5 Ways to Get You Noticed as a Photographer (Notice Me Senpai!)


Notice me Senpai! That's probably what you said the first time you went out there and start your own photography brand. Getting your worked out there could be a challenge if you don't know which step to take.

There are 5 main steps to take and I can assure you, if you pour your hearth into it you will be notice in no time.

1. Have you ever been to World Wide Web?



Yup, you betcha. The internet is a magical source which you can use as a tool to get you notice, well you probably already know this, but let me just remind you that the internet is full of things. You can start off small by using Facebook and Instagram, and continue to photography forum and Reddit.

2. I want to be the very best! 
Enter photography contest, no matter what it is, you need to at least try. There are several benefits of joining a contest. You can get noticed, make new friends and challenge yourself to take a different kind of photos. So contact your local newspaper, magazine or simply search the internet if there's any photo contest near you.

3. Have a Website.. or a blog.. 
Creating a website for your work is a must, you can't skip this step. With a website, you can showcase your work easily with a click. Every time you meet with your client, you can just open your website with a tablet or laptop and let them browse around. It's also good if you write in your blog and share it to your Social Media.

4. Think outside of the box

Creativity is your strongest weapon in surviving the industry. Think outside of the box, you might find idea on Google images or Pinterest, but never ever copy that idea 100%. Always try as best as you can to be original.

5. Be good at what you're doing.. duhhh..
This goes without saying, but being a good photographer is the number one key to achieve your dream. Never satisfy with your work, technology gets newer each day, so does the camera. From time to time, new camera is invented, which mean you can't never stop learning and those who never stop learning will be the best at doing what they love.
