As creative professionals, we (meaning every single professional photographer out there) reach a point where we become burned out. We have heavy loads, which means huge blessings, because we are super busy. We lose our direction and feel restless. So many of us have found ways to cope with this. But, have we really solved the problem, have we found something that we can go back to again and again that offers satisfaction? Or, better yet, have we kept what gives us satisfaction in the forefront of our lives, on a daily basis? Our work most definitely brings us great satisfaction, that's why we do what we do. I love photography. Aside from God and my family, my love for helping others and photography keeps my heart beating. If we are really honest with ourselves and our clients, we would admit that even though we 100% love what we do for a living, we can get burned out. I love helping others and photography, so how do these tie together. I am going to be putting together a workshop that will address the real issues of being burned out and help us find true satisfaction, actually consider it a retreat. At this point, I have no idea when I will be ready to lead this retreat for professional photographers, but I can guarantee that I will work on it. And, no, I am not just preaching to the choir.
Stay tuned for more details...
