Description:

This week, what it’s like being freelance for London based photographer Tom Miles.

Here’s some of the key takeaway points:

  • Connections matter; stay in touch

  • It’s a freelance obligation to do work that you care about: if you don’t like a client, don’t work for them

  • Seek honest opinions on your work when building your portfolio

  • To get dream jobs? Look at your portfolio, look at where you want to be and bridge the gap yourself

  • ‘Become your own mentor’: log your creative process; build on successes & avoid repeating mistakes

  • The key to your 'personal brand' is essentially how professional you are: act with integrity, do the job you agree to at the price and timescale they expect and that is the essense of your brand
