When photography is our main means of survival, work can become a burden that in some way takes us away from what aroused the passion for art in the beginning. However, the passion for photography is necessary to continue growing as creators and maintaining a unique look at this art. Here are some tips that may lead you to find a balance between work and lasting passion.
The photo break
After working in photography for several years, many times it seems that the work is locked into a routine and our gaze begins to blind. That’s whyIt is important to take breaks from time to time to rest your mind and renew your gaze.
In this break, you can take a break and simply devote your mind to other activities. Some sports, video games or just lying on the ground to see the sky or the roof of the house. In this way, the dispersion of the mind lightens the burden that the photographic routine generates on it.
This occlusion occurs because we are hovering with a single glance and we fall into an automation of our flow. To avoid these relapses it is good to give yourself days in the week for breaks; diversify stocks and experiment with new elements.
Have two looks
Is my job to take product photos all the time? I only hang out at events and am I tired of people? Then, Why not have a photography branch as a separate hobby?
Diversifying the look helps to clear the routine and flows. It’s a great way to experiment with styles and gain new inspiration from your work routine. Likewise, it helps us to continue developing our technique while we continue taking pictures out of passion.
Especially the great thing about exploring multiple paths in photography is that allows us to see the world from other perspectives. This usually brings ideas to the workbench and allows for a deeper conceptualization when doing work in our specialty.
Have a clear goal
On the contrary, there are photographers who aim everywhere, which generates an inconsistent rhythm in the work. In addition to this, this usually leads to our clients not paying us a lot., the change of requirements and energy that must be put in an event is not the same that should be put in a product or the same that is put in architectural photography.
Every style and every job deserves energy and dedication. And it is necessary to specialize in a niche in order to develop it and be those photographers that clients in that field want to have by their side. developing a technique and a special energy for it.
Sometimes boredom and tiredness come from doing many things at the same time. And this makes the mind cloud much faster.
