    Jess, your work is awesome. You don't have to envy or compare yourself with those big league "photography companies".

    It's the same with filmmaking. A director isn't cutting (or filming) their own movies they have editors and cinematographers BUT the best photographers and directors understand how those roles/jobs work because they spent so much time doing it themselves. It makes them the best bosses and creative leaders because they understand what's required of the role and speak the same languages as the people that work with them. It's so frustrating going everything yourself but ultimately it makes you a better creative in the long run.

    Retouching is an art, completely separate from photography. I'd like to see Annie Liebovitz's pictures before they have been worked on.

    Yeah its very true...i do landscapes..i have one 5dii...one lens..and one tripod which is very bent..i take ok photos, i am happy with my passion and hobby...but i used to compare myself with guys who have multiple lens some worth $4000 each, amazing tripods, filters, amazing cameras, plus they are experts in photoshop it makes u wanna cry lol.....end of the day u can never compare yourself to others. i love taking photos for myself if someone else likes one then its a bonus :)

    I just started photography and I am struggling with that right now. I am always wondering whether I will be good enough to get that $1000 photoshoot or get my pics into a magazine. Your video has totally inspired me and I will continue this journey

    Some of the most famous photographers who everyone goes crazy about can't even tell you what lens they are using. They have a guy that decides on the lenses, puts it on, especially one in particular who I'm not going to mentioned who is regarded as a complete genius in the photography world. Watched a documentary where he's literally saying, he doesn't even know how to set up the camera. When he shoots the pictures the whole thing is set up and then he walks over there and hits the button. He gets credit because it's his, "Vision," well.... It's not much different than being 6 years old and coming up with something in your imagination and saying that's my vision and then all these people put it together and you walk over and hit the button. Vision doesn't do it for me... I like people who know how to execute the whole thing.

    When I first decided photography is my passion I followed a bunch of great photographers.

    Thanks for this video, Jessica! I often thought I could never get as good as some of the big photographers on Instagram, but I never thought of it this way. Keep on rocking!

    I love this Jessica. Couple of months ago I felt the same. We are working hard to make it to better leagues. Maybe today you would like to be where some other photographers are, but at the same time there tons of us here trying to reach your level.. I love how open transparent you are with us. Thank. This is why you are doing great and do greater.

    Also thank you for this Jessica! I've been doubting my photos because I see photographers like You and Brandon but this reminded me to stop comparing myself and just keep trying and shooting :)
