Why is imposter syndrome prevalent in mobile photographers?

I experience imposter syndrome too

History of the term imposter syndrome

16 tips to help reduce that imposter syndrome thinking


You are not alone - it is not shameful
Feelings are not facts
Welcome help from others
Address knowledge gaps
Stop playing the comparison game
Recognise your achievements
Perfectionism is ok
Not being the best is ok
Feedback can affect your self-confidence
We are all bias
Take pride in being a photographer
Be confident in your abilities
Use social media moderately
It’s a passion not a career
Reframe the negative narrative
Fake it til you make it

Join Leslie as we talk about colour... how to capture accurate color, edit color and how to use it creatively. 

Color is such a huge topic. It was an absolute pleasure to break it down a bit and talk about the challenges and joys of working with color. If you watch the YT version, I also demonstrate how quickly you can do advanced color correction in Lightroom mobile.

Join Jo as she discusses her new book Smart Phone Smart Photo Editing. We will explore why she chose Snapseed as the app to break down the tools and provide many varied example editing workflows. During our conversation, we talked about why photo editing is an important skill and the  'visual divide' between what you and the camera sees and matching your photo intention. We also talked about the editing process used in a couple of Jo's examples.  This was a fun interview.
