Identity crisis

I still find it strange to consider myself a designer rather than a photographer. My internship description is design, but now that I look at the three photographers shooting with their cameras, I want to be doing the same. The only designer here, I find it difficult to find someone to relate to and share my ideas with. I miss telling a story through my own eyes rather than making a fellow photographer’s story look good. I look forward to design and can’t wait to put my creativity to work, but I miss being behind the camera.
