I have a ton of respect for a few photographers up in the northern/north-west part of the country. They're talented, artistic, and...flawless. Their style and perfection is something I aspire to reach. However...as good as they are, memorizing every inch of their Instagram and website isn't helpful or beneficial. See, they've been blogging and shooting for years. They have a different level of photography equipment and a whole different level of skills and wisdom. I'm not on their level yet. And that's okay. I can't expect myself to be as good as the Michigan wedding photographer who seems to be traveling day and night for destination weddings. Or the guy who trecks through the mountains out west taking stunning wedding photos and occasionally catching a shot of a red fox. That's just not where I'm at yet...but I'll get there soon! It's okay to not be exactly where they are. And the important thing is to NOT get hung up on how your photography can't match theirs. They blazed their own trail and became the amazing photographer that they are today....with their own style and flawless Instagram page ;) The point is, do your own thing. Blaze your own trail. Cause they're doing theirs and people are loving it. And no one likes copy cats. So work hard on your own original style. Do what you love....and let it shine in your photos.
