WM-460: Using Adversity to Your Advantage | Photography Clips Podcast
Photography Clips
Certain things in life make the act of creation quite difficult. At times, adversity arises and makes it hard for us to power through and keep producing photographs. This could be any type of adversity. Maybe it’s a physical injury or ailment that makes it much harder for you to travel, hike, or carry your camera gear. It could also be mental or emotional adversity. Everything from depression to stressful life events like the loss of a job or even a loved one can take us out of the frame of mind to create artwork.

WM-459: Merciless | Photography Clips Podcast
Photography Clips
I think to be a creative kind of person, there is a certain level of mercilessness required. At least, if you want to be the type of creative person who learns and grows. And when I say mercilessness, I certainly don’t advocate being merciless toward others. Podcast Notes: Follow me: #PhotographyClips #WillMoneymaker #Photography

WM-458: Overcoming a Lack of Confidence in Your Photography | Photography Clips Podcast
Photography Clips
I’ve found that this is very true throughout my career. There are lots of reasons to be doubtful, reasons that, if you let them, will stop your creative pursuits before you get underway. It starts with the dive into photography itself. You may feel like you are not artistic enough to become an artist or the very thought of learning all of the things that you will one day need to know might seem overwhelming. Then, as you progress, it can be challenging to work up the courage to display your images, to ask for constructive criticism. Photos might languish in a folder on your computer simply...

WM-457: Don't Count on Second Chances | Photography Clips Podcast
Photography Clips
Second chances can be powerful, especially in places we think we know well. Revisiting familiar spots, where all the obvious photos have already been taken, presents a unique creative challenge. It pushes us to look deeper, finding fresh perspectives and capturing what’s truly unusual. That’s why I believe in going back to those well-trodden places—it’s an opportunity to see them in a new light. Podcast Notes: Follow me: #PhotographyClips #WillMoneymaker #Photography

WM-455: Letting Art Happen | Photography Clips Podcast
Photography Clips
Art always seems like such a planned event. It’s a production. We think about our ideas, we jot them down, we plan and plan for how we can take the perfect photograph. Then comes the day when we actually set out to take that photograph — that, too is a production. It’s often a long trip laid out on maps, organized through lists of gear that we check twice before we depart, and so on... Podcast Notes: Follow me: #PhotographyClips #WillMoneymaker #Photography

WM-454: Personal Aesthetics | Photography Clips Podcast
Photography Clips
We’ve all heard that old saying, “There’s no accounting for taste.” There’s so much truth to that. Tastes vary so much from one person to the next that no matter what, there is no one right answer that will satisfy absolutely everyone. That puts photographers in something of a conundrum. Of course, we want to produce photographs that people will love. But we can never guarantee that these images will be broadly loved because there’s just no accounting for taste.

WM-453: Forget about Gear | Photography Clips Podcast
Photography Clips
Gear wishlists. We all have them, and they’re often quite extensive. Filters, lenses, new camera bodies, lighting equipment, computers, and software — some of our wishlists are extensive! But is any of this stuff really necessary? Podcast Notes: Follow me: #PhotographyClips #WillMoneymaker #Photography

WM-452: Broadening Your Horizons | Photography Clips Podcast
Photography Clips
Something is interesting about photography that you may not have noticed before. And it’s one of those things, just like the perfect composition, that you can’t “unsee” it once you see it. Have you ever noticed that the overwhelming majority of photographs — almost all, if not all — neatly fit into one of a few niches? We have genres like landscape, abstract, portraiture, urbex photography, nature photography, wildlife, etc. There are lots and lots of different categories, but when you compare the number of well-known categories to the millions of photographs created each day,...

WM-451: Art is Timeless | Photography Clips Podcast
Photography Clips
Art really is timeless—and that is true across all mediums, be it photography, sculpture or something like literature or movies. To see what I mean about the timeless nature of art, look no further than books. Here, you’ll find works that could be a century old, two centuries, or perhaps even older than that. And yet, we still read them today and get value from them... Podcast Notes: Follow me: #PhotographyClips #WillMoneymaker #Photography
