CREATIVE BURNOUT

From the moment I first picked up a camera I didn’t realize the journey it would bring me on and how much it would shape me and my personality. When I realized I could monetize it, my younger self started shooting as much as I could with as many people as I could. Over time I came to realize that slowly but surely my photography felt more like work for me and wasn’t just a fun hobby I was monetizing.

However by this time I felt so into photography that I couldn’t quit so I did what anyone would do, I bought new gear to reignite my “spark” but it didn’t really do any of that. I kept on pushing myself hoping it would make me feel the creative spark again, but then it hit me. I just needed a break from it all.

So I did just that and over time the feelings came back for photography. Over my recent winter break I went to Mexico once again and visited some friends and made some new ones. Over time I came to realize that surrounding yourself with good people and good company can help inspire you to possibly want to take photos again. Even though I didn’t take many photos I still feel as though it helped reset my creative journey and I’m back on track. I did bring my film camera though so be on the lookout for those photos!

I’m currently in the process of revamping my work and my portfolio so I can become a better photographer and sustainable create a career off of one of my biggest passions. However though I haven’t been slacking so here is one of the most recent videos I’ve created in the past couple of months!
