We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Eddie Daniels a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Eddie thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Before we get into specifics, let’s talk about success more generally. What do you think it takes to be successful?
To achieve success in my career as a professional photographer, I firmly believe in a multifaceted approach. Over the past 8 years in the industry, I have consistently invested time and effort into honing my craft, embracing the evolving digital landscape by establishing a strong presence on social media platforms. My dedication extends beyond creative endeavors, as I understand the importance of consistently posting engaging content to maintain a relevant and dynamic online presence. Hard work has been a cornerstone of my journey, ensuring that each project receives the attention and creativity it deserves. Additionally, I recognize the value of self-investment, whether through acquiring new skills, staying updated on industry trends, or participating in workshops and courses. This holistic commitment to both artistic and business aspects, coupled with a strong work ethic, has been instrumental in my pursuit of success as a professional photographer.
