Running a photography business can often feel like a solitary journey, and if you're not careful, it can take a toll on your career.
I'm aware of the challenges that come with this profession and the critical importance of self-care. That's why I've created a video sharing my personal experiences and the strategies that keep me thriving.
At the heart of my approach is what I like to call the "Success Triangle." This three-point framework not only keeps me grounded but also empowers me to excel in various facets of life, manage my emotions, and ensure the growth of my business.
The first point of this triangle is all about having faith in myself, just as major brands invest in their vision, and consumers place trust in the products they buy to meet their needs.
The second point is a unique perspective – seeing everyone through the lens of innocence. I accomplish this by using baby photographs as contact images for people in my phone. This simple act allows me to hit pause when faced with work emergencies, take a breath, and remind myself that each individual is on a journey of growth, learning, and inherent innocence.
Lastly, there's the crucial investment aspect of the triangle. While many photographers often focus on upgrading their equipment, I emphasize investing in your business with time and money. It's vital to remember that it's not just the gear, but the person behind the camera that truly makes the difference.
By embracing the Success Triangle, you can nurture your career, your well-being, and your creativity, ensuring that you not only survive but thrive in the demanding world of photography business.
