Confidence/People Skills

Post Body

I am a cosplay and comic con photographer and have been shooting "professionally" (as in, charging money for photoshoots) for 2 years now.

I'm learning and improving every day, but even though I have had a wide range of clients and repeat customers, I am wracked with anxiety during a shoot and feel like I have no business photographing people.

When did you start feeling like a "real" photographer and becoming confident in your knowledge? Is there a goal I should have in mind? Does the imposter syndrome go away?
