I really appreciate this conversation! These aren't the "Oh, you need to adjust these settings" tips. But really learning to accept certain things and learn growth are the keys.

I like this video!! This is all spot on especially about watching too much content on YouTube and less action or buying too much gear in the beginning thinking it’s gonna improve your skill but it’s you working on that skill. I’m so guilty of this.

Nice video bro. These are definitely key things to note for any beginner. I’ve dealt with a lot of these myself. I know listening to these talks from you years ago is what kept me grinding it out even though I was hitting a burnout back then. Great to have you back consistently bro 💪🏽

Thank you so much for sharing this video! This resonates with my photography as well, lol! I was sooo pressed on getting the perfect gear to make my work look better, but finally realized that it’s all within you..the way you capture each moment…your vision…your creativity. And definitely seeing the smiles from your client’s. Surely appreciating the journey and enjoying every moment of growth. Thank you so much for this! And love your channel! ❤️

Really enjoyed this video thank you...i'm about to embark on my photography journey and this was timely

[brionsantiagoflowyo]

I agree with you 💯. Nothing like being surprised by a normal shot. That feels good

[marcuspersley]

These stories are great because the experiences that you and your wife have had can really help those who are at that cross roads in the exact same moment. It takes a lot of guts to be this open with your struggles. Thank you Brother Adrain for sharing.

Wow, I wish I would have heard this before I got started. Thanks Addrian.

Not sure if its the YouTube algorithm but welcome back 💪🏿

Everything you said is true, bro. I used to love taking photos, dragging my friends into the park, and taking pics of them, but criticising myself made me stop everything. I'm slowly getting back into it now. Thank you for your advice 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

It’s 3am on the west coast while i’m watching this video and this is a freakin Gem. Really appreciate this video.
Just started doing photography as a business this year and I know I’m going to be watching this video multiple times throughout the journey. Thank you for sharing your experience and for your advice.

[jordontester]

The amount of gear I’ve bought at first n never really used it in the end 🤦

[Jay_Cash]

Thanks for the advice brother you got a new subscriber 👌🏼

Hi Adrian thank you for sharing this video, I want to start doing more portrait work, and I will be honest and that is I am scared to come out of my comfort Zone as I like to shoot sports so this will be a new experience for me. Cheers Mark from Australia

God is always on time. I was just talking to my wife and looking back on some photos beating myself up of course because I realize again that my posing needs work. Thanks for this video bro… everything you just said is so spot on man. Especially that posing thing. The lighting thing is also a challenge SOMETIMES… but I have to do this posing thing better. Also I’m going to start shooting more when I’m not working. I pretty much never shoot when I’m not working. I’m at a point where I’m doing pretty good paid work but still not alway comfortable or confident when I’m shooting. There’s no turning back now so I got to get it together. I appreciate these great points you made and I believe it’s gonna help me push through. Blessings to you and your wife. 🙏🏽

Number 6 kinda read me a little bit! haha. But you're very right. Excited to put all I'm learning from YouTube into practice!

[ccArk]

Thank you so much for his video. I really and truly appreciate it. I am guilty of all those things that you spoke of.

That is so interesting Adrian, what you said about you being an introvert (I would not have guessed, but I am too) so you had to work at it but your wife, being a hairdresser, is a natural people-person. 😁😁You've given us introverts hope!

[loudornelles]

Thank you for this talk, I cried last week (high iso, much noise, no AI to help)

[kemarbell]

Good tips it's called growing process without these experience you wouldn't be here talking to is I'll take your advice and apply it to my kit but I have to go in raw and grow it organicly🙏🏽
