helloworlditsjared asked: Hey, I am fairly new photographer coming out of minneapolis to LA, And I was curious if you might have any helpful things that I should know about how to expand and grow my business once I get out to la? I know you probably get messages like this all the time but it would be really helpful and much appreciated if you could respond. Thanks so much. Jared ps. I love your work.

Hi Jared! Really the #1 suggestion is to network, network, and network. Get to know the local modeling agencies, agents, art directors, ad agencies, editors, even other photographers, models, and other talents… pretty much anyone of importance within the industry.

If you start now (before you get to LA) you can get a jump on this! Cheers! And thanks for the kind words!
