In this episode of the podcast I asked BPP community moderators Jim Sinicki and Kim Irish to join me in a fun discussion about photography and the community. They asked you, members of the BPP community questions and I do my best to answer them.

The Big Ideas:

Embrace Discomfort in Your Photography Journey: Challenging environments yield unique opportunities. Whether it’s a rugged landscape or dense urban streets, discomfort can push your creative boundaries.
- Start planning a photo expedition to a challenging location, like a local street photography workshop or a remote nature hike.
- Prepare for these conditions with proper gear and mental readiness to turn discomfort into creative success.
Tackle Imposter Syndrome Head-On: Feelings of doubt are common, especially when pricing your work or comparing yourself to others. Recognizing them as part of the journey can reduce their power.
- Reflect on your achievements and client feedback regularly to build confidence.
- Engage with a supportive photography community for encouragement and constructive feedback.
Value Your Work Appropriately: Pricing should reflect the quality and effort you put into your photography. Reassessing your rates can prevent undervaluation and communicate professionalism.
- Conduct market research to understand the going rates for comparable work.
- Don’t be afraid to incrementally increase your prices and communicate the value you bring to clients.
