318: 10 Tips for Staying Motivated as a Photographer

I have not picked up my camera in more than a month and now that
lack of momentum has stopped me from continuing to shoot. Thats
unacceptable if I wish to become the type of photographer I want
to be. 


So in this episode I share 10 motivational photography tips to
help you (and me) to pick back up the camera and get to
work!



#1: You dont live in a magical location. Get over it


#2: Give yourself permission to shoot aimlessly with no
end goal


#3: Start fresh with a new folder on your computer of the
photographer who you are now


#4: Capture the mundane parts of everyday life (Start
every day taking a photo of your coffee)


#5: Shoot in JPG to remove the burden of having to edit
your photos after you shoot


#6: Go for a walk. The more youre out, the more youll see
interesting things to capture. 


#7: Consume less, Create more. Delete Instagram and
Facebook off your phone. Share your photos with CloudSpot.io -

#8: Listen to music when shooting to distract your brain
while you focus on photography. I listen to Lush Lofi and Brain
Food playlists on Spotify


#9: Set your camera to shoot in Black and White rather
than edit the photo later. This will help you to see better
compositions and focus on moment.


#10: If you have multiple cameras, sell one and buy a
photo book. A photo book will inspire you to shoot in just 3-4
pages. Something scrolling instagram for an hour cant even
do.
