130 - Emotional Exposure: Tackling Mental Health Challenges as a Photographer
Manage episode 464006829 series 2910491
In this week’s podcast episode, we’re diving into a topic that’s just as important to a photographer as mastering your camera settings: your mental health. Being a photographer isn’t just about creating beautiful images—it’s also about navigating the challenges that come with life, whether photography is your hobby or a job. From the pressures of running a business to dealing with creative burnout, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
My guest, Tyson Martin from the Life of Phys podcast, and I discuss the unique mental health struggles photographers face, like solitude, imposter syndrome, and the constant hustle to stay relevant in a competitive industry. More importantly, we share strategies to manage stress, set boundaries, and prioritize your well-being so you can thrive both creatively and personally.
Whether you're juggling deadlines or just feeling the weight of comparison on social media, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone—and that taking care of your mental health isn’t just important; it’s essential. Tune in for practical advice, personal stories, and a little inspiration to help you focus on what matters most: you.
