I have to flatter myself this time. I just moved to the step 4 because I felt I should move on from the colaborations with NEW MODELS and I actually started creating editorials and I realized I have to build a team. I have to say Im glad I did it by myself and this video confirms I am on the good path. Big thanks to you Ian, you are a big support. And Im sorry for everyone reading this, it is more for me than for others. Wish you all good luck, keep chasing the dream, we will make it!

Short, sweet and simple! Finally some no-nonsense advice.

Love the minimal list of famous fashion photographers, missed out most of the best, but included the most hyped.

This is what is great about youtube. Sometimes you have an idea but don't know how to move forward but you have an idea... Then you go to youtube and find that some younger, smarter, more beautiful person has already done it better than you ever will. AND the greatest part is that they will share their knowledge with you in a user-friendly, non judgmental way that makes you feel like you have a chance at making your dream a reality. One million thanks!

You are awesome Mr Ian. I've had several false starts in this industry. The "Keep Going" resonated with me. This summer, after being totally burned out, I had to stop completely and pull back to rest and take 3-4 months off. Now I realize that I'm pretty much having to start again from scratch.

Incredibly helpful video. Rarely do I actually come across videos like this that truly guide you instead of providing vague and generic outlines that skip a massive amount of steps. Looking forward to checking out the rest of your channel

I will add that it takes time, hard work, dedication and TALENT!! there is no magic pill you can swallow to become a photographer!! It’s not enough to be technically good. You will need to be innovative, have heart and passion for making images. Not just from a business stand point.

This was exactly to the point 👌🏻 Thank you a lot for your advice. Moving on to step 3 in 5 months hope this goes well 🤞🏻🥺

I work consistently in the industry. Your video is the most on-point for how it's done. Good job

[kefkapalazzo]

ive been shooting for a year and a half. so many shoots so many models. finally ready to get my portfolio out

[NicholasSpeaks]

The video a lot of people needed. Thank you!

[jimjimgl]

Great breakdown of the industry. Of course after all of this a person still needs talent and that cannot be taught.

[mariamikhno]

Ian, thanks a lot for your support and your help. I am really inspired by you. You makes me keep going, don't give up, do my best. And actually I have a little wish, one day work with you on studio as a photographer and gaffer. Thanks !
