Following your passion for photography

We’ve always had a passion for something. When you think you’re not following your passion, take a step back. Think about the time when you were a child or a teenager. What were you passionate about back then? What made you happy? 

It might be incredibly difficult to find out your passion. But you can always start with doing something you like. What made you interested in that? It can be reading landscape photography books or traveling in a van. It’s always best to reconnect to your past to find out what you’re really passionate about. 

Another thing about passion is that it can be the effect you give on people. Maybe you’re passionate about helping other photographers. Or inspire women to become successful like you. 

Connect your passion to your photography business. Surely your business will grow because you love what you’re doing. 

What Margaret wants you to know

Landscape photography can still be a profitable business if you know how to work your way through it. Sell some prints, promote your brand on your social media, and connect with other online communities. You can check out the Creative Festival and connect with other photographers.
