In this episode, we tackle modern photography's challenges, highlighting how social media often values lifestyle over true artistry, threatening the human touch. We debunk the myth that success requires leaving stable jobs, emphasizing excellence is possible with a traditional life. We also explore if conventional living could outshine bohemian trends and reflect on photography's bittersweet push to commercialize personal moments. Finally, we question the value of investing in platforms like Instagram, where effort doesn't always equal success.
Expect to learn:
- how pressure to serve algorithms overshadow genuine artistic expression
- why leaving a stable career is not necessary for success in photography
- how conventional living is the new counterculture to trendy bohemian life
- how to deal with commercializing personal moments
- the disconnect between effort and success on Instagram
