Ep 680Ego vs. Critique: What's Really Hurting the Photography Industry
In this episode, we're breaking down a problem that's quietly holding the photography industry back—ego. After watching a photographer get flooded with hateful comments on their work, it became clear that much of what gets labeled as "critique" isn't actually constructive feedback at all. It's insecurity, comparison, and ego showing up as opinion. We dive into: The difference between real critique and ego-driven criticism Why "it's public, expect feedback" misses the point The truth behind "I'm just being honest" How toxic feedback impacts creativity, collaboration, and growth The clear difference between how professionals and amateurs engage This isn't about avoiding critique—it's about raising the standard of how we give it. Because professionals build. Amateurs attack. If you're a photographer, creative, or anyone sharing work publicly, this episode will challenge how you think about feedback—and how you show up in the industry. https://jamespatrick.com/
