What is important for aspiring professional

Bryan Peterson through his books “Learning to See Creatively: Design, Color & Composition in Photography” (A very important book for beginner and intermediate photographers) gives some advice to photographers that want to be professional someday.

He said:

1. Constantly striving to look at the world from new vantage points
2. Consistently employing fresh points of view with all of your lenses
3. Always, always thinking of ideas that, when put on film/digital camera, demonstrate your skills at visual problem solving (Unlike video, you need to tell story in only 1 image).

Some advices:

1. Do what you do-and do it well- and you’ll have plenty of competition
2. Do what you do-and do it better than most-and you’ll command an audience
3. Do what you do-and do it better than anyone else-and you’ll have the world at your doorstep
