I’m glad a lot of you are interacting with this - it was meant to discuss a common feeling among professional and hobbyist alike but the toxicity of the pretend professionals is what ruins photography. To everyone saying a professional doesn’t get burnt out - they do. I do. I’ve talked to many full time that do. Stop making things up ESPECIALLY the amount of work you do. To those who keep saying you blame RUclips or RUclipsrs - that sounds like jealousy. Get people out of your head and focus on you and stop obsessing about someone who doesn’t even know you exist it’s weird. To those struggling with burnout because of depression or anxiety. You’re seen and we feel you; it’s tough when the one outlet turns into a burden and you have to reset. But it gets better.
Sometimes nothing works on my photo walk and I feel like the worst photographer in the world. And another day I shoot one good photo after another and I feel like I should get paid for my work.
Two hours ago I came home from my Photo walk feeling refreshed. I have been exploring my hilltop neighborhood for the last 10 years with digital (color) and black and white (film). My hill has a radius of 1 mile. I average 2-3 walks a week and shoot 1-2 rolls of film with each walk. At the end of this year I will select my favorite images and design and publish a 13"×11" monograph with 180 pages. Then I will spend the next 10 years working on Volume 2, only this will be shot with 6x6, 6×9 and 6x17cm film cameras. Do I ever get bored? Hell no! I've been shooting for 50 years. You only get bored when you are young and lack imagination. You have to kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight. Keep kicking!📷👍
I think it's the financial incentive. Photography isn't my work. Every image on my Flickr is listed as having no copyright, anyone can use them for anything. I don't care. I have a job, I do photography for me. If some one doesn't like my work, I don't care I took and edited the photos for me.
I think you can have the exact same feeling and still get paid. I don’t care about anyone not liking my work because I like it. But if someone is gonna throw me $3K for a day rate - I’m going to take it. Sometimes at a detriment but it’s not a lifelong rut.
I am not a professional but with a full time job and kids I often get burned out trying to just find time to manage the photos I already took. I get so far behind with that it starts to make me feel "what's the point".
I really like the color grading on this video - it looks vintage. I have found the same periods of not wanting to use my cameras too. Thanks for sharing this.
I find photography to be a hobby more as something you should get paid for. Photography is art and in art your work gets recognized over time that passes. Viewing photography as a job in payment makes you feel like you’re trying to hard. When you view photography as a hobby you understand the value of the photos you produce. Some will be bad and some will be good but you never feel the need to always shoot really good photos because you don’t need money from it.
One thing I tell creatives when they feel burnt out on photography is to switch mediums. Try painting, or drawing, or music production for a while and then come back to photography when they can come back with a fresh set of eyes.
Great thoughts for sure. I have felt that way from time to time. But I often don’t feel like myself unless I have my camera on me. Regardless if they are bangers or just trash. I just shoot through the rut.
Burnout is real. Important message in this video. For me, I had to get a dayjob to fall back in love with my work in both photography and content. I couldn't create stuff I wanted with the pressure of having to provide for my family with my photos and content. Looking forward to connecting again soon!
I always love your thoughts on this sort of thing - usually very insightful. I'm terrible at pushing through any kind of creative block but I'm also kinda lucky, as my day to day work scratches my creative itch and has nothing to do with photography. Photography is a hobby rather than anything that demands any special interest above being creative. When I get burn out I just forget about my cameras and leave them alone for whatever period of time is needed. Ultimately this means that the next time I pick up my gear I get that buzz, that desire to produce something interesting. Works for me but I guess not everyone can just ignore their cameras like that!
I’m in the same boat. I have a full time job outside of cameras. I don’t think I’ll ever go full time again - it allows me to separate myself and acts as a buffer of sorts.
This resonated so hard with me. I can't tell you how many times I've gone from hating certain images I've taken to realizing I love the shit out of them down the road. Photos I thought were a write off and others think they're some of my best work. Really fantastic topic you covered in this vid. Solid work mate
Many years ago I decided to remain an amateur photographer and just do it for fun. The business side of professional photography took all of the fun out of it for me. Since then I've enjoyed every minute of it.
