Interview

“I always try to keep my mind active: meeting new people, going to new places, listening to different kinds of music and in general, doing as many new things as possible. This way the inspiration comes by itself, this input I’m constantly having gives me inspiration to create constantly.”

“I’m still young and can’t claim to be an expert on life, but I firmly believe you should never stop learning!”

“Time-lapse is one part I focus on, drone work another, and there is so much more. It’s fun to combine technology with creativity and try to get the shot you imagined. Technology helps me to get better, to challenge myself even more. The better the quality of equipment gets, the better the composition has to be to match on the same level.”

“Participating in a contest is like seeking confirmation and acknowledgment for your work. And some of the contests will create huge publicity campaigns on the biggest media around the world which can generate some great opportunities.”

“The hardest part of any job is getting started. And if it seems huge, you just need to divide it into small parts. That way, everything will seem less overwhelming. Keep Calm and Carry On!”

“I like interacting with people but at the same time I feel that social media is also very valuable commercially. Even the platforms where I don’t have many followers I often post content, simply because everyone who can see your images is an extra potential client.”

“I think that for people struggling with anxiety or feeling overwhelmed taking a break and going for a walk in nature, unplugging from technology and having a literal breath of fresh air can absolutely help. It is not a replacement for seeking professional help when needed but it can help a lot.”

“Finally, I would say to always keep the client in the loop and be nice. I quite often overdeliver to show that I really do my best at all times and want to build a good relationship. Being clear and sincere about what the client can expect and delivery on time is of course super important too!”

“If you make amazing work, the people will follow. No amount of hashtag research and feature page pursuits will help grow your page if you don’t master your skills and creativity!”
