I love the analogy to sports in childhood to adolescence! Itโ€™s true, exposure to a variety of styles allows us to choose the right fit for us! For me, itโ€™s landscape photography. Great post :)

I do agree with spreading yourself across subjects because you learn and develop skills that can help in use on other subjects.

I mostly do street but that doesnโ€™t mean I donโ€™t take a camera when going past stunning landscapes or take photos when Iโ€™m hanging with friends and taking portraits for fun.

It was nice of you to throw in that fun fact about yourself from university, the course you took sounds interesting and impactful!

Damn this one came at the right time for me personally. Iโ€™ve also found some enjoyment and enlightenment in participating in workshops from professionals whose work I admire, outside of the genre of photography Iโ€™d typically be drawn to. As a result, I find myself starting to lean in a different direction that feels a little more fulfilling.
