Comparing one’s work to others can be a real too

Comparing one’s work to others can be a real tool for progress when used to wisely. Yet there is a fine line between it being helpful and it being armful. I never cared to be the “best” photographer out there. I only cared about being excited by the work I created and when working with clients making sure they would be too. Looking at other’s people art has been very helpful for me during my journey. It is easy to identify what we like in other artists’ work and then see how one work could implement similar traits but with one’s own secret sauce. Yet looking at other’s work, especially on social has been tricky. As I grow older being dad of a 5 year old, I love to spend time with my family and have the privilege to be able to. I make choices that give less space for crazy photo trips - so once in a while I see a few inspiring friends constantly on the go around the world and for a split second I envy them. And then I remember we live different lives, make different choices, and that what I see is a blink of my friends’ days and that being with my family at this moment cannot be replaced by a trip in Antarctica, in the jungle or on the moon. All that to say, love your art, keep creating and remember the first few years of the life with your children will never be replaced - it goes fast! Those are photos of the whales from this year in Mo’orea except for #2 that was my first year experiencing creating with the whales!

Did you notice the 2nd frame? That second photo was half intentional but the juxtaposition works great for me. No guns + cowboy vibes. 🧐
Chicago is such a great city for photography. From winter with -20 to summer with over 100F there is a wide range of conditions to play with.
Now I’m on my way to my favorite island in the world to create images with the whales 🐳 it will be a different ambiance for sure! I also took some time off with the family before. I recently realized that I didn’t really would go “off”. When you have your own business there is always a few daily things one can check. It takes discipline not to do so! That was much easier when I used to be an engineer amongst thousands of employees 😂
Sending you much love 💕
Have a beautiful day. #photography #sonyalpha #streetphotography

« The fish you catch on your own tastes better. » - Maori-Tai I recently had the privilege to document @maori_tai ‘s morning spear fishing session. The ocean was rough, my foot was injured and two water housing options failed on me… I met Maori-Tai back in 2019 on my first trip to Mo’orea and I’ve always been impressed by his calmness working underwater helping restore the coral reefs. Maori-Tai shared that he took his first human breaths, walked his first steps, swam his first strokes and fished his first fishes on Temae in Mo’orea where he still lives. « When I was a kid I did not understand the privilege I had to be growing up here. My dad taught me first how to fish with a small bamboo pole, it was mainly a game for me as a kid. But as I grew older he taught me how to fish with a speargun. He explained that in life if you don’t have a job it is not a problem, you can live with Nature, live with the Ocean. The Ocean can help provide food and a playground. My great grandfather, my grandfather and my dad are all skilled fishermen. I owe everything to the ocean and as such I want to give back through my work helping restore the reef and my actions. The ocean is a peaceful yet powerful place and I feel the calmest in the water leaving all the thoughts and worries of the land on shore. » Photography is a powerful way to share stories. Thank you Maori-Tai for opening up. OPPO is running the imagine IF Photography Awards, I've already joined it and I invite you too as well! Participants can win up to $24,000 and have the chance to have their work exhibited at Paris Photo 2024. Grab your phone, express your vision and thank you @oppo for supporting this project. #OPPOimagineIF Passing it on to the next creator @kinmarcinphoto #OPPOimagineIF #sponsored

Everyone in the northern hemisphere talks about summer while in the South it’s winter. This reminds me of how much our way to see the world is shaped by the environment we grew up in. I’m still having a hard time thinking it is summer in December for half the world 😂
Wishing you all a beautiful day. ✨
Ps. I started a Patreon I’ll talk more about it soon but you can already join for bts, ad free content, photo breakdowns and more - it’s @pierretlambert I’ll link in bio too ❤️
