How to Get Noticed as a Photographer in 2020

Getting noticed as a photographer in 2020 can seem like an impossible task with all of the millions of images being uploaded daily, but here are some proven tips that will work.

Before watching this video and being utterly disappointed, this is not a quick fix and I don't believe that there is one out there unless you have obscene natural talent of the likes that the world has not seen before. Assuming you have just got to grips with manual settings and nailing flash, you are probably looking at 2028 to 2030 before you produce any work of real note. Not to say that you wont take good photos along the way, but it takes time to get there. 

If that hasn't put you off completely, then this video goes over how to get noticed in the modern photography world, looking at what is important and what really doesn't matter. From knowing how to follow trends whilst remaining original with your own perspective and point of view through to how to use social media correctly for your goals rather than just to gather likes and follows. 

I then go on to talk about how I approached ad agencies and agents over the last decade and at which point they started to take note of me as a photographer. 

The internet is a great place, but a lot pf photographers have been led to believe that you can get good in just a few years, where as the reality is that it takes many years of hard work to even get a rejection letter.
