We get a lot of DMs and questions about photography:
📸 How did you get started?
📸 Are you full-time?
📸 What camera do you use?
📸 What lens?
📸 What settings?
📸 How did you land that gig?
📸 HOw dO yOU do ALL the THiNGs YOU dO?
Everyone wants the secret.
The truth? There isn’t one.
WORK HARD. BE KIND. That’s it.
📖 Learn the fundamentals. Read books. Watch YouTube. Take classes. Join meetups. Most importantly, get out there and shoot. Over and over and over again.
The part people don’t always see is that this is years of practice, mistakes, failures, learning, networking, and showing up consistently. Your journey won’t look like mine, and mine didn’t look like anyone else’s.
Photography is only part of the job. Running a creative business means wearing a dozen hats every day —photographer, editor, marketer, salesperson, accountant, customer service rep, content creator, and everything in between. 🤪
The effort you put in will eventually show in your work.
There are no shortcuts. Just reps, relationships, and relentless consistency.
WORK HARD. BE KIND. The rest will follow. 🙏🏽
