Photography, I've done a handful of paid gigs but never again. Takes the fun out of it.

I'm just now learning this. I have told people for years that I didn't want to do it professionally, but people convinced me to do photo shoots for them. I somehow ended up doing about 9 photo shoots in the course of two months. It really did take all the fun out of it.

I hate the deadlines, the communication, and the pressure of it. I like being in control of my photography, I don't want to give the control to other people tbh

I guess my confidence and knowledge did grow a lot, but I don't want to keep doing it
