I’m ONLY a Photographer
February 14th, 2009 | Personal, Seminars & Workshops“I can’t afford this. I don’t have to do this. I’m just a photographer” …not a doctor, lawyer, architect, engineer, not the son from a wealthy family. Therefore…
I don’t need to educate myself
I don’t need to present myself professionally
I don’t need link/network
I don’t need to join & get involved with a professional body (slapping a logo on the website alone does not count!)
Maybe that is why a lot of photographers grossly undercharge because we have such shoddy self-image that we are telling our clients that we worth only pittance.
While a puffed up and over inflated self-image stinks, a lowly one is just as bad. The great thing that has happened to me in WPPI is how it reminded again, that my dream, art and business can be as big as I want it to be. They are limited only by the size of my dream. When this convention is over, it’s time to put my dreams to work.

I have always believe in this particular saying: “It may you fate to be born poor, but it is not your fate to stay poor.”
