Always Continue Mastering Your Craft
Well, I have shirked my blog writing responsibilities, haven't I? Forgive me as I try to get a bit more consistent in my musings.
Today I wanted to touch upon the importance of continually developing and growing in your craft.
As a creative photographer, I just adore shooting. I could carry a camera 24-7. My iPhone is constantly filling up my phone's storage. I see a photo in everyone and everything. Yep, I'm a nut! But it's embedded in my DNA. And because of all this, I know that THIS is my life purpose.
Over the years I've attended photography trade shows, weekends filled with seminars & speakers offering me countless lessons on growing my photography business. I've watched endless hours of online courses to develop my skill-set. Though all this work in advancing myself has been valuable and I've had fun doing it, I still return to the thing that gets me the most jazzed about photography, and that is going out with a group of other photographers and practicing my craft. Testing new angles, new lighting ideas, new editing techniques. THAT is my sweet spot!
I believe you should always be striving to be a better you. Continue to master your craft. Explore new techniques or ideas that will grow you and push you to excel in your field.
Below are some examples that I did recently with the Tampa Modeling Photography group at the University of Tampa. I was fortunate enough to win 'top photograph' during my first meet up with the group! I hope you enjoy them!
