ReImagine Photography

Social media has changed the way we consume photography as an art form, and not necessarily for the better. YouTube as a medium for exhibiting your photos, and creating an experience for others to enjoy photography is my personal favourite right now. As mentioned in the video, here's my favourite YouTube that I posted about Penguins at Macquarie Island :)...

If you are struggling to find your creative path, or let your mojo flow to release your creativity, the missing ingredient may actually be the very thing you avoid.

Which means my first YouTube went up about two years ago, and I've been numbering my podcasts/vlogs...

More questions than answers in this episode. We're taking a look at the struggles a photographer can face after 25 years of a freelance career, and trying to find a sense of belonging when you are a temporary feature instead of a permanent fixture. * My Photography Advice: https://ewenbell.com/blog * My Newsletter: https://ewenbell.com/subscribe #EwenTube #Photography #PhotographyVlog...
