Coming to you from Jiggie Alejandrino, this excellent video tutorial discusses five common traits of successful photographers. Perhaps the most common trait I notice among the photographers I admire the most is a never-ending desire to keep learning and growing. And really, that is the beauty of any artistic pursuit: there is always additional room to learn a new technique or to experiment with a new idea. This is one of the reasons so many professionals advocate so strongly for always carving out time and resources for personal projects, as the ideas you explore and the images you create in those moments will be what help you to develop a unique and ever-evolving creative voice that sets you apart from the competition and attracts new clients. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Alejandrino.
