Here's some advices from Professional Photographers for young amateurs:
Kim Høltermand: I say always believe in what you do. Stay true to your talent. It is your gift – believe in it. Even though some people won’t like your work, there will be some others that will like your work. Experiment. Don’t be sorry if you won’t succeed the first time you submit your work to some forum or competition – maybe the success awaits the second time you submit. Keep your creative juices flowing. And even if this may sound cliché this quote from Mr. Walt Disney has followed me since my childhood – «if you can dream it, you can do it».
Eric Lafforgue: My advice is double: do what you like, as photography, if you want to become a pro, requires a lot of work: legend, tags, keywords, stories etc… It’s a full time job: so do what you like to enjoy.
And also: do not think just art if you wan to earn your life, but try to find something new in the way of shooting, places unknown… think also marketing, as there is no choice in a world competition!
Arielle Nadel: Be confident and learn to take charge. When you’re behind the camera, your subjects want you to give orders because they want YOU to lead them as much as they want to obey your directions to please you, the photographer. Get that and you earn respect.
