Clean water

Oh yeah that’s exactly what I mean. I love film but it’s not some magic wand that makes every image interesting

Right and like your iPhone is free. People really spent $$ on film, developing and scanning for objectively bad pictures

Acting like because it’s shot in film it’s art by default.

I got all my first clients from cold emailing but it was extremely well researched and targeted. Pretty sure my latest client was via word of mouth or possibly LinkedIn - they didn’t say lol

How to avoid burnout?

Not a business issue, a mental health issue. How’s your lifestyle? Eat/sleep/exercise well? Good nutrition? Underlying anxiety/depression?

You will never be 100% ready to start a business More is lost to indecision than wrong decision. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.

Gen z loves the Y2K aesthetic of old point and shoots and camcorders

Research and reach out to new clients until I get hired

I made the mistake of posting from an account that was easily traceable to my business and someone impersonated me, cloned my IG and attempted to scam potential clients. Scammers are so pathetic
