Stuck in a Loop
Every so often my thinking gets stuck in a loop, thinking the same things over and over and not solving anything. At the moment it is photography there is so much to think about.
I have a to do list which feels extensive
1->I have to set up an on-line shop
-> this requires two things:
- setting up a payment method
- taking photographs of everything I already have
2->I need to apply to craft/pottery fairs
-> these need a variety of things:
- I need to work out what I want to show
- make that work
- photograph it
- write all my artist information
3->Apply to galleries/shops
- I need to work out what I want to show (dependant on the place)
- make that work
- photograph it
- write all my artist information
- write a personalised pitch and market to them
4-> Start posting more often on social media
-> I have a few things I want to do on social
- Post lifestyle shots
- Using pottery in food photography
- Make more short videos for social media
- Make more longer videos for YouTube
- share more of my daily art
- share some of my poetry
I my mind is obsessed with photography at the moment and I spend all my free time researching different techniques and set ups, but just can’t commit to buying anything and it is driving me up the wall as I keep doubting myself. I didn’t like my previous setup of a light tent, I never liked anything I took with that set up.
I can’t afford a professional for all my photography at the moment and I know from looking at my own instagram feed I really need to improve what I do for social media too.
I really just need to get on with it, there is so much to do.
