Overcoming the Comparison Trap in Photography (How to Stop Measuring Your Work Against Others)

Comparison is one of the biggest confidence killers in photography. In this episode, we talk about the comparison trap — why photographers constantly measure their work against others, how social media amplifies self-doubt, and what it does to creativity over time.

This episode is for photographers who care deeply about their craft but feel stuck, behind, or unsure of their creative voice. We explore mindset shifts, practical ways to refocus on your own work, and how simplifying your gear choices can help reduce creative overwhelm.

If you’ve ever questioned your style, your progress, or whether your photography is good enough, this conversation will feel familiar. This isn’t about shortcuts or trends — it’s about building confidence, clarity, and long-term growth as a photographer.

You’re not behind. You’re just in the middle of the story.
