Flow. As you know I love the term 'flow'. I consider this a mental state. A nirvana state. This is where highly successful people work on high-value tasks at a continuous level of activity. I feel in order to work best, you must enter into this state as much as you possibly can. If you think about it, being in the 'flow' is a top state of performance and productivity.Once you are in this state, everything you do will seem effortless to you.
How to get with the 'Flow'. The fastest way to get with flow is by wanting more. You have to want more. Your desire to get on with the desired task quickly so you can achieve it faster. This is part of an impatience that motivates you to get going and to keep going. This will only help you to want more.
Be Curious - it is important to have a sense of curiosity.
Companies, as well as people, can be curious. If you are open to change you will always be very curious.. Reintroduce curiosity into your life by changing the way you're looking at the world to a more dynamic perspective. Instead of focusing on controlling the outcome when you photograph a wedding you should focus instead on accepting many possible outcomes. Such an outlook, in and of itself, will go a long way. I think it is important to have fun. Again put yourself in a position to have good thing happen. Don't photograph at the obvious location. Take a moment a find a way to make the ordinary become extraordinary.
In my life I feel rich not because of money, but because everyday I get to go to work doing something I love. I always thought the only legacy I would leave in this world would be my beautiful children, but as I get older I realise I am leaving another as well. That is legacy of memories I have left for many many families over the years through my photographs.
There are 21 days to get ready for The Society of Photographers Convention and Trade Show at The Novotel London West, Hammersmith ...
which starts on Wednesday 15th January 2025
