Becoming a Full-Time Photographer Before Age 25
Support me on Patreon!
On my birthday, I decided to tell the full story of how I realistically became a full time photographer. This is extremely personal for me, but when I was getting into the industry, I know it would’ve helped to hear what the journey of this profession was like. So here’s my sad attempt at trying to inspire somebody who wants to start a business, become an entrepreneur, or just take a leap of faith. This is what I went through, and what I’m sure many others go through to live a fulfilled life.
Dope!

Some people will never understand the journey or sacrifice that you have to go through to achieve what you want in life. Awesome video man

Damn dude, that gave me chills and shit ! I am turning 23 in 2 weeks. French filmmaker based in Lisbon, working full time for a company. Nothing related to video but I do my stuff on the side.

I'm a senior graduating from high school this year and this is the video I have been searching for. Jumpstarting me to choose a path that might not please my parents but it's worth it to me, thank you Daniel. I can do this!
I appreciate your vulnerability and the way you outline your journey. I just turned 20 and am attempting to do exactly as you did. In New York, every company wants someone with a BFA or BA in Photography. It's quite difficult being young and passionate while trying to make a living. This really inspired me!
