Imaging USA 2024 with Taylor Jackson - Taylor Brumfield - Cris Duncan

#444 In today's episode of the podcast, I chat with photographers Taylor Jackson, Taylor Brumfield, and Cris Duncan at Imaging USA 2024 hosted in Louisville. In this lightning round style interview we discuss finding motivation, networking, balancing passion and patience, and the value of self-care and personal connections in photography.

THE BIG IDEAS

1. Balance Passion with Patience: Prioritize building your resume and portfolio over following your passion initially, and be patient in pursuing your passion.
2. Value Personal Connections: Personal interaction is crucial for growth in photography – seek support and attend industry events for connection and learning.
3. Transform Challenges into Triumphs: Overcome creative ruts by engaging in non-photography-related creative activities and forming genuine relationships with subjects.
4. Effective Marketing through Networking: Networking is a key marketing strategy in photography. Building meaningful connections leads to referrals and repeat clients.
