Time to open up with You and tell You about my frustrations.
It is not easy to be an online content creator and express Your artistic views and not get any recognition.
It is true that I do this for myself and to express myself and my views and my art. And like in every art expression it is subjective a lot of times my favourite and best works get the least love and exposure. And in that moments it is when I get even more defeated.
When that happen I always try to redirect my negative energy to work in better and more projects that might be entertaining and satisfactory for everyone on the internet.
I try to not compare myself with other artists out there because I know we are all different and we all have our own style, path and ways to see the world.
Love to get inspired and learn with other amazing People, both creatively and technically. Because of that I am always very aware of my lack of technical skills. So even when I tend to compare my stuff with others I always try to do it with People that I feel that are at the same level I do. Never with People that clearly have a way higher level of expertise than me.
But being a content creator a lot of times it is not all about Your content and I feel for sure that is my bigger frustration. When I see People that I consider to be less skilled than me, that don't have the passion that I do and that don't put 10% of the effort I put on my content growing and getting recognised.
You might called it jealousy and I will confirm that a small percentage in me will confirm it. But I don't wish that People to fail. I just wish that I would get my chance.
Usually I express this feelings in a video. I like to talk it out and just explain everyone how I feel. If You follow me for a while You know that already.
This macros will for sure not do great and probably will be seen by a dozen of People. There are many flower photography out there, many better macros. But I am proud with the final result since I have captured this ones with my mobile phone camera (Samsung S10 plus) and I have just started capturing macros.
Been online sharing my content for many Years without being very successful and this feeling comes and goes. Once again I will be using this energy to work harder on my content and to prove everyone out there my value. To prove everyone out there that I am a great artist and that I can achieve whatever I put my head in.
If You got this far on the post I want to say thank You. I really want to keep bringing more photos that will make You stop, look at it, smile, enjoy. Hopefully I will be able to keep doing it with my photos.
Thank You so much to everyone that have been supporting me online on this long journey I have been living. I really appreciate every single one of You.
