\u00a0<\/p>\n

Would you like to release a crazy amount of joy and fun in your work? I might just have the secret for you. Well, it certainly works for me at the moment. So here`s the trick: Dream big and set yourself a ridiculously far-fetched goal that really excites you. Mine it to photograph the Queen.<\/p>\n

You may laugh and hey, so do I \u2013 and that`s what does the trick: There is no pressure whatsoever and no expectations. Noone seriously expects me to accomplish that. For someone like me, who literally crumbles under pressure and when feeling expecting eyes on me, this is so liberating.<\/p>\n

However, while the goal should be something quite far-fetched, it shouldn`t be entirely impossible. Like you know, turning into a unicorn. Or becoming a piano superstar when you have no feeling for rhythm or something like that.<\/p>\n

I`m here on this earth with my camera and so is the Queen. \u00a0So it`s just about working out a strategy and taking steps that eventually bring us together, which of course includes becoming better and better as a photographer. I`ve given myself a random time frame of two years to achieve my goal. And I`ve thought \u2013 just in case it shouldn`t work out with the Queen –\u00a0 I would be equally cool with photographing Prince Charles as an alternative instead.<\/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

A wild and incredible journey<\/h3>\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\t\t\t\t

I used to take my work so seriously and while I still kind of do, there is now much more lightness and play in my approach. It feels more like a fun game, where you can win, but it wouldn`t be the end of the world if you don`t. In fact, I will win either way: Because, while I do want to reach my goal, I know that it`s even more about the journey: \u00a0The journey towards this achievement will just benefit me so much, both as a person and as a photographer. \u201cWho would you have to become on your way to trying to achieve that goal? \u2026 It would be a wild and incredible journey\u201d, says Kara Loewentheil in her podcast \u201cUnfuck your brain\u201d about \u201cimpossible goals\u201d (I recommend listening to this by the way). Just imagine: How would you develop on the way of achieving this goal?<\/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
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

With my goal in mind, everything falls into a more convenient perspective: When I go on photo jobs now, I see them more as helpful little steppingstones and opportunities to learn on my long journey to photograph the Queen \u2013 and not as THE ultimate test that will proof whether I`m a good photographer or not. Failing becomes more like a valuable experience that helps me to achieve my goal. And whatever happens \u2013 whether my boss likes some pictures of mine or not, whether I get a certain assignment or not, \u2026 \u2013 nothing of that can ever take away my dream. It`s my decision only, not anybody else\u2019s. And I finally really understood the quote by Arthur O`Shaughnessy: \u201cWe are the music-makers, and we are the dreamer of dreams\u201d.<\/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

Tr\u00e4ume gro\u00df<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

W\u00fcrdest du gerne eine v\u00f6llig verr\u00fcckte Menge Freude und Spa\u00df an deiner Arbeit freisetzen? Kann sein, dass ich den richtigen Tipp f\u00fcr dich habe. Also f\u00fcr mich funktioniert er zumindest im Moment ausgezeichnet. Also hier ist der Trick: Tr\u00e4ume wirklich gro\u00df und setze dir ein l\u00e4cherlich weitgegriffenes Ziel, auf das du dich wirklich freust. MEins ist, die Queen zu fotografieren.<\/p>\n

Kann sein, dass du jetzt lachst und hey, ich lache auch \u2013 aber das ist genau der Trick: Es gibt keinen Druck und keine Erwartungen. Keiner denkt ernsthaft, dass ich das schaffen m\u00fcsste. F\u00fcr jemanden wie mich, die unter Druck und Erwartungshaltung wie gel\u00e4hmt ist und dann gar nicht gut arbeiten kann, ist das so befreiend.<\/p>\n

Allerdings muss das Ziel zwar gro\u00df sein, aber nicht v\u00f6llig unm\u00f6glich. Also es sollte nicht sowas sein, wie \u201eich will mich in ein Einhorn verwandeln\u201c. Oder \u201eich will ein Piano-Superstar werden\u201c, wenn man null Gef\u00fchl f\u00fcr Rhythmus hat.<\/p>\n

Ein Fotoshooting mit der Queen zu machen, ist dagegen theoretisch m\u00f6glich: Ich bin auf dieser Erde mit meiner Kamera, und sie auch. Also geht es nur darum, eine Strategie zu erarbeiten und Schritte zu gehen, die uns am Ende zusammenbringen. Das bedeutet nat\u00fcrlich auch, immer besser als Fotografin zu werden. Ich habe mir selbst einfach mal ein Zeitfenster von zwei Jahren gesetzt, um mein Ziel zu erreichen. Und ich habe mir auch \u00fcberlegt, dass \u2013 falls es mit der Queen aus irgendeinem Grund nicht klappen sollte \u2013 Prince Charles eine gleichwertige Alternative w\u00e4re.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Eine wilde und unglaubliche Reise<\/h3>\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\t\t\t\t

Ich habe meine Arbeit immer sehr ernst genommen. Zwar nehme ich sie irgendwie immer noch ernst, aber da ist jetzt viel mehr Leichtigkeit und Spiel in meiner Herangehensweise. Es f\u00fchlt sich mehr wie Spa\u00df und Spiel an, bei dem man gewinnen kann. Aber es w\u00fcrde auch nicht die Welt untergehen, wenn ich nicht gewinnen w\u00fcrde. Tats\u00e4chlich werde ich so oder so gewinnen: Denn zwar will ich mein Ziel wirklich erreichen, aber trotzdem wei\u00df ich, dass es mehr um die Reise dahin geht. Der Weg zu meinem Ziel wird mir so viel bringen, als Person und als Fotografin. \u201cWelch eine Pers\u00f6nlichkeit m\u00fcsstest du werden, bei dem Versuch, dieses Ziel zu erreichen? … Es w\u00fcrde eine wilde und unglaubliche Reise werden\u201d, sagt Kara Loewentheil in ihrem Podcast \u201eUnfuck your Brain\u201c \u00fcber \u201eunm\u00f6gliche Ziele\u201c. (Empfehle \u00fcbrigens, das anzuh\u00f6ren.) Stell dir mal vor: Wie w\u00fcrdest du dich entwickeln, wenn du dich tats\u00e4chlich auf den Weg zu deinem Ziel machen w\u00fcrdest?<\/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\t\t\t\t

Seit ich mein Ziel im Kopf habe, f\u00e4llt gerade alles in eine angenehmere Perspektive: Wenn ich auf Fotojobs gehe, habe ich nicht mehr so sehr das Gef\u00fchl, auf die Probe gestellt zu sein, als ob ein Fotojob beweisen w\u00fcrde, ob ich eine gute Fotografin bin oder nicht. Ich sehe alle meine Jobs eher als hilfreiche kleine Meilensteine und als Chancen, auf meiner langen Reise zur Queen dazuzulernen. Misserfolg wird eher zu einer wertvollen Erfahrung, die mir dabei hilft, mein Ziel zu erreichen. Und was auch immer passiert \u2013 ob mein Chef irgendwelche Bilder von mir mag oder nicht, ob ich einen bestimmten Auftrag bekomme oder nicht, und so weiter \u2013 nichts kann mir je meinen Traum wegnehmen. Es ist allein meine Entscheidung, nicht die von irgendjemand anderem. Und ich habe endlich wirklich das Zitat von Arthur O`Shaughnessy verstanden: \u201cWir sind die Musikmacher und wir sind die Tr\u00e4umer der Tr\u00e4ume\u201d.<\/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":"
