I was unable to make the call but it’s interesting to hear so many creatives are questioning their direction. After 25 years of building a career, clients and work seems to be disappearing at a record pace. This is the slowest year in my whole career, smaller clients test out their skills with AI and larger clients are trying to save money are slowing down on their marketing and photography spending. I am trying to embrace this slow season, knowing that all things eventually change and hoping that the pendulum will swing back in favor of the creatives. Some days it’s harder to have faith that this career will sustain me another 10 years and the quest of pivoting seems overwhelming.
