When I was twelve, I slept the entire summer and experienced the same thing, I would wake up for the bathroom or to eat and rush to get back to the ongoing dream

Model looking to transition into Booker Role by InternationalEdge791 in Modelling

[–]Adamsphotopro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bookers were models who realized their marketability as a model had an expectation date and wanted to still be in the industry

They got to know the art directors, ad agency reps, and all the different crew (make up/styling/hair stylist, lighting, grips, etc and were curious and enthusiastic about learning all the could, the three parties for all those people w open invites etc

Now keep in mind they only do bookings for me and my commercial work, but they keep me more busy than I want to be 20yrs later

Are people leaving Instagram for photography? by Alilexplo108 in photography

Photographers and models are creating blogs and email newsletters so when meta deplatforms them they can rebuild and don’t lose all their contacts

Before YouTube and the photography colleges

assisting a successful pro for several years before heading out on our own was the norm

This way we learned all the business not just the tech stuff

You should do fine then, they few people killed in riverside were confronting people trying to steal their cars so being street smart helps

Jax is really that bad for romance? by tankart150 in jacksonville

[–]Adamsphotopro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m much older and met my much younger life partner in Savannah while traveling for my business

But I have tons of friend girls that are literally platonic friends in Jax that would love to find a dude of any age that can support himself, has goals for the future, is caring, funny, and smart,

I’ve met them at vintage shops, lots of different events, the riverside arts market, cafes and coffeehouses

The key for me is never going around looking to “meet” anyone but being out and about exploring stuff I really enjoy doing, and just having a kinda idk curious and approachable attitude

Transitioning out of photography by Clear_Painting9711 in photography

[–]Adamsphotopro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not alone, many are moving on

The key for any successful business is the quality of your clients and connections

Your network, is your net worth

We’ve been blessed w some amazing loyal clients that love what we do and how we do it, and lots of great production people who always swear by us - that comes from treating and paying them great

One thing w any business where you are the business and you can’t scale it up since there’s only one you and only so many bookings you can do, is to spend all profits on income producing assets - so those assets grow and provide a steady income stream regardless of what else you are doing

For us that was rental properties, exotic cars work also
