Episode description

LW1442 - The Turning Pointt

It's common — perhaps universal — that artists who persevere long enough will eventually uncover some doubt about their work. Their heartstrings begin to tug them away from the work they feel is expected from them and instead start responding to the creative paths that are personally expressive. This often is accompanied by guilt, doubt, and even an existential crisis about who they are and why they are producing art. I've come to learn that most photographers experience this crisis at least once in their life. If they are lucky and embrace these feelings, they have the opportunity to grow past the herd impulses and find their own voice. Indeed, this may be the essential path of the creative artist.
