If you try to be all things to all people, you will never rise to your greatest possibilities.\nCreating a high profile career in fashion and lifestyle photography is gratifying, but what it took from me to get there is\xa0the real gift.\n\nDuring the last ten years of creating this career, I\u2019ve learned a few things that might be useful to the up-and-comers. In this collection of episodes I break\xa0down the process that I used to make a living with my art.\xa0These tips go beyond my\xa0world of photography and\xa0transcend into any creative venture.\n\nThe lessons can be useful if you\u2019re into illustration, fashion design, fashion\xa0blogging, music, performing arts, writing or any other creative hustle. Think of it like the DNA of a\xa0creative professional. Think of it like\xa0the building blocks of inspiration.\n\nThis is the sixth\xa0installment of my 15 part series on how to make a career in art.\nYou\u2019ll discover more about yourself artistically the more you create.\n\nSome things we learn in this podcast:\n\n \tThe importance of developing a specific point of view [2:05]\n \tPeople want to see your artistic DNA [2:45]\n \tIf you want to play on a higher level, you have to create a style that people want [3:05]\n \tYour point of view will become your brand [3:45]\n \tFirst, create!
