Thanks to the internet and social media, we’re now exposed to art more than ever before. With Instagram and a bunch of photo-sharing apps and websites, we can see hundreds of pictures and videos every single day. All of this has a good side, of course, since it lets us have loads of inspiration only a click away. But today, we’ll discuss one of the bad sides.

In this video, Nigel Danson talks about the impostor (or imposter) syndrome he feels as a photographer. If you’re exposed to lots of amazing images you see on Instagram every day, you may feel the same. Nigel shares his experience in the video, and I’ll share some tips on how to face and overcome this crippling feeling of self-doubt and give yourself the credit you deserve.

I don’t deserve to be writing this because there are more capable people who can speak more eloquently than I can that can deliver this message to you.

This is exact thought that went through my head as I was writing this blog post because I’m not the best writer. It took 10 minutes just to figure out to start and I often make mistakes even after proofreading. I try twice as hard to convey my thoughts, so why should you be reading this?
