First off, welcome! I’m Jan Danielewicz, a creative entrepreneur, and photo + video freelancer. My passion lies in helping YOU turn your passion for photography into a thriving business. With that being said this is YOUR space to grow, connect, and learn alongside other talented creatives. To get started on the right foot, I’ve put together this post to guide you. My tip: Take your time! We want to know who you are as a person. In your introduction, you can mention the following: - What is your name? - Where are you from? - What kind of photo/video work do you do/want to do? These questions are just a few templates for you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go through the introductions every now and then and feel free to respond using the REPLY button (: PS: It's definitely worth activating the bell on this post so you know when someone new introduces themselves.

So... finally after long negotiations and conversations through emails I signed my first working contract 🥳 with Chinese agency that represents Chinese celebrities that come for Couture fashion week (July 6-9). I will be a second photographer and will accompany artists to fittings, street photos and runway shows,of course 😊 I'm really excited but also scared at the same time 😅it's my first big project and I want to do it well😊 The schedule is packed and I actually start this Sunday with their arrival to the hotel and fittings for the show on Monday....( So I will be working July 5-9) They provide water,lunch and transport in between all the spots. Also I keep my ownership rights,so I'm happy that it's the case and if they want to sell some of my photos later they should ask me first and pay me too. I will not be able to share the photos super freely for now, because I have to wait for them to post first and approve the photos I would like to post. But that's understandable, because with all my clients I ask first what I can post and send them how I invision it on my page 🤗 I will be working with a couple and 2 other actresses. I bought all of them little souvenirs from Paris,bag charms that look like croissant 🥐 You can see them on added photo😉 Also,I'm excited to practice my Chinese with them at least a bit, because I have been working on it for some time🙃 I'm not paid a lot,but I have my image rights and will be able to enter the shows that I saw only from outside before....so it doesn't bother me much😊 So... yeah, never stop your outreach!!! This job I landed because I sent an email after I saw on Threads that they are looking for photographers to cover Couture fashion week...If I never sent it I would have never have it...so... Let's go!!!!!

Woke up with that feeling that it’s gonna be an amazing day. I helped so many people and was so productive… Did i make money? No. Did I go to the gym? No. Did I even make myself happy today? No. But I did hard thing for other people, sacrificed my time and energy for the wellbeing of my peers. Man it’s a good day, I love being useful on this earth and even though I can’t work right now too much, I am still enjoying life helping those in need. A couple lessons today… 1. Be grateful for any amount of money you earn, when you lose the ability to make it predictably you’ll be happy with anything 2. Never make your purpose/goal in life a fixed number of achievements. Always just think about becoming better everyday and that’s all that matters.

(if you have or want to start a community of your own this is the content you should be watching) Sam Ovens and Kirby are awesome, rare to see a CEO who makes updates every week to his platform and shares his thought process as well as listening to his customers! Just showing my appreciation for Skool as a platform here. Yeah but on the topic of Skool communities if you want to start one @Mete Olmez and @Jay Rutgrink can help you a ton with starting and growing engagement!! 😉
