Uninspired but wanting to return to my hobby
Our take
I used to be so inspired by my surroundings and find everything so beautiful, even in the mundane. I would take photos of everything that caught my eye. Over the years I feel like I've become disillusioned in a way, I'm bored of where I live, I can't see any beauty anywhere anymore, and I just don't feel the passion for my surroundings.
I follow a lot of photographers and vintage photography accounts and i'm amazed at how they make the mundane seem so beautiful. Of course I also envy the travelling photographers for actually having subjects that are more inspiring and spirited. I feel like I've completely lost the ability to see beauty at all in the first place.
Anyone got any advice on how to fix this mindset? When I go out in nature this isn't an issue, I guess I mean specifically finding beauty in the mundane.

- Help getting excited about photography againHey all, I love photography. I’m self taught with hand me down gear. I often find that I’m super harsh on my self critiques of my photographs even when they’re probably objectively good. I do this with a lot of my art forms. How do you get excited about your photographs while still taking feedback to grow? I want to get better, but I have trouble capturing the beauty I see And it often feels defeating. Feedback wanted - either how to be happy with it and still grow or how you learned to capture what you wanted to. submitted by /u/EnbyTherapist1701 [link] [comments]

- How do you get creatively “alive” again after burnout?I work a 9-5 office job that completely drains me mentally, and lately I feel like I lost touch with the creative part of myself. Photography is honestly the thing I care about most and what I actually want to do with my life, but right now I just feel stuck. I still love photography, but I have no inspiration, no ideas, no urge to even pick up the camera sometimes. It’s like my brain is constantly tired. Did anyone here go through something similar? How did you get yourself moving again creatively while working a job that burns you out? submitted by /u/acskuruczdaniel [link] [comments]
