In this episode of How To Become A, Grace sits down with multi-hyphen creative Timi to uncover how he built a career as both a film photographer and DJ, without following a traditional path.

From shooting campaigns and newspaper features to DJing in front of 80,000 people at Twickenham Stadium, Timi shares how networking, authenticity, and genuinely loving what you do can open unexpected doors.

We dive into:

• How he turned a disposable camera into paid photography work
• Shooting England rugby captain Maro Itoje for The Times
• Photographing Emma Raducanu for Vodafone
• Becoming a resident DJ for Saracens and performing at major stadiums
• Why having a unique style matters more than formal training
• How to price yourself as a creative
• The power of putting your work out there

Timmy’s journey proves you don’t need one fixed dream, just passion, consistency, and the courage to ask.

If you’ve ever wondered how to turn creativity into a career, this episode is for you.
