To have a breakthrough creatively in the modern world one must remove a few things firstly:
- Delete Instagram
- Stop watching YouTube
- No texting/phone calls/etc.
- Quit reading the news
Then, turn inward:
- Spend at least a year or more in solitude
- Hike in the woods and spend time in nature as much as possible
- Read ancient texts
- Create from an autotelic state
Once you start creating from this state of complete detachment from not only the outcome of photography, but the noise of the modern world, your authentic voice will emerge over time.
