About this listen

In this week’s episode of The Perceptive Photographer, I dive into a question that comes up more often than we admit: Who are we really making our work for—ourselves or our audience? It all started with a thoughtful question from longtime listener Dennis, and it led to a deeper look at motivation, ego, and the tricky dance between personal expression and external validation. From the pull of social media likes to the sting of critique, I explore how feedback can both shape and distract us. I also talk about the importance of being your own first audience—because if your work doesn’t move you, it probably won’t move anyone else. Whether you’re creating for clients or for yourself, this episode is a reflection on staying true to your voice while remaining open to growth.
