Why Embracing Imperfection Leads To Happier Photographers
In a world that often values perfection, this video explores why embracing imperfection in your photography can lead to a more fulfilling experience. I discuss a "philosophy" of not chasing perfect images and how this approach, similar to, wabi sabi, can truly elevate your creative process. This mindset is key to becoming a happier and better photographer. The reality is, we learn far more from our bad photos than our good photos, so in order to improve, we have to make an revisit the photos we don't like.
