ADHD, Burnout, and Rebuilding a Photography Business with SCOTT PROPOSKI - Episode 288

From Camera Shake Photography Podcast Kersten Luts

He lost a seven-figure photography business almost overnight.

This is how ADHD, burnout, and a total reset changed everything.

What happens when a successful photography business disappears overnight?

In this episode of the Camera Shake Podcast, photographer Scott Proposki shares his honest and powerful story of losing a seven-figure photography business during the pandemic — and how that collapse forced a complete reset.

Scott opens up about burnout, identity, and the emotional toll of going from working with major clients like National Geographic, Microsoft, and the White House to starting again from zero. A major turning point came when he was diagnosed with ADHD later in life. What once felt like chaos, distraction, and constant feast-and-famine cycles suddenly made sense — and eventually became a creative and business strength.

This conversation dives deep into ADHD in photography, mental health, imposter syndrome, and why so many photographers struggle silently while trying to run a business alone.

If you’re a photographer or videographer feeling burned out, overwhelmed, or questioning your future, this episode will resonate deeply.
