- Even though I've been shooting,
I consider myself a newcomer,
and I think it's a really tricky thing
because everybody tells you that you need to be a specialist
and in my life what I have learned is that actually--
and anybody else is teaching you, they go like,
don't put all your eggs into one basket.
That's like the life lesson that I've learned here
yet everybody else wants to tell you in photography
that you should specialize.
I think what you need to do
is photograph what you're passionate about,
whether it's micro, or macro photography,
or landscapes, whatever that is,
do what makes you happy.
I think from that figure out what it is that you can do
and do it well and create a job from that point on.
But, I do feel that you should try
a whole bunch of different things.
Action, from action sports to other things,
because photography is an art
and it also has technical aspects to it.
I think you should learn a lot about your equipment
and other peoples' equipment.
You should learn a lot about different genres and styles
to figure out what you really want.

- There's this thing called fake it 'til you make it.
There's some truth to it.
You don't keep the drama to yourself,
you don't tell everyone about the negative parts
of your job, any job, you know, your work.
But I think being genuine about your artwork
like being, showing your true self through your work
and also to the people you meet is very important
in this industry; timeless is the new cool.
I really believe that.
- I would suggest finding friends
and people that you feel comfortable with
and starting there so you show up
with some confidence until you can build
your confidence in photography and expand.

- And another advice to anyone
who's trying to build a business:
photography, although a lot of it is creative
at the end art, it's still a business
and you still wanna grow it.
We started in 2014 and we really didn't feel the break
until like three years after
and we're still working towards a certain goal.
Give it a few years.
Give it at least five years, I would say
to see if it's something really for you.
The growth is always exponential
I think in anything; especially in business.
- I think it's important to listen to your own heart.
Maybe, it's important for the artist,
for the photographer to be alone,
to be in solitude, so you can experience,
you can dig deeper in your heart and your soul and see
what is inside, what is it what you wanna do.

- I have found that it's really helpful
to start with what you know.
Since I started as a dance major,
I knew dance, I felt confident in dance,
I felt confidence working with dancers, so I started there.
They're inspiring for that helped us all.
So you're walking into the shoot knowing
something about what you're shooting
and not brand new to the photography
and the subject you're shooting.
- In some times, we're distracted by too much noise.
Too many people, too many opinions, and points of views.
It's really important to escape
and see and just look inside of you.
