Remember photography is an ART and like any artist you will constantly revisit your piece and rework it depending on your mood, perspective, inspiration and experriences ;)

i just can’t agree more with every word that you’ve written!!!
i don’t consider myself as a photographer, i just like to take nice pictures to ilustrate my lifestyle :)
but i just catch myself comparing my photos with some of my favourite photographers (including you, btw ^_^) and i keep thinking “i must give up!!! i’ll never be good as they are”
i’m trying to not to do this.. but it’s hard :/
i’m still trying to find my way on photography, but it is tooo hard
i have no confidence at all… this is sad, but it’s true :(

Thanks for this Ms. Beadon!!!!! You chose a perfect time to post this!! I can’t even remember the last time I shot anything for “fun”…not sure what that means exactly…hahaha…as much fun as I truly do have shooting always, I haven’t done anything for me in a really, really long time. Amazing advice all around!!!

Hi Alex!

I been struggling a lot lately with confidence in my work which makes me lack motivation a whole bunch. So I been slacking so much with photography. It’s making me sorta down lately actually. I am very glad I caught the link to this blog post on facebook. I was really needing some advice from other photographers. After being inspired by this blog post, I took it upon myself to read a lot of your other blog posts. You’re work is absolutely beautiful and you seem to be an intelligent young lady and photographer. I saw that you were into marketing and branding… putting my photography out there more is one thing that is most def on my photography bucket list and I feel like it’s way over due that I start knocking this one out. Any advice to a fellow photographer? I’m sure you’re a busy gal, but if you ever have any spare time and would be oh so kind to shoot me an email or write a blog post on advice on how to put your work out there more and get more fans, and make your dreams come true.. that would be amazing :) Thanks for your time on reading my comment!! Have a splendid day!

Thank you for posting this. I just wrote down 5 things on my “photography bucket list” that I’d like to accomplish this month. I will be renting an 85mm lens to play with next week – can’t wait to mess around with it. I also love love the advice about talking to yourself the way you’d talk to your best friend. I can be so hard on myself! Keep up the good work – I am enjoying your posts a great deal.
