WHAT’S YOUR STAGE?
ASPIRING, EMERGING OR ACCOMPLISHED
Read below to identify what stage you are at. Contact us if you need help finding the right fit.
AM I AN ASPIRING Photographer?
As an aspiring photographer, you’ve shown your photos to friends and family and have been told “you have an eye for this”. You understand basic camera skills and have some of the key equipment – however, most of your work is naturally lit (i.e. you don’t have studio lights).
You want to take photos that tell a story and truly connect with the viewer.
YOU’RE INTERESTED IN:
- technique – color and composition
- critiques – get feedback on your work to help you narrow and hone your style
- supplies and tools – where to save and where to spend
- marketing – learn to build your brand, launch a website, maximize your social media
Am I An Emerging Photographer?
As an emerging photographer, your photos are consistent and turn out how you intend. You have a good understanding of the complex workflow from subject in front of your lens, to the final printed image.
You’ve taken workshops/courses, have begun selling your photos, and want every picture you take to be regarded as a “fine art photo”.
YOU’RE INTERESTED IN:
- technique – color and composition, advanced camera functionality
- critiques – get feedback on your work to help you narrow and hone your style
- selling your work
- pricing
- building your brand and marketing, leveraging social media well
- earning a steady income in an unsteady economy
- how to sell your work and get noticed
- business skills – learn the mechanics of creating and sustaining a business as a photographer
- production – studio set-up, lighting, innovative techniques
- navigating the legal intricacies of publishing (copyright, licensing, royalties)
Am I An Accomplished Photographer?
As an accomplished photographer, you are a full-time photographer and you rely on your income from your craft.
You have a well-defined and recognizable style and display strong technical skills. You have approximately 10 years (or more) of dedication to your craft.
You may be teaching photography skills.
You worry about the risk of getting stagnant in your art growth by the distraction of commercial success
YOU’RE INTERESTED IN:
- Connecting your personal voice to your craft. Personal expression of how you feel about life, communicated in your own unique way. Challenging your motives: are you photographing from a place of passion, or due to pressure?
- Differentiate your work. Stand out from the crowd.
- Never stop pursuing excellence in your work. Hone the subtle nuances of technique and work in your unique voice.
