That's essentially the whole problem and the premise of this year's batch of essays: photographers forgot why they take photos because they are blinded by engagement metrics.
As for my lenses, I have articles and a YouTube channel about gear and workflow. Here's one (long but comprehensive): fourbrickstall.com/my-l…

Didn't realise my profile wasn't setup apologies. Sorted it out now. I'm not a bother I promise haha
Wow! That's a lot of great info. I shall read this after work later! Thanks.
I find myself looking for figures, sets etc more than I should, when I should be concentrating on setups. FOMO (fear of missing out) is very real.
And I'll be writing about that topic next year! Already in my draft list.
It's hard for us to stay focused because we are juggling two hobbies and both cost money.
I used to be a portrait photographer in Brooklyn, and it's the same: we're always looking for interesting people to take photos of. FOMO when Comic Con or Santa Con is in town because cosplayers and drunk Santas, need I say more? 🤣
Haha totally get that mate! Photography is such an expensive hobby, I've dabbled with portraiture and love comic con trips but don't seem to get enough time for it all when u got a full time job and 3 kids all with after school clubs etc and football games and practice at the weekends. Not enough hours in the day!
