The struggles of an independent photographer

Man, it’s rough out there when you’re starting off in this world. Finding clients, along with trying to understand the legalities of the business, is daunting. As an unpublished artist who just goes off of his gut and didn’t go to any universities to get a degree in this field, I feel like people don’t see the potential in me as I do. And sadly, I actually expected it to be like this haha.

I need to come up a strategy to market myself as well as be more proactive in my shooting endeavers. The phone won’t ring and the emails won’t just magically appear just because I want them to. I need to put in more work hours if I’m going to make this a reality.

I don’t really know who reads any of this, but doing this blog thing is so nostalgic of the MySpace days. Hahaha.

Be well out there!
