**Long post warning** but please read 💙
Regretfully, I have decided to take a step back from certain areas of photography. I have always put my whole heart into capturing photos, and while it still brings me joy, there have been many occurrences over this past year that have led me to this decision.
Unfortunately, a lot of this has to do with other photographers. I am not competitive, nor am I the type of person who thinks too highly of myself. (I’m fine, not boasty about things) I do think my photos are beautiful, but I am incredibly tired at this point. Tired and disappointed by the actions of others.
I am the type of photographer to take a beautiful photo of someone I pass on the street just so I can give them that photo for free. It has never been about money, and I would never go behind another photographer’s back to try to make myself look better or try to “steal” business. I also would NEVER try to scam anyone or mislead them about what they are paying for.
I’m incredibly grateful for each and every person who has given me the opportunity to create art with them. I’m grateful for those of you who never sought to take advantage of me. Thank you all for the support you’ve given over the past couple of years.
My photography journey doesn’t end here, but it will be shifting back to what I enjoy, which is photos of nature and things. Not so much people. Again, thank you all so much for supporting me. I have realized that I’m simply not a “cut-throat” type of personality as many fellow photographers seem to be.
While it makes me really sad to have to post something like this, I also hope you can understand the incredible amount of torment the photography scene can inflict on good photographers in the industry. Catch you all on the flip side. Take care, and be good.
Enjoy this photo that brings ME joy.
