a post that’s long past due; a truth that’s been in my heart really since we moved to maine. i am no longer working as a “professional” photographer- whatever that means. i am no longer booking sessions or chasing clients or scheming up mini sessions. I’ve been at this work for nearly 2 decades, and i am ready to move on to something a bit more solid and steady. as i said to a friend the other day, not booking sessions and being paid for your work doesn’t mean you aren’t a photographer. That is a passion and a skill that no one can ever take away from you. I am still going to create and share my work; hopefully with you all, as well, but i don’t want to be a business owner any longer. Especially in an environment where at this point, i have just felt so jaded trying to be a professional photographer in a world where there is an over saturation of low priced photographers and AI quickly warping the art scene into something unnatural and unethical. I’m ready to just create for me, what makes my heart sing.
