Like healthy eating, you know what you need to do in your photography

September 25, 2023

I like to eat junk food. There are so many good cakes, pies, cookies, ice cream, funnel cakes and more. I also know that too much junk food isn’t good for me and causes all sorts of issues. I know what to do to eat healthy, but I only sometimes do it. I also have learned that dieting to fix an issue is a short-term fix and that the term diet isn’t something you do. It is what you actually eat.


Our creative process is a lot like eating. We can live on junk food and the costs that come with it, or we can eat a healthy diet to feed our creative process. In the podcast this week, I talk about how important it is to bring a healthy diet to your creative process, and after a while, you might find that a healthy diet makes your photograph that much better.
