Dear friend,<\/p>\n

Only photograph what you love or what you’re passionate about.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Your life is short, uncertain, and fleeting. Why waste any of your time or life making photos which you think others will like, instead of shooting what you <\/i>like?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Don’t shoot for likes or the approval of others. This is the quickest way to losing your passion for photography. By shooting what you’re passionate about, you have the following benefits :<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You won’t lose motivation to shoot.<\/li>\n
  2. Your photos will feel more authentic and genuine to you.<\/li>\n
  3. You will embed more of your heart and soul into your images, which will end up affecting your viewers on a deeper level!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \n

    <\/p>\n

    As a photographer, you’re both an artist and philosopher. What are you trying to say through your photos?<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    For myself, I want my photos to show optimism, joy and hope in life.<\/p>\n

    How about you?<\/p>\n
