Your Photos Suck And Here's Why

Martin Wong · Nov 23, 2019

Key takeaways

Every photographer doubts themselves. I struggle with it every week (from 0:00).
Compare with your past self. Track progress against what you made before (from 1:00).
Starting out bad is normal. Like bands that start in a garage (from 1:00).
Use others as inspiration. Ask: do I like this photo, and do I want to recreate it? (from 2:00).
Keep practicing. Make your own inspiration (from 3:00).

“Your photos suck and you should just quit being a photographer.”

That is actually what every photographer tell themselves all the time, just in different variations. I also struggle with that idea every week, but I found some ways to help me break out of a creative block and hopefully it would work for you too.
