Support Your Fellow Photographers
Posted by Anna M. on 2nd Sep 2015
The photography industry is notoriously competitive, and these days with social media being such a huge influence in our private and business lives we need to ensure that we don't get drawn into the negativity that is often found on the internet.
You don't have to look too far to find bitchiness in online forums and Facebook groups, so we just wanted to encourage all of our lovely followers and friends to ignore any negativity and do what's right for you!
If you find yourself being drawn into ugly conversations online or see comments targeting someone unfairly, why not try putting yourself in that person's shoes and imagine how you would feel if those comments were directed at you.
It seems all too easy to pick out flaws with other people's work, but here at Oz Backdrops and Props we think it should be just as easy to celebrate others' work and give encouragement wherever possible!
Negativity isn't going to get you anywhere in your professional life as a photographer, in fact it will quite possibly limit your potential and make you blind to great opportunities. Being a positive influence to others will not only make those around you shine a little brighter, but will also make you feel great too!
If you are a member of groups or pages online that are tearing people down rather than building them up, don't be afraid to leave! They're not worth your time or energy.
Here at Oz Backdrops and Props we welcome all photographers and industry professionals no matter whether you are brand new or have been around for decades. There is no room for negativity here!
So feel free to share your favourite images with us on our Facebook page, and let us know what your favourite vinyl backdrop design is. Keep up to date with our social media profiles so you don't miss out on all our latest news, fresh designs, and get some inspiration from your fellow photographers.
And remember, all our backdrops here at Oz Backdrops and Props are printed on high quality matte vinyl, are water resistant and lightweight, and can be used for any genre of photography including newborn, toddler, family, cake smash, photo booth and even pet photography!
