Money ? Time ? Mojo ? Apathy ? - What's the reason you're not shooting at the moment ?

Apathy in the UK?

Time, other ways to occupy myself and way too many shoots that still need to be edited.

Who's not shooting? I had two shoots last month, I've got two this month, and I've got 4 next month.

I'm shooting too often at the moment - three shoots in seven days, another on Friday and a list of promises still to work through. If anyone has any spare apathy it wouldn't go amiss here - I need to recover my senses!

Apathy.
Engagement across a lot of social media platforms is dropping like mad (unless you're a tiktoker).
I do a fair few private shoots but those are the ideas and images that the model wants as opposed to what I want and I can't/won't share them anywhere.
Sometimes, when I do have the time and money, I just can't think what I want to shoot and who with. I'll see a casting and think to myself "yes i could definitely work with her" but then not do anything about. I just get the 'can't be arsed' feeling.

No apathy here at all. I am shooting as much as I can at the moment as my plan is to move to a place where it will become very hard to find models and I have plenty of things I wish to achieve before that happens

Been way too busy sorting out and fixing cock ups and mistakes made by people who are only in jobs because they have a busy day attending to the mistakes they made yesterday, and busy making more today, so that I can be busy fixing those mistakes tomorrow.....sound familiar? If you sacked them all you'd have half the wage bill and twice as much time to do the important things in life....i really do despair.

Yep, time is an issue for me at the moment too - waiting for the life v's time balance to swing back the other way !

Poverty and a job that likes to keep my roster a secret until the last minute.

Anxiety. I haven't mentally recovered from the pandemic yet
Oh actually, well shooting myself, more than ever. Nearly every day 🙈. Shooting so much that I can't be arsed to edit. Lol
But, yes, shooting with others, anxiety and illness from medical treatment is a huge driving factor. I have offers of paid work. It's frustrating not managing to get into a position where I can take that up.

Withdrawal, not apathy. But gradually getting back to usual schedules. Probably have to give it up later this year, so I need to attack my 'to do' list while I'm still able to.

Sensual Art FiL haha that's cool ! - hopefully I might be able to squeeze a couple of shoots in soon, beginning to forget what the buttons on my camera are for ! :)

Zero energy, mental and physical, for a long time - but I'm making an effort as I have some time between jobs, and actually put out a casting today.
(If anyone who's responded is reading this, I'll reply tomorrow!)
