I attended a lecture with guest speaker, Pamela Martin, a marine/ environmental/ documentary photographer, who graduated from the same course I am currently undertaking. Knowing that she has been in the same shoes as the rest of us budding photographers, and has achieved so much in such short amount of time is quite extraordinary and shines a ray of hope that it is possible to pursue a career that you love if you have the courage to believe in yourself and your work.

Here's some of her advice for student photographers that stood out for me:

Have clear goals
Write a vision for your career
Believe and back yourself
Enter all the competitions you can - this one was a major influence on her success rise
Don't do it purely for the money, do what you love
Research the people that are the best at what you want to do
Meet people that will support/ help with what you do

So I stumbled upon this blog a couple days ago and literally had to use all my will power to stop my finger from continuing to scroll down the pages. The amount of creativity is so beautiful and addictive.

Wolf Eyebrows is run by Cath Green who has collected a number of inspiring sites and posted them on this blog. The link I have at the top is where I finished off... for now.
