Tech Tip Tuesday:
So you want to be a professional ski, outdoor, car, fashion, travel, (fill in the blank) photographer or filmmaker? Buckle up its going to be a wild ride.
For the past 14 years I've made a living solely off of creating photographs and films for everyone from magazines to big companies to little start ups. And by far the most common email I get from fellow artists essentially boils down to 'I love shooting (fill in the blank), how can I do what you do'. And that's what this #techtiptuesday is all about. So here is a down and dirty (and all too short) 'guide' to sticking out from the crowd and starting a career in photography and filmmaking. •

1) Accept that there is no set path. If you are looking for a structured and tiered system. This life is not for you. I started out shooting for magazines. And if I were to start today I'd still shoot for magazines but I'd also pitch social stories to small brands I connect with. Starting small barely paid all my bills, but it gave me the freedom to shoot the people, places, and stories I wanted to capture.

2) It's easy to shoot an idea someone else has captured. 'Tunnel View' in Yosemite has been shot over a million times, literally, so if you are trying to 'make it' why go shoot the same subjects and perspectives everyone else has? Focus on the world you know best and rock that in a unique way. Find a fresh perspective. Define the future, don't copy the past. •

3) Have a god damn opinion. If everyone 'likes' your work, you're doing it wrong. The best artists are polarizing and that's awesome. This idea is more important than ever, in a world with millions of smartphones and cameras it's not hard to take a well exposed, in focus image of a beautiful place. It's how you see that beautiful person and place that will define your work. •
My buddy @pedromcbride, pictured here, has made a career of telling stories about the rivers, people, and issues of the the west... not too far from his own back yard. Most recently instead of rafting the Grand Canyon, like thousands of others have, he hiked the entire length of the river and documented his journey for @ナショナルジオグラフィック.
