If you’re not having fun with your photography you may be doing it wrong. To me, it doesn’t matter if it is your job or hobby. If you are not having fun taking photographs I believe your creativity is lost. There are a few exceptions though. Photographing war, violence, natural disasters, and human or animal suffering are a few I can think of.

Think about it. When you are having fun doing something it becomes easier to think, “Hey let’s try something”. When you are not having fun the project becomes mundane and more like work. It could be that I have reached a point in my life where I have decided that there is too much going on in the world to do too many things I don’t enjoy. I may not have taken many photographs lately because I have allowed myself to be overwhelmed by things I don’t enjoy. In order to correct this, I going to focus on things I enjoy.
Find fun in your photographic art, even if it is a serious portrait session or the hunt for beautiful landscapes. Once the fun is back the creativity is endless.
