Don't Settle
"When you are full, you will not even eat honey. When you are hungry, even something bitter tastes sweet."
- Proverbs 27:7
Happy Monday!
I wanted to share some things that came to mind after reading the Proverb at the top.
​
The satisfaction we all desire to have as creatives is to:
- Do work we enjoy
- Work with our ideal clients/customers
- And make more than enough money to pay our bills (at least)
​
But also, as a human being, we feel the most fulfilled when serving other people.
​
Especially with the things we're good at.
​
Once you get to this point in your career, you'll turn down even high-paying projects if they don't satisfy you!
​
But when you're hungry for photography clients, you'll settle for cheap clients and projects you really don't want to take on.
​
So how do we become satisfied, fulfilled photographers (or creatives)?
Questions to reflect on:
What am I passionate about that I can combine with my love for photography?
What problems can I solve with my camera (or skill, talent, etc.)?
How bad do I want this?
Who do I want to help?
​
Your passion fuels your skills.
Specialize what you're good at.
Be a problem solver and offer more than "just photos."
Be ambitious and diligent in your pursuit for more in photography and life.
​
Talk soon,

P.S. I'll be expanding into broader topics than just photography moving forward. We'll talk about topics such as:
- Christ
- Content
- Creativity
- Consistency
I'm so excited!