Wow, there was a lot here and it felt like it was really from the heart. I’ve never hit a golf ball in my life in a way that made me happy, but I think your analogy is correct. Little successes can be big motivators. I don’t know what made you feel like you wanted to give it all up, but I can relate to the feeling of just taking pictures for the joy of it with no pressure. I hope you get to wherever you are going. I’ve enjoyed your content (when the algorithmic gods offer it to me).
Honestly I think mental illness and artistic work go hand in hand. At this point, I don’t freak out when I’m numb and burned out, I just know the “valley of vision” will pass eventually. Then climbing the mountain and peaking happens. And then again the valley. Then repeat. And lots of “shit” I shot in the valleys eventually became my favorites…. after enough time passed. If you can expect this painful psychotic cycle, it’s not as bad. 😘
Its fucking crazy to hear this because all of this heavily applies to my life and what I do for a living. I came because photography is new to me and my way to relax and get out of my head and enjoy hearing others info on it- and this shit tied me right in. Spot on.
I love the diversity of topics you explore with us. As an information professional in academia, still photography is my main creative outlet. That is to say that I’m a hobbyist, but like others I too have gone through periods of burnout despite only starting my photographic journey back in March 2023! I fully expect this will be a consistent part of the journey as I grow, and develop while hitting road blocks along the way.
I needed to hear/see this SO MUCH today. sometimes when I am doing too much paid work in a row I start to accidentally people please and shoot/edit safe over how I actually want to freaking shoot/edit and then I deliver and hate my work and then its just a rollercoaster.
You are so right the funk is real. I hate when I have those days when I feel like everything I am doing is crap and question why do I even do it. However, all it takes is that one image or moment that makes you reconsider how much you do not suck. Give yourself some grace and you will feel so much better in this crazy game. I hope I remember that in a couple of days when I am in a funk again.
I don't delete because I know that later on I'll have learned something new, improved my processing skills or been exposed to a photographer who opens up new horizons. I think it's necessary to stop sometimes as creativity is like old-time agriculture, it's important to let the field lay fallow, regain its nutrients and strength.
Take the photo. Let it be. Let it exist as it is. Use any negative thoughts to pause and reflect reflect and not delete or quit. Hope this helps someone. Great video premise.
I started to shoot my personal stuff in JPGs, because I like the imperfections personally, then it's harder to do client work, cause people learned from me they can expect to look the certain way, and I started to hate being PS surgeon. Well it's like you say, the less expectations I have of work I do, the more fun it is, but it's hard to find balance in it, cause you could go complete opposite way, expect nothing at all, and then it's also pointless then xD
As someone who puts on car meets for guys to socialise, and sometimes gets close to burnout and can't be bothered to take my camera, I can tell you these are all real feelings. The great thing here is that you know what's happening and you are talking to people about it. Hopefully others here will realise what they are going through is not uncommon.
So many people have asked me to turn pro……but I just like to do it when I’m in the mood not from a phone call. Even so as a hobbyist one has to really think differently than the usual habit of thinking in order to see things differently.
Many people try to make a living at something they have little or no knowledge talent at...I have always had a career other than Photography...mainly cause I was not confident enough to have it as my sole income...Probably 70 percent of todays RUclips folks should keep it as a hobby or part time not a forced habit....I have been into photography since the late 60's...I had classes in Photography... Journalism...Yearbook...offset printing...metal shop...wood shop...chemistry...etc...all contributed in one way or another to my love for photography... 24 years of Military helped a lot as well...I am now retired and living in Bangkok... At nearly 71 + years young...I still enjoy occasional studio work and street shooting etc. Cheers
What does being on RUclips have to do with it? I sincerely don’t understand why you all keep bringing it up. Most RUclipsrs are paid to work on photo assignments. Lots of people suffer from burnout from different things in life. Even Joel Meyerowitz has spoke to it. Most RUclipsr folk are better than more people leaving these kind of comments. Let people feel what they feel. This video was to discuss a common feeling among professional and hobbyist. Not to draw elitist bull crap.
Photography for myself is a compulsion, not a goal. I worked as a professional photographer and supported my family for a couple of years, and ever since then, quitting my day job is no longer my goal. If anything, it taught me to keep my personal goals separate and/or sacred from what I do for money.
