Personal Style and Personal Creativity as a Photographer

05/29/20 • 51 min

As a photographer, where is the line between using photography for a healthy business income and obsessing over the business side of things to the point where all creativity has been killed? Do our own "personal styles" actually matter if we are trying to sell a product? What if our style is actually a lack of skill that we disguise with the term "unique style". And do these questions as a photographer ever end?

These insecurities are common for many photographers. Joe is one of them and apparently, Chris leans toward the more relaxed, just-enjoy-the-moment side of photography. Creativity is the main focus on this show and that can lead to some deeper discussions.

Killer Bees and Broken Legs

Smartphones have added a myriad of new tools and capabilities to a photographers arsenal. With apps to help you time light and plan shoots, a smartphone can do a lot of the work for you on a shoot. Although smartphones' cameras have come a long way in recent years, they still aren't to DSLR quality. At least in our opinion. Furthermore, there is the consistent access to social media. Is it good or bad for creativity as a photographer?

Also, Joe is scared of bees.
