Doug Menuez has written a very strong piece (thanks Sergio for letting me know!) about his personal journey to success as a photographer. He has some very powerful ideas and advice in this article. I applaud his openness in sharing and hope that all of you take a lot of this to heart.
Among all the great info, make sure you recognize this:
- It is scary, you might fail.
- But if you don’t try, you WILL fail.
As I so often tell creatives: if you wanted security, you should have chosen dental school or accountancy. You chose to be a creative so you might as well be as fully creative as you can. Be the BEST creative you can be. Free your creativity and forget those who tell you things like “that’s too weird” or “I don’t get it” or (worst of all) “It would be safer to shoot [X]…” Just friggin’ go for it creatively. 🙂
