I wish I knew then – Burns Auto Parts

EPUK has a wonderful piece about what photographers wish they had known when they were starting out. Great insight for old pros and newbies alike.

Good article link, Leslie! And this bit of advice really bopped me over the head:

I wish I’d known early on it was unwise to accept lower fees from inferior titles on the basis that one is “learning” and will “move on to better things” soon. Either your work is good enough to command a proper fee, or it’s not worth publishing.

I’m in my rookie year of professional photographer-dom, and I’ve found that it’s best to limit the “learning” gigs to my own projects and to volunteer work. But even in these two areas, I only show my best work to others.
