Heyoo guys. I have an soul roblem. I fell like i m still bad at photography. I took over 10k photos with a Sony a6000 in 1 year and only few of them are “good”. I can t get out of this felling. I just began a photography course in my town, but i still don t think my photos are good enough. I allways wonder about time spent for over 10k, more precise 11 243 shots. And i look at other photographers having only 4-5k photos taken and their photos being so good. I just don t know what to do, i am stucked in this loop…Any advices?
1 Don’t compare yourself to anyone else. You aren’t them. They aren’t you. If you’re doing photography to copy someone else then what’s the point?
2 compare yourself to yourself, go back and look at your first few hundred shots and you’ll feel way better about yourself. I routinely scroll through photos that are a decade old and think “WTF was I doing with this shot/edit” and will sometimes touch stuff up for fun to see how far I’ve come/how much my style has progressed.
Keep at it, the more you do the better you get, having a plan can really help me when I’m in a ‘there’s nothing to shoot’ mood. Literally just got in the truck and drove hours to a mountain last weekend just to shoot leaves. Break the cycle. See you after your next 10k photos!
