The photographer who sat quietly in the room
I listened to other people speak with confidence, and somewhere inside, I decided they knew more than I did. They had more experience, more knowledge, perhaps more right to be there
Afraid of getting it wrong is more common than you think
I was self-taught. I didn’t have qualifications or letters after my name. And sometimes, standing among other photographers, I felt as though they had a right to be there that I hadn’t quite earned.
Will anyone else like it ?
You look at others photos and doubt your own, they don’t seem good anymore
The pressure to take a “good” photo
So we start to look at our life through that lens…do I look good enough? Is my home tidy enough ? Is this place pretty enough ?
