How can I overcome my discomfort with being on camera as an artist?

Try to leave behind the perception that you don’t like being in front of the camera, that you’re not interesting, or that you have nothing to say. Get outside your comfort zone and start testing with video content. You might find a comfortable setting - like your studio, greenhouse, or workspace - where you feel more at ease recording. Start there. The key is to begin testing despite the nervousness. Most artists feel exactly the same way you do - it’s a common thread among 99% of artists. But those who push past this barrier and show their authentic selves see significant results in building their audience and connecting with collectors.
