It has been a couple of months since I’ve talked about photography and the business side of it. For the most part, I’ve been busy trying to figure out my avenues and the best way possible to be who I want in this type of business.
The Process
I didn’t think it was going to take me nearly two months to figure out why I liked photography over everything else besides writing. I think it was because it is something that I think about daily and the only thing that I’m doing right now is trying to get better and learn everything I can possibly can.
The other thing that I was concerned about was making some type of business around it. Many people will frown at this notion of making a hobby a profession. I wrestled with this for sometime because I don’t want this to be a chore or a regret. So, I told myself to think about the photographers I liked, to get into my head to figure out which direction I wanted to go in with everything.
I was talking to my brother a couple of months ago and mentioned to him that I wanted to do something big with the photography, to be the Anthony Bourdain of photography. He quickly got interested. We haven’t talked about it yet today, but that though stuck with me. I thought how I can make that possible. What were the best ways I can angle myself in that respect. However, something did catch my attention, which was to combine writing with photography. It seemed far fetched, but I kept digging deeper in my thoughts.
