The Evolution of Photography and Entrepreneurship: Insights from Thomas Edison

When it comes to photography, few people can rival the expertise and vision of CER Bron, arguably one of the great minds of Photography. However, if we were to take Bron out of his element and place him in the modern day, it's likely that he would struggle to keep up with the rapidly changing landscape of the medium. This is not a criticism of Bron or his skills as a photographer, but rather an acknowledgment of the fact that photography has undergone significant changes over the years.

The world of photography has changed dramatically since the 1960s and 1970s, when Bron was at the height of his career. The advent of new technologies, such as digital cameras and editing software, has transformed the way photographers work and the types of images they create. Furthermore, the rise of social media and online platforms has given photographers a global audience and a sense of community that was previously unimaginable.

However, despite these changes, some things remain constant. A passion for photography is still essential to success in this field. This is why it's so important to recognize one's own strengths and weaknesses as a photographer, and to approach the medium with an open mind and a willingness to learn. By doing so, photographers can stay ahead of the curve and adapt to the ever-changing landscape of the industry.

One example of how this applies in practice is my own journey into creating content around photography. When I started this show back in 2008, it was simply something I enjoyed doing as a hobby. However, as the audience grew and advertising became a possibility, it began to take on a life of its own. Suddenly, I found myself having to juggle deadlines, clients, and art directors – things that were previously outside my comfort zone. But instead of panicking, I recognized an opportunity to create something truly unique.

This experience taught me the importance of being willing to adapt and seize opportunities as they arise. For me, this meant embracing the unconventional nature of creating online video content around photography. It wasn't always easy – in fact, many people were skeptical about the idea at first. But I saw a chance to create something special, something that would allow me to share my passion for photography with others and explore topics that I was genuinely interested in.

Over time, this approach has paid off. The show has become a labor of love, with each episode carefully crafted to showcase different aspects of photography. Whether it's exploring the history of the medium, interviewing fellow photographers, or sharing tips and tricks for improving your own work, every aspect of the content is carefully considered.

Of course, this approach isn't without its challenges. The show has been a ton of work, with a significant price tag attached to it. But I've always believed that the rewards are worth it – there's something special about creating content that resonates with others, and sharing my passion for photography with a global audience.

This brings us to a key insight: most people don't recognize opportunities when they arise. They may be too busy, too comfortable, or simply too close-minded to see what could be achieved if they took a chance. But this is where the entrepreneurial spirit comes in – recognizing that there are often hidden opportunities waiting to be seized.

This is especially true in the world of photography, where competition can be fierce and traditional approaches may not always work. However, by embracing the unconventional and being willing to take risks, photographers can stand out from the crowd and achieve success on their own terms.

As Thomas Edison once said, "Most people don't recognize opportunities when they come dressed in overalls and look like work." This quote couldn't be more poignant in the context of photography. So often, we get caught up in our own comfort zones – whether that's through fear, laziness, or simply a lack of vision.

But the truth is, success is rarely achieved by those who are content to simply go through the motions. Rather, it's often the people who take risks, who seize opportunities as they arise, and who refuse to be constrained by conventional thinking that truly achieve greatness.

In conclusion, creating content around photography has been an incredible journey – one that has allowed me to explore my passion for the medium, connect with a global audience, and share knowledge and inspiration with others. By embracing the unconventional and being willing to seize opportunities as they arise, photographers can stay ahead of the curve and achieve success on their own terms.

Ultimately, this is a message that resonates across many areas of life – not just in photography, but in business, entrepreneurship, and personal development. Whether you're looking to start a new venture or simply make a meaningful impact in your chosen field, recognizing opportunities and being willing to take risks are essential.

