What motivates us to keep making photos?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My theory:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are never visually satisfied. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This is a good thing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Dissatisfaction drives us forward!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m never satisfied, can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t knock my hustle.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d – JAY Z<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Imagine if we were easily satisfied with our photography. If so, what motivation would we have to make new images? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Channel your insatiability in a positive\/productive way <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve discovered a good way to compel me forward in photography and visual art is finding inspiration anywhere and everywhere. In fashion, design, through traveling in new places, studying cinema<\/a>, going to art shows, architecture, paintings, car design<\/a>, watch design, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been super inspired by McLaren car design, Louis Vuitton x Virgil, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All visual inspiration is good inspiration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the other day I went to the Tesla store and felt so much inspiration sitting down inside the Tesla Model 3<\/a> (ultimate zen minimalist car). I felt the passion of Elon Musk<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u201d and this passion motivated me! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re beyond just a photographer. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a visual artist<\/a>. Let anything visual motivate and inspire you to greater heights!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
