Manifesto Pt7 - The Only Photographer You Are In Competition With is Yourself

#394 In this episode of the Beginner Photography Podcast, we
delve into Photography Manifesto Rule #7: The Only Photographer
You Are In Competition With Is Yourself and the power of
embracing our own unique style. We explore the pitfalls of
seeking validation solely through social media engagement and the
importance of prioritizing personal growth over comparison to
others. From trying new techniques to stepping out of our comfort
zones, we learn that true progress comes from experimentation and
self-reflection. We discover the value of seeking feedback and
the opportunities for growth it brings. Join us as we break free
from external expectations, embrace our own creative journey, and
tap into the limitless potential that lies within us. Get ready
to expand your photography skills and capture the moments that
truly inspire you.

THE BIG IDEAS


Your Journey Is Unique: No one else shares your creative
path; comparing yourself to others stifles personal growth and
fulfillment.

Trends Fade, Vision Endures: Chasing popular styles may bring
temporary recognition, but lasting satisfaction and originality
come from developing your own approach.

Mistakes Fuel Progress: Each error or failed experiment
teaches you more about your craft—embrace these as vital learning
steps. 

Growth Is Personal: True improvement comes from outdoing your
past self, not by measuring against others; self-compassion and
patience are essential.
