Those days when nothing goes to plan and everything you try just does not work out, what ever you do.
I had a couple of ideas to shoot, and all day free to do so, but I just could not find the sweet spot where everything clicks. I changed my clothing, hair, makeup, the setting, lenses, everything you can think of and couldn't make things work in the way I wanted. You should have seen my apartment, a total mess after all this.
Working on something creative can sometimes be really hard when you have a vision but somehow it just doesn't translate to the camera. There have been times when I use hours and hours to shoot and have nothing to show for it. It's fucking depressing and makes me doubt everything I do. Then I'm grumpy (see below) for a while, until I get a new idea I really want to start creating. And hopefully succeed in. Maybe tomorrow. Or the day after that. Procrastinator for life.
I'm going to throw up in my mouth a little but here goes:
Don't give up.
Keep at it.
Work.
Learn from your mistakes.
Try again, and again, and again.
Believe in yourself.
Then again, even if you believe in yourself, you can still be an absolute failure :D
Fellow artists of different fields, can you relate?
