Set high expectations for communication. Don’t take a “grunt” as an acceptable answer, especially from teenagers. Don’t believe the gender stereotype that “men are not talkers.” It takes learning and practice.

Choosing a mentor
Be brave and choose someone who challenges and has a different life experience to you. The benefit for you is a broader base of knowledge rather than a narrow focus on work/career  or a very specific goal. A mentor relationship is about learning for both you and your mentor.

Taking the perfect photo
The perfect photo is always the one where you feel that what you saw with your eye is what is captured in camera, so understand the exposure triangle – aperture, shutter speed and ISO – and how they work together.
Then;
Trust your eye,
Open your heart,
You will capture the moment.

How do I give myself permission to pursue my creative goals?

Best advice received
When you are driving keep a two  second gap to the car in front and look at the car in front of the one you are following. It will give you more time to react.
