Ever since I've started working full-time, my camera has certainly been collecting dust. I haven't been able to make time for the camera and what essentially happens is I pick it up and play with it, take a couple boring shots and put it back down. There's no longer that interest about composition anymore. I can't even think in a creative manner. Does this come with time? I know a couple friends who are just so natural in seeing a scene that they can capture it away from its typical angles. I've been trying to take chances, but it's not happening. I think I may have to take a hiatus from photography.
I'm just annoyed at myself for the last shoot I did, and how bland and plain it was. I still need to grasp that charm to communicate and direct models but clearly I am not making an effort.

How do you see composition? Nothing can really teach outside the fundamentals, since that is the basis of creativity, but what inspires you?

being able to share something, from your perspective, that no one else had the joy of capturing in that moment except you.
