I’m talking to you, the photographer / creative sitting at their very expensive Mac computer and Googling things like “how to get a photography agent.” Stop waiting for someone to “recognise your potential” and offer to represent you.

You Need to start taking responsibility for your own career.

You need to get up off your ass and learn how to raise your own public profile.

I see this a lot in the creative industry these days. No one seems to understand that as a freelance creative you are a business… Your art is your product and/or service (depending on how you deliver it to the client / end user).

Learn what an agent would be doing for you in order to raise your profile and get you work and start doing it! Here’s a hot tip too guys, agents are looking for partners in their efforts! They don’t want some reclusive unsellable artist, why want someone that has a profile they can build upon and who will continue to build that profile with their help!
