What I'd Do if I Was Starting My Photography Career From Scratch

It's getting to that time of year again when you realize the year has almost gone and you start reflecting back on what you've achieved.

Lately, I've been thinking about what I would do if I was starting my photography career from scratch.

To be honest, I kind of fell into photography by accident and ended up doing a 2-year diploma in photography. But looking back I think I would've done things differently.

Has having a diploma helped me in my career? Yes, at times. And maybe I wouldn't have got into the Air Force as a photographer without it. BUT I feel like experience, and learning from those who are where you want to be in your career might just be more valuable than spending 2 years learning in a classroom environment and playing by the rules.
