Lesson Three
Learn through YouTube and online learning platforms like Creative Live. Learn how to use the equipment as well as possible, as being competent with gear will allow you to create more impactful images.
I highly recommend interning/assisting professional photographers as much as possible. This won’t always be paid but you will learn a lot from others experience.
If you can formally study this will assist you with the technical aspects, science behind light and how to use the different software’s. Very valuable.
Creating online pages and going out and shooting your own conceptual images and holding exhibitions to get people to engage with your work will be difficult at first, but backing yourself now will give others confidence in your work.
You will need to work hard and be patient as you will be constantly looking for work and clients. You will also need to shoot most of your concepts yourself which will be unpaid and use that as a portfolio.
Owning your own company takes dedication and perseverance.
