Starting and failing is better than never starting.
At least, that is what I tell myself.
Maybe it is surviver bias convincing me this, but ever since my first "big" investment into my photography career I've been hooked.
A road trip to Wyoming and Colorado mostly to climb, but also build a portfolio I was proud to share.
As it turns out, I'm a better lifestyle photographer than "action sports" mainly because I like to do the thing, which means my camera is often at my side while I climb, hike, etc.
BUT, once the activity is done, I am ready to capture those moments between the action.
Going into that first road trip, I had no idea, but as image after image was snapped, I learned what I enjoyed shooting. The moments between the action.
Turns out, this is what the brands I dreamed of working with were looking for anyways, which meant that first road trip became a proof of concept for me, my business model, and creative career.
Travel, document, share.
A simple model that serves both my clients, my wallet, and my creative juices.
So, if you are holding yourself back because you think you might fail, I say go ahead and give it a shot. Who knows, it might just work out for the best.