So the next time you find yourself feeling stuck or uncertain about what's possible, remember Thomas Edison's wise words: most people don't recognize opportunities when they come dressed in overalls and look like work. But with courage, determination, and a willingness to think outside the box, anything is truly possible.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwe have a question from Dave today and Dave writes hey Ted wanted to say thanks for the latest series of shows concerning photography degrees not working for free and how to get experience you haven't yet addressed the burning question though how do you get work I currently work a day job that pays the bills but I would rather be doing what I'm passionate about I know the pro market is competitive but it can't be impossible to break into I've shot a few events and some small portrait sessions so I have some experience to play off of but how do photographers take the next step into the professional Market keep up the great work on the show Dave Dave you have asked the mother of all questions this is the uh probably the most asked question in the world of anybody who has ever thought about entering the photography Market as a profession and it is tough as we all know and I want I want to be very real about what we talk about today and some of it is not easy to hear but at the same time I do want to be encouraging as well so hang with me a little bit as I try to go through this um I also want to give a disclaimer up front I make my living doing this show so I don't make my living right now as a photographer in the traditional sense of clients and service based relationships I have done freelance work before it's been a while I did that for about 7 years and then I left after doing seven years I started working at the Dallas Museum of Art and I was there full-time for the next seven years and I was head of digital media which included doing both photography and video and I had an in-house job is typically what we call that and I left that in July of last year to do this show full-time and that's where I am today so just as a disclaimer I don't make my my living in that traditional sense but I want to come back around to that cuz that kind of is part of my answer to this question I think but I want to be realistic about this and very realistic because photography as we all know is tough and some of you may know Brian Richmond who leaves comments on the videos every now and then Brian is a friend of mine uh he teaches at the University of North Texas we've talked about this before in fact he left a comment one of the recent videos that you that Dave made a mention to in here um about how realistic this is because he sees it at the college level and I looked for some hard number data on this and I had trouble coming up with with anything but if you think about just for a second how many universities there are in the world that have an arts program that have something where somebody can study photography and there are a lot um if you combine that with how many community colleges there are all over the world how many two-year trade schools there are across the world and then how many students are in all of those schools who graduate every year that is the competition that is the brand new competition that comes in every year some of these people make it only very few and I I know that's kind of daunting but then also you realize how many people probably realize you don't have to have a degree and they drop out and try and do it that way and that's even more people that come into this so there's a huge influx there's an article that I found on aig's website um and they were talking about you know what is the problem is it too many people or is it they're not equipped with the correct skills that they need and they have a very good point with that but the real problem is the diminishing opportunities that are out there and I'll talk about that in a second too because this business is changing constantly and so that's kind of what you're up against and you most people people don't realize that being a photographer and having wonderful skills at photography and being a business person and being successful running a business are two completely different things and when you run photography as a business there's all these other things you have to do that don't have anything to do with creativity or taking pictures or working in Lightroom or doing traditional work or anything I mean it's all pounding on doors trying to find new clients trying to sell your work competing with other photographers uh trying to deal with getting paid sometimes trying to deal with all those things to come along with running a business I don't think it's something you necessarily need to go get a business degree to learn but I don't think people are realistic about needing that skill set when they come out and they realize that it's not a lot of fun and they really don't have the stomach for it and that's why so many people do not become photographers it's a brutal business um if you consider how things were before the end of the 1980s that was different too uh back then there was an enormous amount of work being done corporations would do annual reports they would do brochures and there were a ton of photog photographers back in the 7s and ' 80s that made their living doing travel photography for brochures and annual reports annual reports were a big one um you couldn't just go download a picture of an oil rig in Thailand you had to go shoot it and they had to send somebody out there to do it and along in the 1980s came a few people who figured out how to do a business for stock photography and this changed everything because somebody now doesn't have to hire photographer and send them across the globe and pay them a bunch of money they can now go to a stock website where there already is that image that they need for whatever it is they can download for $30 and they're done and that's good business certainly but it definitely has killed the photography Market on a commercial level in a major way and it's really sad to see this the opportunities are seriously diminishing out there and there's an influx of people that think they want to do this and think they can do it and that's kind of where this friction starts happening on the professional World anyway one thing I want to say this and you said it can't be impossible in here Dave said that in his email and you're right it's not impossible I have several friends who are doing very well and I kind of want to talk about that for a minute and what they're doing um my friend Wade who I did a podcast that was an audio thing for a while called the photography show with he's a very successful photographer he's doing wonderful in his career uh he shoots mainly architectural work so what he has done is he's found an Avenue of something that is not going to be replaced by a stock image that he can break into working with Architects and and firms when they finish a building they need to have pictures taken for their portfolio and Wade will go do that um and so he's found a niche in that that is possible and I think that's a really important thing to go for um another friend of mine Dave wove who I met because he was a fan of the show and I met him in the UK a couple years ago when I met him he was in a similar position that this email is where he both Named Dave it was not the same Dave but he had a position where he he did not like his day job he was pulling his hair out and he decided he wanted to be a photographer for a living and he's doing it he even remodeled his home studio I turned his garage into into a photo studio and he's amazing he does really cool things and so it can be done people are doing it and I think what you have to realize though is everything in life my dad used to say this when I was a kid and I it's stuck with me ever since everything in life comes with a price tag the question is are you willing to pay that price to get to what you want to do and by Price he doesn't mean money uh price can be something like time it can be uh hustling it can be jumping through hoops it can be dealing with politics sometimes it can be all the things that stand between you and what it is you want to do sometimes it's understanding that you're not going to make a lot of money and you're going to starve for a while those are the prices we pay to do things in life and it's really important to step back and look at what the price is to pay for whatever it is that you want to do what do you want to go into as a photographer uh and finding people that are willing to hire you to do that it sounds simple it's not it's really hard but you have to be realistic about what that price is if you're realistic about that and that price is still worth paying it's something that you're going to be passionate about and be happy about then by all means you're probably in the right place to do it but I don't think a lot of people are very honest about that and the reason that I'm kind of being you know giving you the dark answer on here that's traditionally given is because it's really hard to encourage people to do this there have been several lawsuits lately with smaller trade schools in California I won't say who but there were some instances where recruiters were basically telling people hey if you major in photography here our graduates earn this price level a year doing work here and here and here so they were off offering placement in the job field but also salaries connected to it these people should have run the other way a school can't promise that they have no idea they don't know and that's the really hard part about this now having said all that I think there is a positive side to this too and this is the advice that I want to give you guys today and I want to talk about redefining possibilities I want to give a quick shout out to our sponsor real fast and then when we come back I want to talk about how to redefine possibility I want to take a second and give a shout out to our sponsor today who are the awesome folks over at quickbooks.com if you are a small business owner like I am or if you're

