THE BIG IDEAS

• Trust Your Unique Vision: Your personal style and point of view are your greatest assets. Embrace what makes your perspective different and pursue it with confidence.
• Be Persistent and Stay Open to Growth: Both your style and skills will evolve—continue learning, experimenting, and adapting rather than clinging to trends or getting discouraged by setbacks.
• Tell Stories That Matter: Strong photographs share authentic stories. Focus on images that carry emotional weight or meaning for you and your audience, not just technical perfection.
• Intention Over Imitation: Instead of following the crowd, be deliberate in what you create and share. Authenticity and clarity in your work stand out in a saturated space.
