Strange issue with me lately. I've taken some beautiful images over the past few years but lately I wonder why I take them at all. At the end of the day other than looking nice they hold little meaning for me. The photos of my family as they grow up or engage in activities hold meaning. They're important. I want to shoot those. It's all my other photos that I'm losing motivation to take. Photos of flowers are pretty. Buildings are interesting. But I can just go and google photos of these things if I want to see it. I'm losing interest in taking these photos and spending money on them as well. Why do you think this is? I used to love shooting a roll a week. Now I don't care half as much. How do you maintain motivation? How do you continue finding purpose in photography?
I know the feeling but it will vanish f you just keep shooting.Start making self assignments. My image making starts in my head during naps. That's were the image is created.after that, everything is just execution.strive to do the best you can do at every step so, you can be proud of the result.all artists hit a low once in awhile; it passes if you keep going. Keep looking at examples from the great names in photography; that will give you inspiration but don't copy; give it your own twist; start in your own neighbourhood and don't listen to negativity; true artist are self motivated and tell a story with their images all the best and post some!Strange issue with me lately.
