This week’s episode is a bit of a firestarter. Gary’s back behind the mic after a few weeks away, talking about what really drives growth — not gear, not technique, but support and accountability.
He breaks down why most photographers say they want creative freedom but rarely do what it takes to get there. Why discomfort isn’t the enemy — it’s the signal. And why the Dare Photography Community exists: to help photographers stop hiding behind comfort and finally take the kind of risks that change everything.
You’ll hear about:
Why overthinking is killing your creativity.
How “creating energy” on the street transforms your photography.
The difference between wanting it and doing what it takes.
Why going it alone doesn’t work — and how support accelerates growth.
What the new Dare Photography Facebook community is (and isn’t).
How real feedback (not flattery) shapes stronger photographers.
This isn’t another social media group — it’s a challenge. A space for honest feedback, fearless work, and genuine creative evolution.
