For the longest time, my struggle used to be trying to compete with everyone else š. Thereās so much talent šø in this town š, and I wanted to stand out š„ and find a way to be noticed without copying anyoneās style.
Iād compete with who I saw was great in the photo community š· at the time. It helped me push myself to produce something of better quality ā¤, but in the end, I realized thatās not what I wanted to do anymore. Itās really not a competition š¤¼š½āāļø. Itās just a form of expressing yourself š¤ and sharing with othersā£. I saw myself grow and evolve in my mindset. I really didnāt wanna be better than anyone else. Or even stand out as being great at all.
I wanted to have fun š, and try new things. I wanted to push myself mentally and use my camera to help capture the process.
My biggest struggle right now? Is pushing myself to stay as creative š§ as possible, and to keep myself content with my own material. Maybe I can show everyone else who is also starting out, too afraid š± to start, or needs motivation to begin... itās not about fitting in or being as good as someone you look up to. Itās about contributing your piece to this community š. We all have a story and vision to share. It ALL deserves to be shared and admired. You never know; someone may be looking up to you too š¤·āāļø
