The Death of Creative Hobbies.

photography as a hobby is in a bad place in 2025. In this video I talk about the seemingly harsh reality of photography in 2025, the pressure to create, the influence of social media - making us approach our hobbies with a productivity mindset, so much so that we are approaching our hobbies like we approach our jobs. In this video I discuss this issue, but more importantly, how to solve it - ensuring our hobbies can remain fun, enjoyable and just for us.
