What questions should I be asking myself?

there are many questions that I can think of such as, what am I doing, what is this picture for, what can I show people about what’s important to me, etc. But I think as a photographer, we should have a mindset of a transporter not a story writer. To me, taking pictures is not about expressing myself, but rather capturing moments and emotions of the environment and people around me. So instead, I would ask myself: What is this picture trying to say? What are the emotions of the environment/things I am seeing right now.
