How I accidentally became a professional portrait photographer

I never set out to become a professional photographer. It just kind of happened through a series of unplanned and unexpected events starting with a 1am Reddit post. Life's weird like that sometimes.

It's so interesting what can happen when you put yourself out there. Love this!

1000%, Jess! It's somewhat terrifying to put yourself out there and it's very easy to give yourself entirely sane and rational reasons why you shouldn't. (Which I'm going through working on my next video.) But there's also a tonne to be gained and loads of interesting people to meet by putting work out there and seeing who it resonates with :)

So awesome man! Best of luck.
P.s i miss the days of us shooting around Sydney and the south coast.

[@tristan_viney]

Me too, man! Those shooting day trips we used to take in and around Sydney were so much fun.

This is a fantastic. You are guaranteed a story out of this. Either a success story about an unlikely path to a career or a cautionary tale that will lead to your next adventure. And right now it's an inspiring story. Keep us updated since you asked - good luck.
