When did you know the photography/video industry was for you?  When I saw Ron Fricke’s ‘Baraka’ in 1999 How did you get your current position? How did your training or schooling prepare you for your job?  A lot of knocking on doors, emails, phone calls, and putting myself in the right place until ‘luck’ came along.  Self-discipline. At college you make it to class, pass your tests, have a job –  and make it to all of those come hell or high water, otherwise, you drop out and go broke.     What was the greatest obstacle you had to overcome in pursuing your career?  The greatest obstacle I had to overcome was…

        When did you know the photography/video industry was for you? I started working with my Dad taking pictures when I was very young, probably 8 years old. He was working as a motorsports journalist/photographer and took me along to all the races… karting, NASCAR, ChampCar, F1 and historic events. He just handed me one of his cameras and said “go shoot this or that”. As I got older and persisted in all kinds of weather, some of the other photographers became friends and would teach me techniques and even lend me lenses to try. How did you get your current position? I work as a freelance photographer so I…

When did you know the photography/video industry was for you? Since I was a teenager. I started taking pictures off of a Canon rebel (film, of course!) that my Dad bought for me when I was 14. He was a professional photographer, painter and sculptor on the side of his first career. His father before him worked in various mediums as well as my maternal grandfather who was an art teacher, photographer and sculptor. My brother and several cousins are photographers and artists of many mediums. It seems like it was just in my blood to love it.   How did you get your current position? Currrently, I work several jobs in photography…

When did you know the photography/video industry was for you? I had an interest in photography from a fairly young age (before digital cameras) and was fortunate enough to take a class when I was about 10  (circa 1982). I still remember the smell of developing chemicals. Anyhow, flash forward to when I started my blog, in 2008. I admired other bloggers’ photos and really took an interest in honing my own photography skills.   How did you get your current position? Well, I am a Mom-blogger, so I thank my husband for the first part (making me a Mom), and the blogging I jumped in and did that myself (with my husband’s…

When did you know the photography/video industry was for you? In High School, I began shooting rock concerts and got totally hooked. I later got involved working in the studio and moved into fashion. I guess my first real job was in the late seventies, shooting a monthly fashion editorial for The Aquarian Magazine and later working with Elite Models. How did you get your current position? Oddly enough my schooling and training came later on, I’m a big time do it yourselfer and a firm believer in learning by doing. I learned to do alot on my own, and got some really good results, I later began taking photography courses ay NYU…

  When did you know the photography/video industry was for you? I still don’t know that! When in high school, photography became a way for me to tell stories so I started to carry a camera with me all the time. I still do that. How did you get your current position? Working very, very hard 24/7/365. It’s our own company so you’re on all the time to keep the ball moving forward. How did your training or schooling prepare you for your job? It really didn’t. There are little things every now and then I can attribute to school help but the majority of the lessons come from life. What was the…
