Faking it...

I read an article here this week and thought it was interesting enough to post here on the blog. I have been one that is not naturally self assured. I am not cocky and narcissistic. However I do want to be better this year at self promotion. So I think a part of that comes with being self confident in my work and my abilities as a photographer.

Graduating from college is one of the scariest things, because now you can't hide behind the title of student, you have to go out and make a career for yourself. So I think this is where faking it comes in. No I don't have a long list of clients that i have shot for. However, how does a fresh faced newly graduated photographer convince potential clients to give me the job...fake it. Don't fake that you have skills that you don't, just fake the confidence. I especially needed to hear this and implement this into my life. Have a book that shows your talent, and fake the confidence that matches the talent of your book. Confidence is key. If you don't have it yet, fake it until you do.
