You Can Be Both Creative and Successful as a Photographer
You know what drives me mad? This idea that you can’t be both creatively fulfilled and financially successful as a fashion photographer.
For a long time, I believed it myself. I thought I had to choose:
Get paid to shoot work that felt... boring.
Or take photos I loved, but do it for free.
No middle ground, no win-win. And honestly? That belief made me start to resent my own clients, even though it was never their fault.
I Didn’t Become a Photographer to Feel Bored on Set
I became a photographer to create work I’m proud of. Work that lights me up. Work that matters, to me and to the people I work with. So a few years ago, I made a decision:
I would only build a portfolio around the kind of work I truly wanted to create.
I would stop guessing what brands wanted and start showing my vision.
I would pitch my style to the right clients — the ones who were already looking for it.
And guess what? It worked. Like, really worked.
This Isn’t Just My Story
I’ve seen the same shift happen for so many of my students. The moment they stop waiting to be chosen, and start curating their creative directio, everything changes.
They book better clients, they shoot work they’re actually proud to post and they make money without burning out.
That transformation? It’s the entire ethos behind The Success Studio.
