“The people who hire me as a wedding photographer hire me not just because of my photographic style, they hire me because of the style of my personality. My style and personality match, so they know they’re getting a genuine style.”
Big dreams of making it to the top as a photographer are surely helpful, cheerful and motivating. However, it is not the dreams that you get you there but goals. Each step of advancement must be well defined, visualized and timed. In this episode we asked 4 professional photographers what dreams they have and what goals they set for themselves.
The full interview is available of YOUTUBE. For your convenience, here is the transcript of it as well.
Ben Tsui @bentsuiphotos: The future of my brand, things are changing so quickly over the years, and it’s faster and faster. You always kinda have to not reinvent yourself but improve yourself. You’ve always gotta learn. You’ve always gotta change. You’ve always gotta adapt. Especially in the fashion industry.
What it is today was different from what it was last month, what it was last year, not just the style, but how things are worked. You always are gonna have to adapt. You can’t just sit and wait for it to come to you.
Ace Style @ace_style : In the future, I would definitely want to do high-fashion photography. It is something that I’ve been interested in for quite a while now. It’s definitely much more advanced than what I do now, therefore, I’m building a team, a small crew, it’s going to have a designer, and a stylist, and a make-up artist that will definitely help me to get into high-fashion photography.
Mois @moisnomois : The most I want is I want to get to the print publishing, and worldwide, and maybe make it into a brand itself. We’ll see how it goes.
Toma Kostygina @toma.kostygina : I want to focus on more video than conceptual portraiture. I want my images to speak for themselves. I am just experimenting and we’ll see where it takes me.
