[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 331459, member: 1061"] You already know what you have to do. If you're feeling lost, the only solution is to find your way again. Don't do any jobs for awhile. Once you take the money element out of the equation, you can get back to what you really love to do with your camera. When you accept payment for your work, most of us feel a certain obligation to make images that the client wants. Other people's kids, weddings, families. Maybe they want a certain look, or saw something on Pinterest that they want you to re-create. That can get pretty boring, creatively. And the more you give in to it, the more pressure you feel to perform. It's like being a dancing monkey on a rope. Do the photography that YOU want to do. What makes YOU happy. Then once people are willing to accept (and pay for) the looks YOU want, then it's time to get back into the game again. [/QUOTE]