@@DeeRosa So people who click your videos because of your titles and thumbnails (your supposed fans) are sheep? Honestly I respect you more for admitting it. Hey, I don't blame coca cola at all for making their product addictive!
@@ArrivingElsewherewhat’s crazier is people who click it, leave comments, don’t click off and then come back for another comment. This is actually how I gain momentum. Not from just a single initial click. It’s the people who leave comments that actually boost videos.
@@ArrivingElsewhere you expected me to respond how I respond and that inspired you? That’s one of the dumbest passive aggressive lines I’ve ever heard.
I love the slow burn... It's hard. I love it, love documenteray style of my shoots and finding my style. I don't care what others are doing or using anymore. Just do your thing, you are many things not one thing and shit changes. That's cool. Lone the videos man and what you're always saying. Keeping it real.
I honestly have never felt this way. I always find a way to stay inspired. I get it though that’s why I do it for a passion and not for the Social ladder. San Antonio will do that to you. 😂. Hope you get there.
this is genius, one really has go through so much to just get one good shot, remember you cannot make art bend to you , you must bend to the art and let it show you what is
@@DeeRosa I have done a lot of painting poetry and photography,all the works that look the best are the ones where the muse showed you the way you cannot bend the work to do your bidding instead you get access to the idea image whatever to create what the muse shows you
Hey Dee how’s it going , funny enough I’m from south texas to Rio grande valley to be exact. However I’m reaching out to you because I’m about to purchase my first Fuji camera and the two I’ve landed on are the xs20 and the xt5 but I’m not sure which one to choose between. I definitely like the two because they are sort of hybrids but I just can’t decide and was wondering if you could help 🙏🏽
Yup! I've played a few musical instruments both in school bands and rock bands. Guitar can be quite an ego killer! LOL! As for photography, it's a roller coaster ride like you said. Sometimes you like your images sometimes they're just meh, sometimes they suck. But, it's still fun walking around and seeing things. Take care Dee...
I have been doing photography for over 35 years as a hobby..In my little town the market is suddenly over saturated with "professional" photographers...which is why I will continue this obsession as a hobby...
I have been shooting pictures for fifty something years, longer than most people watching yoj, and never have I gotten frustrated or annoyed. It has been fun, even when I made “bad” photos. I have lost or destroyed many cameras but never quit. I don’t care whether or not people like my work, but they mostly love it. I always have a camera with me. I am always looking at my environment, enjoying it, immersing myself in it; seeing things that others miss. It is a blessing this way and digital photography is the best thing that ever happened to photography.

Don't EVER see your photography as a "hobby". It's either your passion or it's nothing. "Oh, it just a hobby" is poison to your relationship with your camera. It's like saying, "oh, she's just a girlfriend". A "girlfriend" has no commitment from you and therefore no future. A "hobby" has no commitment from you, and therefore no future.
Hey man! Just checked it out! Don’t ever solicit to me again! Think it’s super lame and your email pitch is really bad and makes it look like an obvious grift! Thanks!
Here is a 3 step method to solving your problem 1- Shut down your RUclips channel. 2 - spread out your photo equipment and clean it, and then get rid of what you don't absolutely need. 3 - Stop listening RUclipsrs and looking at other peoples photos. Good luck to ya'.
@@randallpage8402 no I don’t need your advice. People who’ve done nothing speaking to someone else about an experience they don’t understand usually are talking out of their ass. I hope you figure your steps out.
@@DeeRosa Because I watch equipment reviews, RUclips gifts me with links to channels like yours. 99% are roughly the visual equivalent of mediocre cover bands. That is quite common in the visual arts these day. Your video popped up and I gave you a shot. You yammered on at length about your frustrations. I offered you a simple way to purge them. Don't worry, I won't be back ... :)

That is quite common in the visual arts these day. Your video popped up and I gave you a shot. You yammered on at length about your frustrations. I offered you a simple way to purge them. Don't worry, I won't be back ... :)
@@randallpage8402 what did any of that have to do with you being a do nothing person talking out of your ass. Thank you for the dissertation.
