The Photographer Mindset

In this episode with wildlife photographer, bear guide, and OM Systems ambassador Arthur Lefo (@arthurlefo), we delve into the concept of gaining "traction" as a photographer and how it evolves with career progression. We briefly touch on the controversial topic of wolf reintroduction in Colorado, emphasizing the importance of exploring diverse perspectives in heated topics. We discuss how novelty can be a creative driving force in photography, and note how too much seeking of novelty can have a negative impact on project completion. Furthermore, we explore the dedication required for sustained excellence, emphasizing the significance of consistently tackling mundane tasks. The episode concludes with insights into Arthur's editing style and various techniques used by photographers to establish a unique artistic identity.
