On my birthday, I decided to tell the full story of how I realistically became a full time photographer. This is extremely personal for me, but when I was getting into the industry, I know it would’ve helped to hear what the journey of this profession was like. So here’s my sad attempt at trying to inspire somebody who wants to start a business, become an entrepreneur, or just take a leap of faith. This is what I went through, and what I’m sure many others go through to live a fulfilled life.

Great tips haha
Dropout of campus , and brake up
Guess my way to became a full time photographer before 25 is way simpler,, go to college for fashion photography, shoot some freelance work for design students, do some unpaid internship that actually let me shoot stuff, graduate from college,and send out cv and portfolio to magazines, and became an in-house photographer,, was 22 when i got the job 😀
