This week’s podcast explores the distinction between knowledge and wisdom in photography, emphasizing the importance of experience and trusting yourself. My goal is to encourage you to step out of your comfort zone, trust your existing skills, and take action to explore your creativity to have more uniqueness in your work.
“Trust that you already know enough, trust that you already have the skills you need, and then take those steps to actually try it out and see what happens.”
Key Points
- Photographers often obsess over acquiring knowledge, believing that it alone will lead to success.
- Wisdom allows photographers to determine the relevance of information and its application in their own work.
- Trusting one’s own experience is crucial in developing wisdom and creating unique photographs.
- Wisdom helps photographers recognize when to apply knowledge and how to adapt it to their own artistic vision.
- Recognize that our unique perspectives are influenced by what we know and don’t know.
