If you’re looking at your portfolio and sensing a few big holes, but there aren’t any jobs on the horizon to fill those gaps, don’t be afraid to begin by putting test shoots on the books. Some of my favorite images in my portfolio have come from unpaid, creative exploration shoots. One time, I carried a Corona bottle around with me at the beach, shot it, and put it up on Instagram. Of course, the hope is that Corona finds the shot and wants to hire me or buy the image, but even if they don’t (which they didn’t), it adds a little something new to my portfolio. No matter how new you are to commercial photography or how seasoned, you should always be doing exploratory shoots like this. The world isn’t always going to hand you the experience you need to get the job; sometimes you have to pencil that experience into your calendar on your own. In my commercial course with @ifimade_ I talk through how to create a commercial book (like a portfolio) and there's a whole chapter with a New York agent where he talks about what agents are looking for in a photographer and how to get yourself set up - super valuable info. Also, I know I keep saying it - but don't forget the sale price on both courses ends at midnight tonight! #ifimade
