3. BUILD YOURPORTFOLIO BY
TAKING DIFFERENT KINDS
OF PORTRAITPHOTOS
Portrait photos that are professional and
sellable fall into a few categories: headshots,
shots of business professionals, lifestyle images
(think models posing against brick walls or at
zoos) and fine art. One way to build your
portfolio is to explore each category because
you'll gain exposure to different types of
photography and people.
4. CREATE YOUR
OWN STYLE
Itis so important to develop your own unique
style. Your art should be an extension of yourself
and if you are trying to emulate another artist,
then it takes away from who you are as anartist.
Don’t get me wrong, looking at other artist’swork
can be extremely helpful! Artists often talk about
studying or paying attention to other artists they
admire
5. DO WHAT YOU
LOVE
It’sa cliché, but it’s true: Do what you love and
you won’t worka day in your life. Why?Because
passion willcarry you when things get tough, it
willfuel your motivation and keep you moving
forward instead of bogging down. The biggest
mistake people make is to not follow their
passion at all; just because something is
popular or lucrative doesn’t mean it is right for
you. If you find yourself doing something that
turns your stomach
6. KEEP TRYING
SOMETHING
NEW
When Casey first started, He tried many
different genres of art and projects. Itwas
important to him to try as many different
types of styles as possible so that when
something came along that really
inspired him, it would be easy to just
jump into it.Trying new things is what
keeps you growing and improving! Don’t
be afraid to branch out andexperiment.
7. INSPIRE
OTHERS!
it’s good to let other people knowhow
much an artist means toyou.
Inspiration can be found in all sortsof
places, so if one source isn’t working
try looking elsewhere! For example,
might study watercolour paintings on
Flickr or listen to how-to podcasts on
YouTube. There are endless resources
online!
