486: How I Beat Burn Out as a Photographer
Manage episode 432760996 series 1317199
In this episode of the Beginner Photography Podcast, I talk about my experience getting out of the often-overlooked topic of burnout, sharing my personal experiences and 3 step process to reigniting my creative spark. We'll explore a three-phase process to help you rediscover your passion for photography, including shooting more, seeking inspiration, and thematic storytelling. I'll also share a valuable exercises to learning how to tell stories with your camera, like using an Instax camera. Join me in our revamped Facebook group for ongoing support from our vibrant community of photo friends!
The Big Ideas:
- Explore Diverse Subjects: Experimenting with various photography genres can help spark creativity and prevent burnout.
- Limit Social Media Inspiration: Relying on platforms like Flickr or photo books can lead to more genuine creativity than endless scrolling.
- Tell Stories with Photos: Embrace longer-form storytelling through multiple images to add depth to your subjects.
- "Plork": Combine play and work in your photography practice to keep it fun and educational.
Photography Action Plan
- Shoot More Frequently: Set aside specific times each week to photograph anything that catches your interest. Keep your camera handy during daily activities to capture spontaneous moments.
- Seek New Inspirations: Visit platforms like Flickr and explore historical photo groups for fresh ideas. Borrow or buy photography books that excite you and study them.
- Embrace Storytelling: Choose a simple story idea and capture it through 5-10 cohesive images. Use an instant or film camera to challenge yourself with a limited number of shots.
- Join Photography Challenges: Participate in the newly introduced monthly photo challenges within the Beginner Photography Podcast Facebook group. Follow the theme of the month (e.g., summer) to structure your creative efforts and win prizes.
- Recommit to Learning: Dive deeper into a specific genre of photography that piques your interest (e.g., food or landscape photography). Attend online workshops or watch video tutorials to refine your techniques and broaden your skillset.
