A while ago there was a Solve Sundsbo interview over at SHOWstudio that I recently revisited. Some items he said that struck a chord with me were:
“It kind of sounds weird but to actually stand behind a camera and having to communicate with someone is terrifying because you have to get either a performance out of someone or you have to kind of capture something that you think is essential about that person. And there are so many great photographers out there as well so you know what the standard is, you know how good it can be, and if you put your standards up to the level of whoever you admire it’s pretty terrifying.”
“If you want the level to be high I think you’ll be disappointed quite often. I don’t think it is something that you should be scared of to be disappointed, right. Cuz I think that if you just want to be happy all the time you won’t be very ambitious…. You’ll shoot really boring pictures very quickly.”
