Interview with CENTER director Laura Pressley

[projectbasho]

Are you waiting for a chance to take the next step in your career? There are organizations out there that are dedicated to helping emerging photographers launch their careers. We interviewed CENTER director Laura Pressley and talked with her about how photographers can get more opportunities for their work. CENTER is responsible for Review Santa Fe, which has helped photographers like Alec Soth, Julie Blackmon, and Hank Willis Thomas to name a few.

But honestly, there is no formula: everybody creates their own path by walking. Some people are great, nurturing educators; if so, teach to supplement your income. If you know web design, then build websites for people and incorporate photography well. If you can do event photography, do it. Piece your income together like many creative people do, from a variety of things.

I think that's the key thing, to do whatever it takes to make it to the next day and keep the camera in your hand.

Great piece. Thanks for posting.
