Photographer
I am an award winning sport, landscape, and portrait photographer.
As a freelancer, I have to actively go out to find jobs and clients so that I can keep getting paid. I travel a lot because my jobs and clients take me all over the world. Every day and every job is different. A project usually starts by meeting with a client to go over the creative brief and establish what they are looking for and go over terms of our contract. The goal is to always do a great job so that they become a repeat client which makes business easy.
Here's the first step for high school students
Master the craft. Nowadays with the technology we have available, people have started calling themselves photographers even though they don't know how to manually expose or focus a camera. Learn the basic skills and understand the intricacies of a camera. Don't hesitate to reach out to people that you admire in your field of interest to get their advice and mentorship.
