In the first part of this riveting 2-part interview, photographer Elizabeth Messina shares how she evolved from being too shy for photos to confidently teaching others about her craft. She believes successful photography businesses start with creating excellent work you're proud of, not just clever marketing.

Key Takeaways:


Start with good work: Build your business on photography you actually love, not just marketing tactics


Growing confidence takes time: Overcoming shyness and learning to trust your vision


Balance art with client needs: Serve clients while still making time for your own creative work


Focus on what you control: During slow periods, improve your portfolio and skills instead of worrying about what's not working
