Excerpt from my interview:

Advice for others starting out?

"For aspiring photographers starting out that are looking at college I would recommend a degree in business or marketing and then take photography classes as your electives. Much of the real struggle in making a living as a photographer comes from understanding how to run a successful small business, taxes, marketing, and operations. Artists are entrepreneurs. Learn the fundamentals, exposure triangle, and compositional elements as elective courses and by experience. Create a portfolio and revise it at least yearly. Don’t be afraid to cringe at your old work, if it burns it means it is working. Devote your free time to going out and actually using your gear to photograph your niche subjects. Join your local camera club and surround yourself with people who love photography as much as you do. Also, many professional photographers are on YouTube vlogging and sharing their lives and struggles. It is an amazing resource. Find a mentor or three in your genre to watch, study and learn what works and doesn’t in the real world."
