I get most of my inspiration from YouTube. There are 3 YouTubers who I mainly follow: Peter McKinnon Matti Haapoja Chrystopher Rhodes - YCImaging They’re creative and really provide practical advice that I can use to hone my craft. I don’t have official qualifications in this field but I still want to provide high quality work. Learning from them helps me do this. BASED ON YOUR EXPERIENCE, WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO MARKET TO A JAMAICAN AUDIENCE? Videos and photos tend to be work best.

Networking has worked for me. It’s important to put your brand out there even if you don’t have the financial backing. Stick to it. Aim to make yourself better than you were yesterday. Go back to school if that’s what you need to do. If you have the natural skills, network with people who have skills that can complement yours. ISSUE:4 APRIL 2019 42
