Most photography books teach technique. This one is about everything cameras can't fix. Doubt, burnout, comparison, and the slow erosion of confidence that nobody in the industry talks about. Lessons From a Terrible Photographer is a raw, honest look at what it actually takes to build a sustainable creative life. Not gear. Not presets. Not trends. Voice, resilience, and the courage to keep making honest work when the excitement wears off. Written for photographers who know the problem isn't their camera anymore.

As a working photographer, this book is absolutely a must listen. Patrick talks about the things no other book or podcast does - the creative struggle, and how to find your own way in a tough working environment. The reality of a working creative and all of its highs, and many lows.

I own the physical book, and listen to Patrick's podcast, and this is a superb addition to those.

A must listen for any creative or photographer!
