Sustaining a Successful Career in Photography with Vanessa Joy
#384 Vanessa Joy is a successful photographer who understands the importance of humility and learning from others. Despite her talent and accomplishments, she still feels a bit of jealousy and impostor syndrome when looking at the work of other photographers. However, rather than letting these feelings hold her back, Vanessa takes them as a sign that she needs to push herself further and improve her skills. She sees giving credit where it's due as a way to reset her mind and keep herself from becoming complacent. Vanessa Joy is a true inspiration for anyone who wants to excel in photography.
In this episode we delve into the subject of staying power and how to maintain a long-lasting career in photography.
THE BIG IDEAS
- Recognize Setbacks as Growth Opportunities: Feeling burnout or jealousy is normal—use it as motivation to improve and not as a reason to stop.
- Balance Trends with Personal Style: It’s okay to try new styles, but staying true to your unique photographic voice leads to longevity, not just popularity.
- Learn Through Observation: Don’t just pose; watch and connect with your subjects for genuinely expressive images.
- Build Relationships for Success: Prioritizing relationships with clients and vendors is more sustainable for your photography career than focusing solely on traditional marketing.
