    TM - 06 - Breaking Out of a Photography Rut

    In this Trail Marker episode of Shutter Trails, Drake talks about something every photographer faces sooner or later — falling into a creative rut. When photography starts to feel repetitive, uninspiring, or more like a chore than an adventure, how do you rediscover that spark?

From shooting with friends and joining group outings to exploring completely different genres of photography, this episode focuses on reigniting creativity and making photography fun again. The conversation also dives into Drake’s recent experience trying motorsport photography for the first time — and how learning new techniques like panning has already influenced his landscape, wildlife, and street photography.
