I started practicing photography more often and created my portfolio.
I contacted photo editors of travel magazines and scheduled portfolio reviews.
I started a travel blog to show more of my stories and photos.
I got assignments from travel magazines.

Day to Day
Typical work day when I'm on assignment includes location scouting, co-ordinating time of shoot with a contact person, always communicating what the clients wants and time of shooting. After the shoot I usually go back to my computer to download my pictures and do a back up. I do a rough edit, I mark the best images. If needed, I send them to the client to get some feedback.
