Community Over Competition

It’s a change in mindset to see the world of wedding photography as a supportive, creative community rather than an industry filled to the brim with competitors. I compare myself to others. A LOT. Photography has sadly not been an exception to that. So, how do I change this?

Camp WannaKnowMore was a big step in that direction for me. Meeting so many gifted, unique and wonderful people brought about the realization that it’s important to celebrate the success and work of other photographers. I came away from camp with a desire to do more of this celebrating. That’s number 1 in the "how to change your mindset". Number 2 is to keep all the comparing that I do limited to my own work, continuously striving to better myself and take my art to the next level.
