If there's one thing I've learned over the years is that every photographer and creative starts somewhere. The hardest part is taking the first step, picking up the camera, and making something. Whether you're shooting your first concert, your first portrait session, or your first commercial project, having an idea and making it happen is what matters. Good or bad. Practicing, showing up to the venue, being on set. That's what separates the photographers who grow from the ones who don't. The biggest difference is always showing up.
