In reply to Chad Alexander. Chad thank you very very much - I appreciate the comments! I am always trying to be as real as possible when I talk about my career, the industry, etc. People are often too afraid to put themselves out there like that and I see no reason why not to. So thanks a lot for that.

In reply to Chad Alexander. Thanks so much for listening to my podcast and for your awesome feedback Chad! I totally agree with Brian on these points. Having a passion for music and photography is a must, otherwise you'll get frustrated soon. If you want to make a living as a pro photographer you better diversify and try to get a stable income from your side projects.

Really great interview, a lot of great insights, getting yourself in the best position so when you make the jump to full time. I liked where Brian got a business line of credit to avoid the higher interest payments on a regular credit card.
What was the best part of the interview was 2 things where you could hear the passion in his voice about the interaction with Lady Ga Ga and the story behind the photo of her and Sting and how the book came about. The second thing from how in 2 year span his confidence had increased to go for jobs that in the previous two year time frame wasn’t something he would have considered. and lastly, diversify to help you during slow times from another revenue source, ie weddings, food, portraits,
