Why did we pass over how she actually got started so quickly? It was either a miracle or bollocks – and I don't believe in miracles.You don't just get someone suddenly asking you to shoot a wedding after they see photos of your dog and some flowers. Where's the practical advice in that?
Thank you for your lovely podcast 🙏🏻🥰 honestly I appreciate what you’re doing ,it’s so useful 🔥🔥
One of your best interviews to date. Paula is the bees knees.
I couldn't finish this episode. Not once did it live up to the premise of the title: HOW. We're supposed to believe you became successful (i.e you made money and ran a business, not just showed up for free) and put food on the table by "collabing" and working part time at another job? That sounds a lot like working on other people's ideas and projects in return for experience bucks and shout-outs to me. No thanks.
Great to hear your story, Nikki! Thanks for sharing 🙏
👏👏
One thing I never hear is how they built their portfolio in the first place! HOW did you get people into the studio? I live in a city of millions and can't find anyone to shoot 😭
