Best Foot Forward

Today has been spent sorting out my work area into less of a disaster and a calmer, more inspiring, space. I have more room around me to not feel hemmed in by detriatus, my PC is hooked up to a decent set of speakers for some background music… and the hifi is now linked up and accessable if I want to spin an LP. Everything is in it’s place (ish) and easy to grab and go!

This has helped with the feelings of positivity and drive to really build some relationships over the next couple of weeks and use my recent setbacks as a springboard to elevate my business and my game. I have been looking at the competitors work and, to be honest, it’s not that good. Most of my work has been, to date, towards the lower to mid end of the market. This type of property needs and deserves to be represented in it’s best light as does any other - and I hope to keep providing that service - but this isn’t where you make your name and build profile. Now it is time to move up the food chain both on stills and video.

I also need to spend time over the next couple of weeks building more into the art market, so this is going to be a priority. A couple of weeks won’t get me far, and this is an ongoing state for the rest of this year. I need to get out shooting, processing… getting into the darkroom… and really getting my feelers into the wider market.

So loads to do..

But today I am feeling positive! It usually takes me a little while when something knocks me off track to pull myself together - but I generally come back fighting and come back stronger than before. I really hope this is one of those occasions! Yes - positive… but still nervous!
