Description

It’s very important we clarify and Photographers and Artists where we want to belong in the world and how we want to impact society.

In this episode of 'Moments of Mood', I jump into the heart of the ongoing dialogue surrounding the role of content creation, the impact of social media, and the essence of true artistry in today's society.

Drawing from recent conversations and feedback, I explore the blurred lines between content creators, influencers, and genuine artists. I address the misconceptions and challenges that permeate the world of photography, filmmaking, and art at large.

From unraveling cognitive biases like the Dunning-Kruger effect to shedding light on the dangers of succumbing to superficial validation and short-term gratification, I advocate for navigating through the noise and reclaiming the essence of creativity and expression.

Join me as I challenge conventional norms, dissect societal constructs, and advocate for a return to authenticity and depth in our creative endeavors. It's not just about capturing moments or garnering likes; it's about shaping narratives, fostering connection, and inspiring change.

So, whether you're a seasoned artist, an aspiring creator, or simply a curious soul seeking substance amidst the chaos, this episode is for you. Let's ignite conversations, challenge perspectives, and reclaim the true essence of artistry in the digital age.

Because in the end, that's what truly matters.

Episode Highlights:

  • The pitfalls of the Dunning-Kruger effect and the Illusory Truth Effect in shaping perceptions;
  • Navigating through the dichotomy of influencers versus genuine 'artists';
  • The commodification of art in the era of social media and its repercussions on creativity;
  • Embracing vulnerability, authenticity, and intentionality in the creative process;
  • Crafting a narrative of substance amidst the noise of short-term validation;
