Overthinking is very inconvenient in photography, especially photojournalism. Life is changing in seconds. If you think instead of just pressing the shutter, you will usually miss the \u201cdecisive moment\u201d.<\/p>

I often catch myself thinking \u201cShall I take a picture?\u201d or \u201cWill somebody mind?\u201d or \u201cWhat will people think?\u201d I really want to challenge myself to not do that any more. Instead I want to replace hesitating with the reflex to just focus and press the shutter. Thinking and hesitating are just not useful in these situations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Don`t question it, just do it<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In one of my favourite documentaries about photographer Koci Hendandez, he says: \u201cWhen I have a camera in my hands, my head and my heart are connecting in a way that says \u2018press that button\u2019 \u2013 and I do.\u201d And: \u201cWe all have the inclination when we have a camera to take a picture, and all I did was learn not to resist that. Every time my finger wants to press the trigger for whatever reason, I don`t question it. I just do it.\u201d<\/p>

He says that with so much energy and determination \u2013 it`s contagious. Go for it, be brave, question later, do not miss a moment. Especially as we`re shooting digital now 99 per cent of the time, so everything can be deleted anyway.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Shoot first, ask questions later<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I\u2019 m a big hesitater as a photographer as well as generally in life \u2013 which has made me miss a lot of opportunities and experiences. So, I urgently want to work on that and practice overriding the hesitation- and-overthinking-reflex with a new trust-your-instinct-and-go-for-it-reflex. As a photographer but as well in other areas of life.<\/p>

Street Photographer Steve Simon says: \u201cI shoot first, I ask questions later.\u201d And: \u201cIf you take time to think, you`ll miss the shot. So you`ve just got to trust your instincts and shoot and hope for the best.\u201d\u00a0 Will the shot turn out great? The thing is: you won`t know until you try.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Zu viel nachdenken ist ung\u00fcnstig in der Fotografie, vor allem im Fotojournalismus. Das Leben ver\u00e4ndert sich im Sekundenschritt. Wenn du nachdenkst, anstatt einfach den Ausl\u00f6ser zu dr\u00fccken, dann verpasst du meist den \u201eentscheidenden Augenblick\u201c. \u00a0<\/p>

Ich ertappe mich oft dabei, wie ich denke \u201eSoll ich das fotografieren?\u201c, \u201eSt\u00f6rt es jemanden?\u201c oder \u201eWas k\u00f6nnten die Leute denken?\u201c. Ich will es mir wirklich zur Aufgabe machen, das nicht mehr zu machen. Stattdessen will ich dieses Z\u00f6gern durch den Reflex ersetzen, einfach zu fokussieren und abzudr\u00fccken. Nachdenken und Z\u00f6gern sind einfach nicht praktisch in diesen Situationen.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Frage nicht, mach es<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In einer meiner Lieblingsdokus \u00fcber Fotograf Koci Hernandez sagt er: \u201eWenn ich eine Kamera in meinen H\u00e4nden halte, dann verbinden sich mein Kopf und mein Herz auf eine Weise, dass sie beide sagen \u201eDr\u00fcck den Knopf\u201c \u2013 und ich mach\u2018 es.\u201c Und: \u201eWir alle haben den Impuls, ein Bild zu machen, wenn wir eine Kamera haben und alles was ich gemacht habe, ist zu lernen, dem nicht entgegenzustehen. Jedes Mal, wenn mein Finger den Ausl\u00f6ser dr\u00fccken will \u2013 warum auch immer \u2013 frage ich nicht. Ich mach\u2018 es.\u201c<\/p>

Er sagt das mit so viel Energie und \u00dcberzeugung \u2013 es ist ansteckend. Mach\u2018 es einfach, sei mutig, frage sp\u00e4ter, verpasse keinen Moment. Zumal wir zu 99 Prozent sowieso digital fotografieren und alles wieder gel\u00f6scht werden kann.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Mach erst das Foto, frage sp\u00e4ter<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Ich bin ein gro\u00dfer Z\u00f6gerer, als Fotograf und \u00fcberhaupt im Leben. Dadurch habe ich viele Chancen und Erfahrungen verpasst. Also will ich dringend \u00fcben, den \u201eZ\u00f6ger- und -Nachdenk- Reflex\u201c mit einem neuen \u201eVertrau- deinem- Instinkt- und \u2013 mach- es-Reflex\u201c zu \u201e\u00fcberschreiben\u201c. Als Fotograf und auch in anderen Bereichen im Leben.<\/p>

Fotograf Steve Simon sagt: \u201eIch schie\u00dfe erst das Foto und stelle Fragen sp\u00e4ter.\u201c Und: \u201eWenn du dir Zeit nimmst nachzudenken, dann verpasst du den Moment. Also solltest du deinen Instinkten vertrauen und abdr\u00fccken und einfach das Beste hoffen.\u201c Wird das Foto gut werden? Die Sache ist: Du wirst es nie wissen, wenn du es nicht versuchst.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
