Creative Photography Rut? Here's the Solution (Free Resources)

If you have turned your passionate photography hobby into an income stream, you might find yourself a little less inclined to pull out the camera ‘just to be creative’ or maybe you just don’t have time and creative photography shoots get put on the backburner. Alternatively, when you get pretty good at a photographing technique (like your kids’ portraits for example), you may find yourself a little bored of doing the ‘same old same old’.

This is what we call a Creative Photography Rut.

Photography projects and shooting “just for me” is a way I balance myself, to remind myself of my “why” or just to re-ignite my passion for photography.

So in this week’s video, I am sharing three ways that I have managed to get myself out creative photography ruts in the past to give you some inspiration! Watch it even with the sound down to see the photos!
