I've been thinking a lot about social media, how it feels like Instagram punishes you via the algorithim if you post less, and just overall sharing in an authentic way. I'm tired of being on social media, but as a business tool it feels invaluable. I feel drained/discouraged by the idea, so hopeful for some tips/encouragement as to how to stay consistent, authentic, and use social media for the advantage that it genuinely is!!

Hi everyone! I'm new to Skool! Thanks for allowing me in this community. I've been taking photos for about 20 years but seriously for the last 5. I took a massive course and read a few books and voila, my photography has improved 1000%. I can now call myself a photographer and I love continuing my education every chance I get. Hello to everyone in this community!

I’m currently traveling for work, and every time I travel I learn SO MUCH about traveling as a photographer. Would love to hear some of y’all’s favorite travel experiences and tips as a photographer! Or if there is something you’d absolutely recommend NOT doing! I feel like I have lots of those 🤦🏼‍♀️

When I first switched from a zoom lens to a prime lens for street photography, I didn’t expect how much it would reshape the way I approach shooting. A zoom lens gives you flexibility, but that flexibility can also be a trap — I often found myself hesitating, second-guessing whether a scene was “worth” photographing, or fiddling with focal lengths instead of simply capturing the moment. A prime lens removes that decision fatigue. Because you’re locked into a single focal length, your eye gradually adapts to seeing the world in that frame. Instead of wondering whether something might look good, you start composing instinctively. You move your feet, you explore angles, and you commit to capturing the energy of the scene as it unfolds. This constraint is actually liberating. It forces you to focus on fundamentals — composition, timing, and storytelling — rather than technical choices. Over time, it makes you more decisive and more creative, because you’re training yourself to see photographically rather than just “take pictures.” If you’re feeling stuck in your street work, try spending a few weeks with nothing but a prime lens. The discipline it builds might surprise you, and it could help you reconnect with the raw joy of capturing life as it happens.
