiting to feel excited about picking up your camera again, this conversation offers a place to start. And permission to question whether the work you’ve always done is still the work you want to do.
