So, I'm very discouraged at the moment. I'm a beginning in photography, and up until now have really wanted to focus on portraits. I've strived to learn, been hard on myself, and listened to advice given here. I feel I am a long way from charging for my work, but the ultimate goal is to get there one day! The problem is I live in a relatively small community and it seems that as far as portrait photography, there are just too many people doing it here already. There is one person in particular who has gotten a huge fanbase from Facebook. And I would say this person has this community, and some surrounding communities pretty much tied up. Then just today, I was on facebook and another friend of mine just announced, "hey I'm starting a business, here's my FB page, like me and I'll give give-a-ways, yada, yada, yada. She says this after posting a total of 3 and I mean 3 "sessions" she's done.
So, I guess what I'm trying to say is I think I need to start rethinking my creativity and go a totally different route than I wanted to take.
Any suggestions? I know this is a total whining post, and I wanted to vent, but I would like to know what you would do?
