-
- Entrepreneurship
We are kicking things back off this year with a solo pod, recapping 2021. Recovering what was a crazy and difficult year for creatives, some highlights from the conversations with fellow photographers both on and off the pod. So kick back with your notepad, ready to storm 2022.
What I talk about
Finding your own personal style and creativity
To stand out from the crowd you need to stop trying to fit in
Curate your work to curate the work you want to shoot
You can’t cheat time to build style and skill
Being easier on yourself as a new photographer
Stop comparing yourself to other photographers
Habits throughout your day outside of your business are directly mirrored in your business
The power of unplugging and active movement
Reducing distractions from your own mind
Pivoting your business - how to move forward and adapt
What’s next for Feather & Finch
Look to the future and map out where you want to be
Invest in yourself and invest in your business
My biggest takeaway of 2021
2021 was a massive wake up call for many photographers. What it highlighted to me is the value and essential nature of investing in yourself. A shiny new lens or laptop might give you a momentary one up in your everyday working, but getting a mentor, taking time off, going on holiday with your family, going to a workshop have life-long benefits. No matter how challenging the photography climate gets if you are strong individually nothing can hold you back.
