Being a Success

We looked at the WPO's photographic conversations on student photography and I took away some great advice and motivation. Here are the important parts of the presentation that I found helpful:

Why am I doing what I am doing?
How does this reflect the world?
Change subjects to show a new or unseen viewpoint
I need to care about my subjects
Research into the people I am photographing and showing work too, how would they expect it?
How will it be presented? does this compliment or contrast with the subject?
Do I know why I am networking and marketing?
Use each and every tool available to me
Photography is not always behind a camera
Break down the walls I build around myself
I will develop my own personal style



How to be a Success

There are many articles, videos and books available trying to uncover the secrets of being successful, however I feel these are useless as success must come from within and no matter how much you read about being successful it is redundant unless it is put into practice. But here are some tips from the presentation we given in this weeks lecture:

Move past fear
Failure is part of it
Find a drive
What you put in, you get back out
Be nice to people
Network is key
No debts, try keep on top of everything
Market yourself
JUST DO IT
Theres no age limit
Do I deserve it ?
RELAX!
Whats your personal style?
