RE: The story of a failed photographer

in #photofeed7 years ago

Very interesting article. I am half pro photographer (not my main activity) and in some point I can recognize myself. The only advantage I seems to have is that as it’s not my main activity, but only a paid-side-hobby-something, I can really deeply choose my client. And also, as they come to me, they know what do they can expect, the way I’m working and the stuff that I have. They are kinda integrated in the process of creation, i do my best to realize their projects, but I also do not hesitate to say if something is above my skills due to a limited budget and gear. I still hope that you didn’t loose the fire of the passion, and that you shoot for yourself now, because your work is really impressive, and it would be to bad to not use this talent !

Thanks man! Your profile pic is awesome by the way.
I don't think I'll ever get into studio photography in the same way... but I really do think I'll give the local market a shot, and only take on clients that I'm excited about. Thanks for coming along and commenting, I really super appreciate it. Thanks so much!

This is the problem with artistical activities I guess... It required a real personal investment, from the mind, the heart, and the wallet ! If you give a shot to local market, could you post some result here ? I’d be happy to see the result ! Greetings! (And thanks for the remark :D)

Exactly right!
I don't think I'll ever make as big an investment into studio photography that I did before, but that doesn't mean I won't try and make smaller investments of mind, heart and wallet for hopefully a great payoff.

I will, I promise... if I take more photos I'll post them on Steemit. Everyone has been so very supportive!