software and they now have plans that are tailored specifically to Freelancers and small business owners for a low monthly fee you can track all of your income sort your expenses between personal and

employed.com aop and start your free trial today that link once again is TR selfemployed docomo and I want to give a special shout out and thanks once again to the folks at QuickBooks for sponsoring another another episode of The Art of Photography I want to talk about the concept of redefining possibilities because I think this is important and I think it's the key to a lot of this when you think about possibilities and from a professional standpoint as a photographer what possibilities are out there what Avenues you could go after about pursuing a career a lot of these possibilities we think of are built on pretty Antiquated models hence the the the business shrinking and the market shrinking and less room for more people a lot of there was a way that photographers made money in the 1980s that has changed now you know you don't a client or an agency doesn't fly a photographer generally around the world uh to shoot a oil Derek in Thailand when they can go get a stock image that business has changed uh and I think that holds true for the 1970s and the 60s and the 50s I mean if you take hre CER Bron who is arguably one of the great minds of Photography and you took him out of his element and put him in the modern day sometimes I wonder if you would even know who he was and that is nothing to say against him or his skills as a photographer but this is a different world and it's a whole different place and we do things differently and shooting the way he shot and the market that he shot with it could be a whole different story if because he was a person of his time and it's really important that we recognize that and I realized that moving forward is hard I realize that the future and what the unknown is difficult and that's okay too and I hate the word entrepreneurial but it is important to think in those terms and I'll give you an example and I told you I'd come back around to this but right now I'm doing the show for a living and a lot of that was by design and a few years ago you know when I started this it was just to do something fun and as I got an audience and eventually got advertising cuz I had some expenses associated with it and it started turning into a business I recognized that there was a possibility there now have I arrived at this am I screamingly successful in making millions of dollars no I'm not but I'm really happy doing what I'm doing right now and I'm making it happen and it's possible but I realized that there was a very unconventional career path of doing online video on photography back in 2008 and it's not that un usual today there are other photography channels and other people who are doing what I'm doing here but I realized that was a possibility and for me it's great because all the things that I love about photography I get to do I get to take pictures of whatever it is I'm interested in I don't have deadlines necessarily I can talk about photography I can share my passion for the history of photography I can talk about photographers I can do interviews with people it's all up to me and it's a complete creative direction from my standpoint I don't work with art directors I don't work with clients and those are things that I didn't always hate but I liked them less than being able to do what I do now and so I was able to see an opportunity there for something that was very unconventional in fact it was really weird the first time I started telling people that I was going to consider doing this for a living they're like you're going to do what for a living you can do that you know I mean it was really different and unconventional and so it's important to start looking at other avenues that are possibilities as well and that's just one example um of what how I'm able to Leverage What I'm passionate about and be able to do something something with it and I think that's what everybody has to look for and I think that's really really important I'm going to end with this because I think this is one of my favorite quotes of all time and um I actually heard this this is a quote from Thomas Edison and I heard Johnny B use the quote when I heard him speak one time and it's interesting because he was talking it deals with opportunities and recognizing them when they come around and Edison once said that most people don't recognize opportunities because they come dressed in overalls and look like work repeat that most people don't recognize opportunities when they come along because they come dressed in overalls and they look like work and that that couldn't be more truthful um sometimes there's a possibility to do something but most of the competition that you're going to have out there is pretty lazy don't be lazy yourself recognize the opportunities and work at them I wasn't handed this show this has been a ton of work there was a huge price tag that came with this and I've been willing to do it because I'm happy doing it and that's what the key is and I had an opportunity there and was willing to do the work and and you can do it too I think anyone can do it most people don't so that's where I'm going to end it if you guys

overalls and they look like work and that that couldn't be more truthful um sometimes there's a possibility to do something but most of the competition that you're going to have out there is pretty lazy don't be lazy yourself recognize the opportunities and work at them I wasn't handed this show this has been a ton of work there was a huge price tag that came with this and I've been willing to do it because I'm happy doing it and that's what the key is and I had an opportunity there and was willing to do the work and and you can do it too I think anyone can do it most people don't so that's where I'm going to end it if you guys enjoyed this video please remember to like it and share it with your friends and as always subscribe to the Art of Photography for more updates all the latest
