First, stop judging yourself. If someone was judging you like that it would be considered abusive.
Second, stop comparing yourself to others. You cannot compare yourself to others. Their experiences and knowledge help shape their works. It is unique in that regard.
Third, most people doubt themselves at different times in life and those who do not will someday. Just know that it will pass.
What works for me, and hopefully for you, is to understand your photography. Each of us have a unique perspective on life based on our experiences and emotions.
Use that to your advantage by listening to your heart.
When you see something that imprints an impression on you heart capture it with your camera. If the image doesn’t impact others in the same way that is ok, given their background in life. But continue forward, continue to listen to your heart.
For you are the camera. Your heart is the media that captures what you experience. Your eyes are the lenses. Your experiences in life are the filters.
The more you see the reality there and capture the subject with your camera the better you will like your work, your images. When you share that experience with others it impact their lives in ways you cannot imagine.
Remember you are an artist.
Your goal is not to copy what others have done before you but instead create something new by seeing it in a new light, a different perspective that you alone have. That takes imagination and opening your heart to feel that which is unseen.
