Comparison kicks my butt sometimes. I can feel so good about where I am in my photography but scroll through social media for just 10 mins and end up feeling like my work is absolute garbage… compared to every other photographers work out there 🤦🏻♀️
I remember shooting my first wedding, going home and looking through all the photos and thinking, “will I ever take a photo and think, wow, now that’s some art?” Instead of what I felt I was producing at the time.
I don’t know if I’ll ever feel like I’ve totally arrived, but I’m pretty proud of how far I’ve come. This year I learned so much about myself as an artist, about my value, charging what I’m worth, about photography… about my long term dreams and goals. When I compare my work to that of what I was creating 8 years ago, I’m so proud of myself. Content enough to not slam every picture I take but unsettled enough to keep that flame of learning more still burning bright. Excited for what 2022 will bring in the world of growing and doing more of what I love ☺️
And for what it’s worth, I do look at this photo and think “now that’s some good art!” 😜
