A few days ago, I posted about how I don't think there can be an over-saturated photography market. Most of the focus was on the client, but I talked a little bit about community as well. Today I want to focus in more on that community aspect and talk about why we don't need to be afraid of our so-called "competition".

A lot of people think that photography is super competitive. They lament an "over-saturated market". I think it's all about how you look at it. I certainly have not found an over-saturated market in my area!!! I have been searching and searching for other photographers around me because I am looking for community.
Growing up, I heard this warning about social media. I didn't have any accounts, but I struggled with it a bit in real life. I got my first social media account in 2017 and I made strict boundaries for myself, in part, to try and avoid this pitfall. But now I have realized that I still fall for it. What game do we all play, at one point or another?
The comparison game. Growing up, I heard about kids who were badly affected by social media. I didn't have any accounts, but my friends who went to public and private school would talk about that sort of thing.
It makes me sad that some people deal with hurt from their social media accounts, but I have found a wonderful community. |
