We are looking forward to slowly starting a new section on the blog called photographers resources. Ideally this will eventually become a staple, but for now, will make an occasional appearance. There are so many great people out there who are willing to share and give insight, that we wanted to try and help do our part. In the line of some photographers who Stacey and I really look up to, like Mike Colon, [b]ecker, and Joe Photo. We will periodically be giving our thoughts, and some tips on what we find helpful in photography and in general. Please keep in mind that these are just things that we may find helpful, interesting, or thought provoking. By no means, do we claim they are the best way or the only way. Hopefully everyone may learn something. I am more amazed than ever at the things we use in our business that came from a much different experience than photography. We learned right away, that it is one thing to know how to take a picture, it is something entirely different to run a business.
With that in mind, our first recommendation is to get involved! Become active in your industry, community, whatever interests you. There are so many good people out there that are willing to help and share ideas, etc. You never what those new relationships will lead to in the future. I know there are a lot of people out there who like to operate on their own little island, scared that they may reveal the secret to their success. It is our belief that we can all help one another in some way, and elevate the entire industry in return.
Following with today's topic, here is a picture of me doing my first speech for some fellow photographers at our last PUG meeting.
(picture compliments of Paul Fletcher with PSF Photography)After coming back so inspired from Mike Colon's Workshop, I wanted to share some of the under the radar things I learned. Some of which included stepping out of your shell, trying new things, taking risks, and building new relationships.
Take Care and Be Involved!
