I CANNOT EXPRESS THIS TITLE ENOUGH !!!
I am 20 years old as I am writing this. I can not even accept a couple offering me a drink yet. How am I supposed to be respected as a full time wedding photographer?
It. Is. Possible.
I have been working on this one idea for a while now and it all boils down to one idea. If you want to be known for something, then you have to talk about it. I don’t care how old you are, if you’re bringing your camera to an event that you’re not getting paid for, people are going to remember that. You’re the dude that brought a camera to the party and was taking photos of everyone there. From then on, people are going to remember you for that. Get out in the field, start doing work for free, talk about your passion in regular conversations.
It’s the same reason that you see me posting on Instagram EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.. You’re not going to be the first thought that comes to mind unless you are the one most in front of your audiences eyes! I know, i’m getting all riled up about this.. I’ll bring it down a notch. I just think that it is so vital for your friends and family to know that you are a photographer. If your closest friends aren’t getting that impression, how are your clients going to know? This is what I will be trying to work at in 2020. I want to not only grow my business, but also grow a reputation in the heads of the people around me that I am a photographer.
