This is not a book about photography.
It’s a book about everything cameras can’t fix.
Lessons From a Terrible Photographer is for creatives who did everything “right” and still ended up stuck, burned out, or quietly disconnected from their work.
It’s not about gear, presets, or career hacks.
It’s about the internal battles no one warns you about:
Why talent and technique aren’t enough
Why comparison erodes originality
Why burnout isn’t failure, it’s information
Why finding your voice has more to do with subtraction than addition
Written with honesty, humility, and hard-earned experience, this book focuses less on how to make work and more on why you make it at all.
There’s no guru tone here. No superiority. No pretending I have it all figured out.
Just a human, practical look at creative life in the messy middle.
If you’re looking for tutorials or technical advice, this isn’t that book.
If you want something that helps you feel seen, challenges the myths you’ve been carrying, and gives language to what you’re experiencing, you’re in the right place.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This book will ship after the preorder run is printed. You’ll receive updates as we approach printing and shipping.
