\"80%<\/p>\n

One principle for success as a modern photographer: realize that your artistic work will never be \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcperfect\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in a state of \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcbecoming\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t let perfectionism hold you back. Rather, strive to do your work \u00e2\u20ac\u02dc80% good enough\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and hit publish.<\/p>\n

Paralysis by analysis<\/h2>\n

Modern photography strategies from MODERN PHOTOGRAPHER<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Often we fall victim to paralysis by analysis, and end up doing nothing.<\/p>\n

My suggestion: Seek 80% \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcgood enough\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, and just do it.<\/p>\n

\"80%<\/p>\n

For example, with blogging, write a blog post 80% good enough, and hit publish.<\/p>\n

With business and entrepreneurship<\/a>, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t seek to make your products 100% perfect, or else you will never ship your product. Like Steve Jobs<\/a> said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Real artists ship.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

With your photography, follow your gut and publish and share pictures of stuff that seems 80% good enough to you.<\/p>\n

Innovation is always steady improvement<\/h2>\n
\"Evolve
You must evolve and innovate as a modern photographer.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I am a huge fan of this Japanese concept of \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcKaizen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122\u00e2\u20ac\u201d steady, continual improvement. You will never be perfect. Your products will never be perfect. Your photography or visual art will never be perfect.<\/p>\n

So friend, always keep hustling, and putting yourself more \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcout there.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/p>\n

My principle to success:<\/p>\n

\n Publish more.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Whenever you publish, you gain more self-confidence. You gain more knowledge. You share more knowledge and information.<\/p>\n

How you can apply the 80% principle to your photography and life<\/h2>\n

    \n
  1. Make your own photography blog via WordPress.org (use bluehost.com or 1and1.com as your domain host) and everyday for a month, publish at least 1 blog post every day, and make each blog post 80% good. Post pictures, text, videos, or anything on your mind. Treat it as a visual diary.<\/li>\n
  2. Remove the word \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcperfect\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 from your vocabulary. Focus on production. Seek to produce and make more art. Realize that Pablo Picasso<\/a> made 1-2 art works (every day), until he died. Leonardo da Vinci<\/a> wrote around 7,000 pages of notebooks. By producing lots of ideas and art, and publishing a lot, you will discover a few really good ideas.<\/li>\n
  3. Create one art work or piece a day. It can be a picture, a poem, or any other form of visual art. For more inspiration, pick up a copy of CREATIVE EVERY DAY<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    BE BOLD, AND KEEP MAKING ART!
