Staying True to Yourself: Visibility, Burnout, and Creative Voice with Erin Hensley

A Facebook post by Erin's Hensley sparked this episode (screenshot below). I brought Erin on to go deeper into her message. We don't all experience the same things and I recognize that. Still, if you've really wanted to be featured or published, and it's been a part of your flow: you shoot, get your stuff on your computer to polish, and go: "ok where can I submit this?" It's part of your process. 

You may not have ever recognized this: if you've felt influenced when you open up your laptop or cell phone when you see work of other photographers - a blend of conscious and sub-consciously you think things like:

I should try to shoot more like that / more in that light / in that location

I love how CLOSE these images are or how that photographer really pulled back

So then, you go out and try to shoot more like that rather than from your true self, then this episode is for you.

In this IDP ep, we cover:
