The secret to success for photographers is not to show their “cards” under pressure. Relax and always tell yourself it all gets done in the end with a great supportive team. Diva photographers are a thing of the past and no one wants to work with those guys anymore, high profile and talented or not. People want a light-hearted fun running set, NO DRAMA.

It’s a new world where a photographer has to actively out themselves out there.
Encourage those around you. Don’t tell your clients or models everything you are thinking or working out in your mind. You are the host of the party. Everyone will follow your lead. If something happens that throws you off, quietly figure it out with your team. No need to over-share. Be a professional.

Listen.
Quiet your mind so you can hear it.
What a rep needs from you is something to say. Tests, new work, web content, a story, anything to give us something to share about you.
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
Don’t put your name or copyright on your images. It looks cheap and distracting.
Stay strong in your style.
Don’t compromise your voice to be everything to everyone or you will get lost in the mix. It is your unique vision and execution which will set you apart from the pack and get you the job!
Rejection?
TRY HARDER.
Step one to successful Marketing: show only your strongest images to make an impact in 2 seconds.
