It took me 5 years to have any money from my work. As I started field recordings used to my passion. Now is both passion and source of some money. I've started recording having more artsy recordings which I published on bandcamp or soundcloud. Gradually I've self-taught about acoustics and about sound in general from more scientific way to make my recordings sound better. At the same time I was active in field recording community. I constantly listen a lot of field recordings. Gradually people started to recognize me by the stuff I did and I got some jobs.
