I was reading the most recent issue of Rangefinder yesterday and loved the article featuring Matthew Jordan Smith.

The photographer road is not an easy one and so it is always nice to read articles on how other photographers have found success along the way.

Here is one quote that stuck out to me and I thought I would share:

“Success never happens the way we envision it, but it comes in unusual little blessings”.

In addition, he gave 3 pieces of advice to 21st century photographers. I’ll highlight them, but the article is great, so go read it when you get a chance.

- “Discover why you take pictures. Go deep inside and find your own vision. Stay true to your own vision. To be a photographer, you must first know who you are”.
- Enhance your business skills.
- “A photographer must take time to read and to think.”
