What happens when a photographer quits Instagram? In this episode, we explore Aaron’s decision to step away from social media and how it’s opened up space for creativity and focus. Then, we dive into hot takes from photographers on Threads, evaluating opinions on everything from personal branding to follower counts. This conversation is about redefining productivity, finding meaning, and navigating the ever-changing world of photography.

Expect to Learn:

• Why deactivating Instagram will free up mental space
• The importance of intentionally creating space for deep focus
• Why focusing on your craft matters more than chasing social media follower numbers
• Why you don’t need to travel to exotic locations to take great photos
• Why redefining productivity to include rest, reflection, and intentional downtime leads to better creative output
